“Nothing can really prepare you for the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother. It is full of complex emotions of joy, exhaustion, love and worry, all mixed together.”
— Kate Middleton
Simplified Meaning:
Becoming a mother is something that can't be fully understood until it happens. It's a huge and powerful experience that combines many different feelings. Imagine getting a new job that you've always wanted; you feel excitement, stress, happiness, and nervousness all at once. Motherhood is like that but even more intense. You'll feel incredible joy when looking at your child, deep love that you've never known before, and at the same time, you'll often feel very tired and sometimes worried about doing everything right. So it's a mix of beautiful and challenging emotions that you can't really prepare for ahead of time. Mothers learn along the way, and it's okay to feel all these things because it just means you care so much.
