You know what’s the hardest part of being a mom?
It’s not just the sleepless nights, the never-ending chores, or the mental load of remembering everything for everyone.
It’s the fact that sometimes… you want to run away from it all, even just for a moment.
You want to pause.
You want to breathe.
You want silence — not because you don’t love your kids, but because you’re tired.
Tired in ways you can’t even explain.
But the hardest part?
You don’t really have a choice.
You can’t just walk away.
Because someone always needs you.
Because you’re a mom.
And in their world, you are home.
Minsan gusto mo lang magpahinga kahit saglit… pero kahit yung “saglit” na yun, ang hirap kunin.
Gusto mong takasan ang pagiging Nanay sa loob ng 10 minutes — pero hindi pwede.
Kasi may umiiyak.
May nagugutom.
May naghahanap ng yakap.
May kailangang alagaan, gabayan, pakainin, mahalin.
And somehow, you give — kahit ubos ka na.
Kahit gusto mo na lang mahiga at manahimik.
Kahit di mo na maalala kung kelan ka huling inuna.
But if you’re reading this and feeling it deep in your soul — please know this:
You are doing so much. You are carrying more than what people see.
And kahit walang trophy, walang medal, o standing ovation, what you’re doing matters.
One day, your kids will remember not the messy house or the times you cried in the bathroom —
They’ll remember the love.
The sacrifice.
The way you showed up for them, every single time.
So to every mom who’s tired but still trying —
You are seen. You are appreciated. And you are not alone. 💛
