✨ “I Just Want to Feel Normal Again”

I’m a mom.

A sick one. A broke one. A strong one.

I just submitted my disability application — something I thought I’d never do.

Not because I gave up, but because I’ve been fighting for so long with no help.

Because I’ve been trying to be strong for my kids, while my body feels like it’s falling apart.

School starts soon and I don’t even know how I’m going to make it work.

I want to scream.

Not for pity — but because I’m tired.

Because I still have so much to give.

Because I want to be the “me” I once was —

the one who was quick on her feet, sharp, energized, unbreakable.

But maybe this version of me is just as powerful.

The me who is learning to ask for help.

The me who doesn’t quit.

The me who fights for her kids even when she can’t fight for herself.

So no, I may not feel “normal.”

But I’m real.

And I’m still here.

And that’s enough.

I Am Reneè 💕
