No one tells you that motherhood isn't just the birth of a baby.

It's the slow unraveling of the woman you thought you were.

One day you wake up and realize the life that once fit so naturally no longer does.
Your body feels unfamiliar.
Your thoughts are louder.
Time bends in strange ways.
The things that used to matter don't seem to carry the same weight, yet you can't quite grasp what matters now.
