Lately life has felt a little heavier than usual.
Between PCOS, anxiety, depression, and my period being late, my body and mind have honestly felt out of sync. Some days it’s hard to tell what’s hormones, what’s emotions, and what’s just exhaustion from trying to keep up with life.
I’ve also had to work through deeper things from my past, growing up without a consistent biological father and learning how to heal from the emotional weight that comes with that. It’s something that still shapes parts of me, even now, but I’m learning it doesn’t get to define me.
But even in the middle of all of that, I don’t want to overlook what I do have.
Not everyone is blessed with an amazing mom, but I am. I have a mother who has always loved me, protected me, and been there for me through everything.
And I also have my dad, my stepdad, but truly my dad in every way that matters most. He raised me, showed up for me, and made it clear that I am his daughter. I am proud to be his daughter, and he is proud to have me. I couldn’t ask for a better dad than that, truly.
My amazing in-laws who I absolutely love, and appreciate more than anything! Not every daughter in law says how much they love their in-laws, but I do, and I’m so thankful they’ve made it easy to love them and be part of their amazing family. I am more than blessed in that, for sure!!
Not to mention my sweet husband, my rock, my cheerleader on the days I can’t do anything, or on days I’m struggling worse than normal. He’s loved me through the surgeries (before them, and after), through the fertility treatments, the hormones, the anxiety, depression, weight fluctuations. He’s loved every version of me he’s seen, and he continues to love every version, whatever version comes next. For that, I am SO grateful for.
(And of course my brother, who I love so very much and would absolutely do anything and everything for. He is the kindest young man ever, and is always worried about me. He wants to be a GYN to help women get treated and diagnosed properly, and actually care for them, because he knows all I went through and how much I’ve struggled, and still do).
I don’t take any of that for granted. Ever.
So yes, I’m still healing. Still navigating health struggles and emotional weight I’m working through. But I’m also deeply grateful for the people who stayed, loved me well, and helped shape who I am.
Sometimes social media makes it easy to feel alone in what we’re going through, so I’d love to hear from you too ❤️
✨What’s something you’ve been healing from, learning through, or overcoming lately?✨
And if you need prayers, leave a comment or message me privately. My husband and I would genuinely love to pray for you. 🙏🏻
