Words for the woman becoming herself again.

A letter for you
Maybe this letter is for you.
Dear woman reading this,
For the woman who remembers everyone’s needs before her own. For the mother who gives so much of herself that she sometimes forgets what she needs.
For the woman who loves her family deeply, yet quietly wonders whether there is still room for her own dreams, her own interests, her own voice.
There is.
You do not have to choose between loving them and choosing yourself. You do not have to leave your values behind to grow. You are allowed to come back to yourself.
You matter too.
With warmth,
Namita
