Meaning
This reads as a statement about how motherhood can arrive unevenly, with love that does not always begin as instant closeness. It points to the difference between social expectations and lived feeling, and how parenthood can become more natural over time. It lands in moments when someone feels guilty for not matching the ideal version of maternal attachment, yet recognises a real bond has still formed.
