"A piece to my new mama self, and to new mamas before and since. Caught in a loop of cuddling and feeding and nappy changes, finding it near impossible somedays to get dressed and outside, worrying about what that means in a world that expects us to get back to normal quickly, to appear like the Instagram dream of motherhood. Letting messages go unanswered, books go unread and cups of tea go cold. I’m still here, I’m just needed right now. I’m right where I need to be. "
