There's no one word that can describe what being a mother means to me. It's a constant rollercoaster of emotions - from the highest highs to the lowest lows. It's a never-ending job that comes with no manual. It's the hardest job I'll ever love.
Being a mother means being selfless. It means putting your child's needs before your own, always. It means sacrifice and compromise. It means never getting a break, even when you're exhausted and running on empty.
It also means feeling an immense amount of love and pride. It means watching your child grow and learn, and feeling like you had a hand in that. It means feeling grateful for every single moment, even when it's tough.
Being a mother is the best, and hardest, thing I've ever done. It's made me into a better person, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
