I miss myself

Your brain doesn’t finish developing until you are 25 and if you are nuerodivigent then that changes to 35. You still have a chance to see the wonders. The perk of having kids young is you will still be young when they are grown and you want to have your own goals and dreams. Just use this time to find your passions and hobbies. And see where it takes you!! You are not selfish for wanting your own experiences in life! That’s human and just cuz you are a wife and mom doesn’t mean your needs don’t matter cuz they do!💝
Follow your interests & go from there. I’m in the same headspace a.t.m too.
Everyone thinks about “what could be” no matter where they are in life! And comparison truly is the thief of joy. Try to stay present and enjoy the “now” that you’re currently in for your own peace of mind🤍 become the best version of you that you can be while also having children. You don’t have to totally lose yourself! Also. Unfollow all of the TikTok/IG mom accounts that talk about how they love their kids but miss who they are or what they could have become. Or love their kids but regret having them. Those accounts are TOXIC for so many reasons. You’re not selfish for feeling the way you do. Try to change your mindset though. You’ll also have sooo much more free time when your LO’s go to school🤍
I never knew adult me and now that I am a mom of two I just don’t want them to feel like they are not worth it or Important to me because of these feelings.
I appreciate you all for making me feel normal about it .
It's never too late!
I’m 22 with a one year old and a 3 week old I miss myself too & I think about what my life could’ve been every day and I can’t shake it off either it’s super hard but I’ve been told by older women and women that have done it all before having kids that they feel the same they miss their life before kids and always think about what they could’ve done so i guess it’s a normal mom feeling it’s just harder mentally when you’re younger
