“How you view yourself [changes]. I think that was the biggest change for me when I had my first son. I really kind of respected myself for the first time. I respected my time for the first time, and I respected the value of what that meant and what I was giving up when I spent it incorrectly or when I used it correctly. [My children have taught me] to not forget to be in wonder of all the things around you, as simple as they might be. Not taking them for granted. It’s so special.”
–Alicia Keys on how motherhood has changed her, Humanity Magazine, 2016.
