Linda admitted that she, at times, did not know who she was. With the intense body and emotionally changes, Linda battled to accept who she was now.
“I remember touching you and feeling a stranger,
“In the darkness I’d hold you hoping you’d feel familiar.
“I’d run my fingers down you and try to find traces of you, the old you but this was new.
“You weren’t there, I wasn’t there.
“So I took the time and reintroduced myself tried to get reacquainted with this stranger my soul inhabits.”
After searching deep for herself, Linda finally found the woman she knew. Despite all the stretch marks, loose skin and unfamiliar things, Linda was always there, just her shell had changed.
“I found her, deep within the layers of my skin, I found her.
“I’m happy to be with her again, though bruised and scarred she remains.”
Sharing this post, Linda wanted women to know that they are still who they were before having a baby, their body does not define them. Linda knows it is tough, but she wants new moms to embrace their bodies as it has fought a battle no other could handle.
