I AM still me!

Where to begin, when I first became a mother to my lovely Riley I honestly completely lost who I was as a person, I was an artist, musician, I used to go out and actually do things with my friends. I completely stopped and just got really sad and depressed :pensive_face: I was at the low of the low. My life was in shambles but here I am here pregnant with my second and third little girls. I’ve gotten back into the gym started crocheting and painting again. Jamming out on my guitar and teaching my daughter how to play the piano! I’m still along ways but I am happier than I’ve been in a long time! I’m STILL ME! I’m smiling :slightly_smiling_face: I’m getting out, doing NORMAL every day things like I used to! I’m spending more time with my family and that’s always been important to me.

I love hearing that things are starting to feel normal again for you! That’s something that I’ve been struggling with in the throes of motherhood-- I can’t do the things I used to as easily, but your post gives me hope that I’ll be able to do it all again!

I’m so happy you are finding time to do the things you love. That’s what I struggled with at first as well. I really want to try new hobbies. I really want to start painting as well
