4/24 Edited to

... Read moreHaving gone through the newborn phase recently, I can truly relate to the endless cycle of sleepless nights and unpredictable days. The struggle to establish a routine when you still don’t know your days and nights is very real. Something I learned is the importance of flexibility—trying to stick rigidly to schedules often leads to more stress. Instead, I focused on understanding my baby's unique cues and needs. One thing that helped me tremendously was embracing short naps whenever possible. Like the phrase from the article’s image says, "When mommy thinks I'm finally going to sleep more than 20 minutes," it's a fleeting but precious moment. I found that resting when the baby rests, even if just for a few minutes, helped me recharge. Breastfeeding was another major adjustment. It’s as much about patience as it is about physical effort. Joining local or online breastfeeding groups offered not only tips but also emotional support from others walking the same journey. Lastly, self-care isn’t selfish. Taking small moments to care for myself, whether it was a warm shower, a calming tea, or simply deep breathing, made a difference in my postpartum well-being. For anyone navigating newborn life, remember you’re doing an amazing job, and it’s okay to ask for help whenever needed.

Grieving the loss of someone who’s still alive
Losing someone important to you due to their own choices can be one of the most difficult experiences any human could endure. The sheer part of letting go is the hardest. Why would you let go of someone that’s still there? Doesn’t that show YOU’VE given up? Or maybe you agree to the choice as well?

I really don’t know where to start. 😞
“It’s OK to feel many things at once, including uncertainty”. That is the best way to describe my feeling towards this line from Lattafa. I’ve heard others say these Arabian perfumes need to “macerate/ mature/ sit” for a while to truly develop. Purchased these in the spring of 2024 and i’m not
