We're all just trying our best

This is probably the fifth blog I've attempted in my life. I tried to do a food, fashion, book reviews and more and I never could keep it up. I think I was trying to hard to BE a blogger, and yet I was so conscious of myself, my writing, my photos-just everything. I wasn't writing for myself, I wanted to become this idealized version of myself, those perfect influencers that have a stunning curated life and blog of all the perfect things that they do. Honestly I don't care if no one ever reads this, I just miss the feeling of writing how I feel, what's going on in my life. I love how it makes me feel to pour my thoughts into a paragraph. I'm not calling this a mommy blog but I guess if we have to define it that is what this would be.


Since my daughter was born in 2021 it's basically become my whole identity. I love being a mom but it's hard. And I'm trying. Trying to be good at caring for my kid, good at my day job, good at being a wife, good at taking care of the house and finally good at taking care of myself. Note that taking care of myself came in last. I've always struggled at that, making time for things I like to do. How can I when I have to work, clean, make dinner, clean more, emotionally support my family... I think I lost myself at some point this year.


My health was at its worst this year and I need to reprioritize. I need to learn to ask for help, treat my body more kindly, and just try my best. I've just started a new job that's been amazing for my mental health so far so that's a start. This blog is also a start, a start to document what it's like to try your best as mom. How it's okay to be lazy and selfish sometimes. That being a mom shouldn't mean you let yourself fall into the routine of "all I am is a mom". I want to write, read books, exercise, play video games, cook delicious meals. Those are just some of the things that I love to do on my free time. Yes, it often feels like there are not enough hours in the day but I'm just going to try my best. If you stuck around this long I hope you follow along with me.
