It’s easy to lose yourself in your roles—whether as a mother, partner, daughter, or friend—especially when you’re constantly giving. But I’ve learned that I need to nurture my own sense of self, too. I’ve made it a priority to revisit things that made me feel like me before all these roles took over, like traveling, spending time with old friends, or just enjoying quiet time by myself. I’ve also learned to embrace the changes in my identity. Being in a different stage of life, I’m still evolving, and that’s okay. Staying connected to my passions and interests helps me hold onto who I am, even when the world around me is constantly changing. I’ve accepted that it’s not about trying to stay the same but about finding new ways to express myself as I grow.
