The sentiments coming out by Chappell Roan are not new with how much motherhood is portrayed as hell, we are not happy and missing out on life. It is becoming more popular with our culture centered around an emphasis of self. No one who has ever achieved anything in life came to that success without sacrificing in some form of self, and at the end, that sacrifice made the achievement even more worth it. Being a mom is sacrifice of self in many moments. We care and we weave our hearts and pieces of ourselves to fit the many cracks of life that need filled. The journey, at times, is hard, lonely and tiring. And yet it’s the most meaningful and beautiful achievement to any mother at the end of the day. Nothing in life worth while or meaningful comes without the cost of sacrificing of self. I feel sad the sentiments on motherhood is that this sacrifice is less than or not worthy all together to be celebrated and seen for the achievement it really is. We are shaping and weaving the very foundations of the future generations. A piece of my heart will be woven till the end of time. I will have great, great, great grandchildren who will not know me and yet my love and pieces of my heart will be woven into their homes and their foundations just as much as my grandmothers and mothers hearts are woven into mine. Being a woman, being a mother, choosing to care and love and fill my home with myself is the most rewarding and wonderful thing I have ever done and for me, no amount of popular success holds a candle to the joy I feel in my role at home. I am a woman, I am a mother, and I thank the Lord for this opportunity and role He has allowed me to be! Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who weave ourselves into our homes and into the future! P.s. in honor of my late mother, I wear her ring that was passed down to her because the threads represented came from what she wove into me. Happy Mother’s Day in heaven mama ❤️ and thank you for sacrificing for me.
