this very drained mama is masking up and I don’t mean physically.

after quite the stressful morning, one that had me sobbing in the walmart parking lot on a saturday morning, i still very much felt the weight of letting go of the stressful events that occurred.

and instead of curling up in the fetal position, ignoring the outside world, i sat there for the next three hours at someone’s house i don’t know so my sweet girl could celebrate her friend.

for those of us working hard to heal our inner child and the trauma and conditioning we’ve endured, some of us are also trying really hard to let go of the mask(s) we put up when in either social interactions or moments of fight or flight. when we unintentionally put it on whether we are alone or not.

however, while sitting at a random kiddo’s party, i realized, we can actually use masking to our advantage.

i don’t know about you but i’m not about to show up to an eight year old’s birthday party crying my eyes out or acting like a mombie.

i’m just not.

so i may not have felt my best and had the strong desire to be drowning in blankets and cat snuggles. but i showed up with a smile on my face for my happy – screaming kid.

and sometimes, T H A T is what matters.
