How Motherhood changed me as a person

I remember, as a child I always wanted to be a mother. I loved mothering my dolls just like how my mother took care of me. Moreover My mother had very powerful influence in my life. Honestly she was the only one who took whole lot of efforts in my upbringing. I have seen her in that process. Believe me, in those days I remember she was like a lioness and would go to any extent to protect me. She was a young lady who got her education and was building her own life. God knows from where she got so much strength and courage to cope with challenges that life threw at her. She had absolutely no support with chores or finances to raise a baby but she did everything on her own. Certainly I admired her the most and wondered whether motherhood can change people. In short there was this hidden calling in me to embark the journey of motherhood, to experience the nature's great plan (reproduction).

On 5th July 2021, We were blessed with a baby boy and since then life has changed in all sorts of beautiful ways. He is an absolute sweetheart. Really, he looks at me with so much love and affection in his eyes, that my heart melts everytime. The kind of changes Anshu brought in my life has affected me as person and now I am Version 2.0 of Mimansa. Yes! 

I am a sensitive person.I naturally get emotional when I see anyone in pain.I get this urgent urge to help. But post my baby's birth I've become much more sensitive than before. Specially towards children. I can't see any child in tears. I feel motherly love for all children. I empathize with children all the time.I know it's not easy to be a child. So many things are not in a child's control. All they are able to do is adjust and learn how to adjust. Also the growing inequalities around us never let all children to start from same platform. Some are privileged but most are not. I want to help them all. I am praying for all of them that they get strength to overcome.

Many say that delivering baby is like a mother's rebirth. I used to think this is such an overrated statement. But now I understand the context. After what you go through in the process of giving birth, you tend to become stronger physically and mentally. I feel more determined than before and my energy is on another level. Don't be surprized If I do some epic stuff in near future. Ha Ha

Mimansa choose your battles: Ex- Manger of my previous organization gave these golden words as an advice which will stay with me entire life. Anshu's birth is a reminder to this. Energy should be spent on only those battles which will lead me somewhere. For everything else. Just say.. CUT THE CRAP.
