We all have those lightbulb moments: the enlightening occasions when something that previously eluded your attention occurs to you, and you just get it. It finally sinks in. You fully realize, for the first time, whatever truth it was that had been all but staring you in the face. Sometimes, these epiphanies are as simple as realizing you’re tired AF of the PTA. Other times, they’re quite a bit more complex (like accepting the fact you probably never should have said “I do” a second time). Both types of lightbulb moments have value, though… just ask the moms who shared theirs in this week’s roundup from the Confessional.
Here, you’ll find an eclectic array of realizations, from playful to serious, minor to majorly life-changing. Do you have anything that’s hit you like a ton of bricks lately? If so, you can probably relate to this latest batch of secret admissions.
