RE: The Birth of a Lioness: Motherhood and Self-Transformation
Thank you so much for sharing this part of yourself with us. I don't think I ever stopped to think about, or mourn the loss of, my old self - let alone appreciate her, lol. A new mother has little time to think (let alone sleep), and yes our focus shifts considerably and almost instantaneously post-birthing.
But it is so worth it. :)
It is worth it, you're right. I guess some of us mourn the old self more than others, lol! Thank you for reading. :)
The mourning comes with comparing your life to then & now.. you look at your pictures from then & then look in the mirror now... & think.... what the hell happened to me LOL
Truth! Laughter and tears in the same moment. :)
And the intense desire for a time machine ...
