Best Quotes
Every year is a good year
Before becoming a mama, I used to think the “best years” of life were the carefree ones — sleeping in, traveling whenever I wanted, having everything under control and doing things according to my sweet will. But this holy position, motherhood completely changed the way I see life. Even thouh I am not in a position to sleep eat and travel according to my sweet will, still I see my life as a beautiful thing.
The newborn cuddles felt magical.
His first smile felt magical.
Hearing his tiny laugh for the first time? Pure magic.
The day he started say “Ammi” (mama) is Divine
And I know there will be so many more moments ahead that will somehow become my new favorite to
That’s the beautiful thing about being a mother — your heart keeps growing with every season.
Every year won’t be easier.
Every year won’t be perfect.
But every year will hold something beautiful. So everyday I mummer to myself that Every year is a good year
You are doing great
I think every first-time mama needs to hear this more often.
Because behind every smiling photo is usually a tired mom wondering if she’s doing enough. We question everything — feeding, sleeping, routines, milestones, all of it. Some days motherhood feels natural, and other days it feels overwhelming.
I’ve had moments where I felt completely exhausted and unsure of myself. Earlier, my breastmilk supply was very low, and I was deeply depressed. I blamed myself so much. But little by little, I began to understand that this is my capacity, my potential. I am not neglecting my baby — I am truly doing my best, and this is my best.
So I told myself, “You are doing well, Huvini. Keep going.” 🤍
As well when my cute baby boy Hithesh looks at me with complete love and trust, and I remember something important:
to him, I am enough.
Motherhood isn’t about doing everything perfectly, neat and tidy always. It’s about loving your child through every messy, emotional, beautiful moment.
If you are a new mama reading this while your baby is running on little sleep and a lot of love — you are doing a great job, even when you don’t feel like it.
“It’s okay if you feel like you’re losing it sometimes.”
Motherhood can be incredibly beautiful… but also incredibly overwhelming.
There are days when the crying won’t stop, the house is a mess, you haven’t had a moment to yourself, and suddenly everything feels too much. And as a first-time mama, those moments can make you feel guilty, frustrated, or emotional.
But the truth is — it’s okay.
It’s okay to have hard days.
Fine to cry in the bathroom for five minutes.
It’s okay to feel overstimulated and exhausted sometimes.
Becoming a mother doesn’t mean you stop being human.
One thing I’ve learned after having my baby boy is that strong mothers are not the ones who never struggle. Strong mothers are the ones who keep showing up even on the difficult days.
And honestly, some days survival is enough.
Trust your instincts
Becoming a mom comes with so much advice from everyone around, since I am here in Japan, I received very less. But in my case whole stuffs from internet and books were a kind of headache. People will tell you how to feed your baby, how to get him to sleep, what routines to follow, and what they think is “right.”
At first, it can feel overwhelming trying to listen to all the noise from physical persons if you are surrounded more or even whole stuffs from internet could be a mess too,
But slowly, I started realizing something:
no one knows my baby boy the way I do. That is the best way to take care of your mind.
A mother’s instincts are powerful. Sometimes I can tell what my son needs before he even starts crying. Sometimes my heart just knows when something feels right or wrong for him.
And that confidence didn’t appear overnight. It came through experience, mistakes, learning, and spending every day loving my child.
As a first-time mama, I’m still figuring things out.
But I’m also learning to trust myself more.
You are not alone in this.
Motherhood can feel lonely sometimes, especially in the beginning.
Your whole life changes overnight, and suddenly your days revolve around feeding schedules, naps, diapers, and trying to keep up with everything while barely resting yourself. Meanwhile, the outside world seems to keep moving normally.
I think many first-time moms silently struggle with feeling isolated.
But one thing I wish every mama knew is this:
so many other women are feeling the exact same way.
There are other moms awake during late-night feedings.
Other moms wondering if they’re doing enough.
Other moms trying their best while feeling exhausted too.
And somehow there’s comfort in knowing we’re all learning together.
Motherhood was never meant to be done perfectly or alone.
Sometimes we just need someone to remind us that we’re not failing — we’re simply growing into this new version of ourselves, one day at a time.
How about you?
