If you’re lucky in this life, you’ll be handed a great love. The kind that makes you understand every love song you’ve ever heard. The kind of love that goes deeper than any emotion you’ve ever felt and when life gets sad or heavy that love sits in your chest like something you’re almost afraid to say out loud in case the world hears your feelings and takes it back too.
And I don’t know how else to explain it, but I just know I’m thankful every single day that our younger selves found each other and built this love.
Forever in each other’s orbit. And I would choose this - I choose you - across every universe there is.
I grew up on millennial movies and that scene never ended well. You hear it and your brain goes straight to the worst version of it, because when you’ve spent years watching your child navigate a world that wasn’t really built for her, you learn to brace yourself for the next thing.
But then she kept talking. They’d decorated it. Filled it with lollies, balloons and little photos of their whole group. And then they sang happy birthday to her, right there in the corridor - and I just know that she would have had the biggest smile plastered across her face.
And as the words tumbled out of her mouth my eyes became glassy and had to turn away so she didn’t see me cry 🥹
I don’t think people who haven’t raised a neurodivergent child fully understand what that moment means. It’s not just a sweet birthday surprise - it’s 12 years of quietly wondering if she’d find her people. 12 years of parent-teacher conversations, meltdowns, explaining and just wanting, more than anything, for someone to see her and choose her anyway. Not in spite of who she is. Just - because of it.
And these girls did that. Without being asked. Without even knowing what it would mean to me standing in the kitchen listening to her tell the story.
She is so loved for the loud, passionate, funny and kind girl she is, and my heart is so full it genuinely doesn’t know what to do with itself.
If you’re in the thick of it right now, still in the waiting and the wondering and the bracing yourself - I see you. This is the part where I tell you it’s not always going to feel this hard. Come hang around here for a while, because this is a space for the honest version of motherhood. The full one. The hard bits and the locker moments and everything in between ❤️
It’s been a hard few days professionally, not in a clinically challenging way - but in a human way.
Sometimes you face all the worst parts of the job - the parts that you wish you didn’t have to be involved in, and you carry weight home that doesn’t belong around your kitchen table, but it’s there anyway.
That’s the job though - sometimes, not the textbook version, not the version they prep you for in clinical placement, but the real version, the one that stretches you as a human being, that asks you to witness things people outside of healthcare will never fully understand.
And I’m not writing this for sympathy, I’m writing it because somewhere out there another healthcare worker is probably feeling it too right now, quietly, on their drive home, in the shower or when they can’t sleep and are staring at the ceiling at 2am.
Book the leave, find the thing outside of work that reminds you who you are when you’re not a nurse, stay tethered to yourself, because this job will test that tether and you need it to hold.
I’m okay, I just needed to say it out loud - because I’m human ❤️
Drop a 🌊 if you needed to hear this today.
Warm blankets don’t just appear, sis. Someone has to load them. That someone is apparently always me, and I’ve made peace with that, and also I haven’t at all.
Night shift nurses, is your warmer always empty or is it just mine 🥹😭😭
It’s just said, and then the person is left to figure it out on their own, in the middle of a shift, when they’re already running flat out and genuinely doing their best with what they know.
So here are six things that will actually help - practical, specific things you can start doing on your very next shift 🤩
Follow for more honest nursing content, save this one for placement or your grad year and let me know in the comments what they didn’t teach you in uni that you wish they had xx
But then you stand up, and gravity lets you know that your optimism was short lived and you will in fact be doing laundry today 🥴🥴
We talked about what it would mean for her and how best to manage and she walked in, found her teachers and told them herself.
And I wasn’t expecting what happened next. They asked: “What might today look like for you without it?” And together, they adjusted 🥹
She’s 12. And these educators are doing something that wasn’t an option for me.
I am a late diagnosed AuDHD woman and I spent decades not knowing why I felt the way I felt - not having words for any of it, not knowing I could ask for help because I didn’t know what to ask for.
She has what I did not. Not just a diagnosis. A language, and an understanding of her own brain. The confidence to walk into school and say “here is what is happening for me today.”
That didn’t come from nowhere. It came from years of honest conversations with her and from treating her brain as something to understand, not manage.
As someone who understands the pull of being the different kid, the pride I feel for how she handles herself is something else.
She knows herself and she advocates for herself.
ND parents, diagnosed late or otherwise, how are you helping your kids build that self-awareness? I would love to hear what has worked for your family.
If you’re an educator and this how you’d handle this situation - thank you. Because you make an otherwise difficult day manageable for both of us ❤️
If you are a ND mum, a late diagnosed woman, or just someone trying to figure out how to show up for your kids - you belong here. Follow for more 🥰
I’m quieter now, and I mean that in the best way, I have time to process before I respond, and I choose to engage rather than just make noise to fill the silence, which means things have gotten a bit quieter.
I’m not as reactive - which sometimes manifests as lacking in passion or engagement which can mean I look like I just care. I don’t feel this constant pull to justify myself or prove anything to anyone, and the all or nothing mentality doesn’t exist - I don’t feel compelled to be completely all in or completely absent anymore, and that middle ground I could never seem to find before, I can stand in it now.
But I want to be honest about what hasn’t shifted too, because that’s the whole point of this series. I still have a hard time prioritising others over myself, that part is still mine to work through, and if I’m being really honest I don’t think I’m done with titration yet, I could probably still go up, and that’s okay, because that’s the process I told you about in part two. Same person. Just with a bit more space to actually be her.
If you made it through all three parts of this, thank you for coming with me, and I really want to know where you are in your own story, because this community is the whole reason I share any of it.
Find someone who will white-knuckle a rental car through a foreign roundabout with you and still be laughing about it at dinner.
Tell me your best “we were completely lost and somehow fine” story 👇
I don’t know what it is about having someone do your hair, but something about it just opens people up. She started talking almost immediately. About her friends, about something that happened at school that I hadn’t heard yet, about a song she’s been listening to on repeat that she knew I’d love too.
And I just sat there, eyes closed, laughing at the beautiful moments she was sharing with me. Saying “really?” and “then what?” and genuinely invested in it, while she pulled my hair into something I can only describe as ambitious. (But also, when did she get better at hair than me?)
I think sometimes these girls just need a reason to be close. Not a big conversation, not a structured check-in, just a reason to be near you with their hands busy and their guard down. And if a braided updo is what gets me twenty minutes of her talking freely, I will take it every single time.
She finished, said “let me take a photo,” held up her phone so I could see the back of it in the camera, and said “you look amazing.” It actually did 🥹
What’s something your child does that gets you talking without you even realising? Tell me below 🥹
