you've been everything, but yourself....
Have you ever thought: 'Were did i go?'
Somewhere between the school runs, the mental checklists, the caretaking and careerbuilding, you stopped hearing your own voice. You didn't plan to loose yourself, it just happened slowly, quietly.
You kept showing up, holding it together, being what everyone needed. Untill one day you looked in the mirror and thought: 'Where did I go?'.
You're not the only one, but it is time to come back!
the moment i couldn't look away anymore
When everything fell apart, something finally woke up
Somewhere between the to-do lists, the school drop-offs, the never-ending expectations and the quiet pressure to 'just keep going' - I lost myself.
And then life hit pause for me. A cancer diagnosis cracked something wide open. I looked in the mirror and saw a woman I didn't recognize. Not because of the illness, but because I had stopped being me.
