Motherhood Chronicles: Tales of Mami and Her Two Sonshines
Full disclosure: I generated the post's title using ChatGPT. It's Mother's Day today. I didn't plan on writing a blog post today. It is 2024. Social media has been reigning the past few decades and lengthy blog posts have gone out of style. Even Instagram has taken the backseat to TikTok. For personal and mental health reasons, I have chosen to leave Instagram temporarily, and, for the life of me, will never, ever, embrace TikTok. I choose to remain a dinosaur in the social media age. Moving on. I have been a mother for close to 16 years now. Being a mother is hard, y'all, and no one can ever say they are prepared to be mothers. If anyone tells you this, they are lying. No amount of reading can and will prepare you for the dizzying, emotionally intense, identity-changing whirlwind that is motherhood. Having said that, I wouldn't trade the past 16 years for anything in the world. The love I have for my sonshines is unlike anything I have ever experienced.
