I wasn’t even going to post this…
Halloween’s always been such a big thing for me.
I’m usually that mum who plans matching outfits, has a theme, does the whole thing. But this year… honestly, I’ve been struggling.
I didn’t even want to take the kids trick or treating. I barely managed to get myself out of the house. The kids ended up wearing completely random, mismatched costumes because I just couldn’t be bothered to figure it all out, even though I had a plan in my head. I didn’t get dressed up, I didn’t decorate, I just didn’t have it in me.
And honestly, I wasn’t even going to post anything. I wasn’t planning to take any pictures. We only did because Celine asked right at the end to take our family photo.
Then later, I was scrolling through social media, seeing everyone’s cute photos and organised costumes, and I just sat there thinking, what’s wrong with me? Like, why can’t I get it together this year? Why do I feel so off?
But the truth is - nothing’s wrong with me. Life just feels heavy sometimes. And it’s okay not to have it all together.
But yeah… I guess I’m just trying to remind myself and maybe someone else too that it doesn’t have to be perfect all the time. 🧡
