at summer school pick-up for my almost five-year-old, i noticed a teacher kept staring at me.⁣
⁣
when our eyes connected, she finally said, “do you have three girls?”⁣
⁣
"i have four. my oldest is at another camp,” i smiled.⁣
⁣
“i have three girls. they’re in their twenties now, but you reminded me of how i used to be. you’ll miss this so much,” her eyes welled with tears as she spoke.⁣
⁣
my heart cried for her as it hit me.⁣
⁣
those moms who say, “one day you’ll miss this,” or "it goes by so fast," are often seen as belittling us newer mom’s hard,⁣
like they’re just telling us to suck it up.⁣
⁣
and yes, sometimes their timing is off when they say it to the mom dealing with a tantrum at the store or refereeing a sibling fight.⁣
⁣
but that’s not their intention.⁣
⁣
they say it simply because that’s how 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 feel.⁣
⁣
because staring at you, makes 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 nostalgic.⁣
⁣
because they know firsthand through watching their children grow up that it’s the greatest joy but has also shattered their hearts.⁣
⁣
and you still have time.⁣
⁣
so, we need to forgive the mom shopping for jeans with her college-aged daughter,⁣
and the grandma buying milk at the store,⁣
and politely smile—⁣
even if through gritted teeth.⁣
⁣
because i know we may not see it yet⁣
because we’re knee-deep⁣
in tantrums,⁣
and exhaustion.⁣
⁣
but all those veteran moms only say those words⁣
because they see the ghost of who their family used to be in you,⁣
and gosh,⁣
they miss it.

There comes a day, somewhere in the middle of every woman’s life, when Mother Nature herself stands behind us and wraps her arms around our shoulders, whispering
“It’s time.”
“You have taken enough now. It’s time to stop growing up, stop growing older and start growing wiser – and wilder.
There are adventures still waiting on you and this time, you will enjoy them with the vision of wisdom and the companionship of hindsight, and you will really let go.
It’s time to stop the madness of comparison and the ridicule of schedule and conformity and start experiencing the joys that a life, free of containment and guilt, can bring.”
She will shake your shoulders gently and remind you that you’ve done your bit. You’ve given too much, cared too much, you’ve suffered too much.
You’ve bought the book as it were and worn the t-shirt.
Worse, you’ve worn the chains and carried the weight of a burden far too heavy for your shoulders.
“It’s time” she will say.
“Let it go, really let it go and feel the freedom of the fresh, clean spaces within you. Fill them with discovery, love and laughter. Fill yourself so full you will no longer fear what is ahead and instead you will greet each day with the excitement of a child.”
She will remind you that if you choose to stop caring what other people think of you and instead of caring what you think of you, that you will experience a new era of your life you never dreamed possible.
‘It’s time’ she will say..
“to write the ending, or new beginning, of your own story.”
