This Mother’s Day, I’ve made up my mind. I will celebrate myself the way I desire to be celebrated.
For so long, I waited for others to see me.
To validate me.
To say, “You’re a great mother. You’re a great sister.”
I hoped someone would notice my heart, my struggle, my light.
The silent battles I fight through every day—
the guilt, the constant questioning:
Am I pushing my children too hard?
Are my expectations too high?
Am I giving enough support?
Am I asking too much from my partner?
Am I modelling what I want my children to become?
Every year, I hoped.
And every year, I was disappointed.
But this year… something clicked.
I realised: whether they see it or not, I do.
I know what it took to get here.
I know the healing, the growth, the tears, the sacrifice.
Only I truly understand my journey—
and that’s why it’s up to me to honour it.
No one else can celebrate me the way I know I deserve.
So I will.
I’ll buy the flowers I want.
Book the spa.
Get the massage.
Give myself softness, love, and joy.
Because I am worth celebrating.
I am proud of the woman I’ve become.
This Mother’s Day, I’m not waiting for anyone.
I am the Soul Queen. And I am living in my power. 👑✨
