Your joy is a slap
in the face of my despair.
Please don’t smile at me.
While others rest I
cry until I cannot see.
No one knows a thing.
My own smile is rare.
I cannot seem to find it
in an empty room.

An Open Letter to Anyone Who Loves a New Mom
When you’re tempted to push them into the space of who they’ve always been… Remind yourself that change is part of the beauty and evolution of life. Remind yourself to embrace who they are in this moment. Remember that life is not linear but rather goes in cycles. Seasons.
