motherhood

You woke up tired. Not just physically, but in a way that feels harder to name. The kind of tired that lingers even after a full night’s sleep, if sleep even came easily. Your mind is already running through the day before your feet hit the floor. Schedules, meals, emotions, logistics, reminders. It does not stop.
This is the mental load of motherhood. It is invisible, constant, and often underestimated. While others may see what you do, they may not see what you carry. Over time, that unseen weight can quietly drain your energy, your focus, and even your sense of self.
