New beginnings

It’s so nice to be back 🌸🌸🌸 we are here again after almost a year, more ready and more grounded than ever. 

The decision was made within just a few seconds, on a day full of exhaustion, psychological and physical pressure, responsibilities, and lack of sleep, when the idea came to continue the blog. Chris and I looked at each other and immediately both said “yes.”

Many times, it’s not about the time you have or don’t have, but about the state you are in. Last year, we were new parents, with a little baby who needed 100% of our attention, with new roles and responsibilities, and with other circumstances from external factors that were weighing on us a bit more psychologically.

This year, one year later, we have our little one who still needs 100% of our attention, now full of much more energy. We have returned to our jobs, the conditions around us are more or less the same, but… we have changed.

It is shocking how much a person, through new roles, conditions, and situations they experience, can change so much within a year. I look at Maria one year ago and I want to go and give her a hug for everything she was trying to handle, feeling overwhelmed 24/7.

My conclusion, at least, is that we need time, many times. We need to let circumstances unfold, to put what we think into order, to understand our priorities, and to let change evolve on its own, day by day, without even realizing it.

And then, at some random moment, you happen to look back and realize everything that has changed.

And that, in the end, it wasn’t the lack of time that was pressuring you and not allowing you to get things done, but the lack of attention to yourself🌷🌸
