Yesterday Savannah and I took an impromptu trip to Colby Farm for opening day of their famous sunflower field. One of my absolute favorite summer activities is visiting their sunflower field at the end of every August. The last few weeks have been incredibly difficult and I wasn’t sure I’d make it to see the sunflowers this year. We skipped naptime and buckled up for the drive and it was well worth it. I feel like in this age of social media and oversharing, I have a hard time deciding when to share something difficult but noteworthy. Even happy times I question myself. I don’t like to overshare and I’ve become a more private person in recent years. But since becoming a mom I’m realizing that sharing your struggles isn’t a sign of weakness, nor is it oversharing. This new season of being a mom has been amazing, but can also be insanely lonely sometimes. I don’t have the big family or the “village” you always hear about. But I’ve made mom friends and grown closer to a lot of my other friends as well. And the more I’ve spoken with friends these last few weeks, the more I’ve realized I’m not alone... and if I can make one person out there in the world feel less alone by sharing my story, then that’s beyond worth it to me.
