Making the decision to step away from my babies, even for a short time, wasn’t easy. As a mother, every part of me wants to be present but I’ve learned that taking a moment to breathe is necessary. Being a single mom doesn’t mean I have to lose myself in the process. Sometimes, that small break is needed to reset, reflect, and regain strength.
I tell myself it’s a little getaway for all of us a chance for them to grow, and for me to recharge. Still, no matter how much I try to rationalize it, I miss them every single day, every hour, every moment. Motherhood isn’t about being perfect; it’s about finding balance, even when your heart feels torn between rest and responsibility.
