The caterpillar came out of the cocoon and your butterfly was born. How are you feeling mom? Do you think you open your eyes one morning and you have a feeling? You took the test and your feelings did not mislead you. You become a mother. Are your maternal instincts fully involved in that moment? How does it feel to wait for a caterpillar to come out of its cocoon? It's a lively movement. Such a bond is established that no one has the power to break it. You feel them without ever seeing or touching them. Despite all the pain, you don't care how he looks when you meet, what color his eyes are, whether his skin color is dark or light, he looks like his father or you. The bright drops dripping from her eyes better describe the happiness of reuniting with the butterfly inside her.

When you become a mother, you begin to understand that happiness is not in big things, but in small moments. You wouldn't change anything for a smile of your baby. That smile is enough to make you the happiest person in the world, it takes away all your worries. Even after all those sleepless nights, you realize that you can find the energy to meet all your baby's needs during the day. Sleep deprivation no longer feels like a sacrifice, it becomes a part of your daily routine. Sometimes you complain about not taking time for yourself and not getting enough rest; but still you wouldn't change motherhood for anything in the world. You want to make the world a better place for your baby. You will feel strong enough to fight to protect him from all evil. Once you understand what motherhood is like, you begin to have a special respect for all other mothers, especially your own mother. You realize how sublime the things your mother has done for you. After tasting this feeling, you realize that you have the best mother in the world, and you strive to be as good a mother as she is.

Nothing gives such a sublime feeling and happiness as motherhood, but also sadness and anxiety at the same time. In motherhood, you experience all the emotions on earth to the fullest. Feeling stronger emotions than ever and strengthening your instincts keeps you alive and you feel truly alive. You know you had one life before you had kids, but you forget how! Having and raising children is a life-changing experience. You stop questioning the meaning of life, because together with your children you find the meaning of life! You really enjoy being a mother, and over time you start to think that you were born for it. You start to care about things you used to not care about about your health. With the great responsibility of your baby, who you have to be with and meet all their needs, you will become someone who takes firmer steps.

Graduating, getting a job, getting a promotion, falling in love and getting married... These are all stages in your life that make you happy; but none of them gives the feeling of completion that motherhood gives. You will understand this when you become a mother for the first time. You will experience the happiness of being a complete family with your baby.
