The Woman You Put Away
Have you ever looked at yourself and thought…
“When did I become this person?”
I don’t mean that you don’t love your life.
I mean that somewhere along the way, you stopped recognising parts of yourself.
Maybe you used to laugh more.
Dream bigger.
Take risks.
Dance.
Travel.
Speak your mind.
Wear the clothes you loved.
Have ambitions that didn’t involve everyone else.
Then life happened.
You became a wife.
A mum.
A daughter.
A sister.
A boss.
A carer.
A person responsible for everybody else.
And without even noticing it, you started putting pieces of yourself away.
I know that feeling.
But here’s what I believe now:
You didn’t lose her.
She’s still there.
And maybe your next chapter isn’t about becoming somebody completely different.
Maybe it’s about bringing her back.
The woman you put away is still there.
What part of yourself do you miss?
