Let It Once Be Me

A short story of a woman who finally stops disappearing and hiding from that quiet place many women carry but rarely named. For the mothers who have poured from an empty cup, who have loved deeply but lost sight of themselves along the way. This is all for you.

"Let It Once Be Me" is a soft emotional path through early motherhood along with a rollercoaster journey of burnout, love and quiet rebellion. Told through a gentle narrator's lens that follows one mother as she learns that choosing herself does not mean abandoning her child, it means saving them both.

***
She spent years being everything to everyone.

A daughter, sister, friend, lover and a problem solver. But everything shifted when she became a Mom. And to become one at a very young age was hard. All the expectations you grew will become heavier and it would all turn into disappointment.

The words "Be patient. Be grateful. Be strong. Be quiet." starts to collide.

This is not a story about perfection.
It's about honesty, rest and bravery.
Yet, its not about becoming a better mother too.
But a remembering that you were once a woman first.

And to finally have the courage to say: "This time, it's all about me."
