A heartfelt reflection on motherhood

Have you ever heard of double dark circles?

I hadn't even seen them… until I had them. 🙈🙊

The truth is that even when we feel “fine,” our bodies will sometimes show signs that point to where we need to give more attention. And there are times when, because of the rush or necessity, we simply ignore those signs.

The other day my son told me, “Mom, I don’t want to be an adult! I want to stay like this forever.”And I replied, “You just need to learn to enjoy every stage of your life, because each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, we can’t have everything we want in one single phase. So enjoy it. But NEVER forget to take care of your body. Eat well (so you don’t get sick and need medicine). Sleep well. And when you wake up, be grateful every day for your life and for the opportunity to transform your day — even when you don’t feel okay.”

He went silent. Then said again that he didn’t want to grow up. 😑

Funny how I come from a generation that couldn’t wait to grow up.

But times change… and they change so much that I lived long enough to have double under-eye circles 🤣

Let’s keep walking the journey of our lives by embracing changes (not just physical ones) with lightness, and enjoying the ride — because in the end, not even our dark circles will come with us.

Thanks for reading!

See you soon!
