This all started with my struggles, small comebacks, and hearing other’s stories similar to mine has
motivated me to share my journey in hopes of inspiring those that they are not alone and that anything
is possible.
I currently can’t discuss the details of my situation because I am still going through the and process and
changes in my life and my children. So far I’ve learned to adapt to the changes in my journey, accept the
shame and vulnerability in all aspects of my life.
Creating a meaningful life for myself and my kids has been quite a journey. Not every day is a struggle
and I count those blessings every second. I live and breathe for myself and my kids. Ever since I became a
mom my whole perspective and priorities have changed most positively. I learned how to be more
patient and what works best for me and my kids as we figure out this life just us girls. You’re probably
wondering why I’m mentioning myself first before my kids. Honestly, I have to take care of myself first to
be there for my kids. I can’t stress enough how important it is to care for your mental and emotional
health. Raising kids on my own while working and going to school is no walk in the park. Not going to lie,
I do have my moments of breakdowns that I do privately. Those breakdowns do help me release the
anguish while I go through some tough times. Sure, I feel crappy and down on myself when I have those
moments. It is better to let it out so it’s not bottled up inside you. The most important part of these
breakdowns is not staying down for too long. I wiped my tears and got out of that funk. I refuse to stay
down and feel sorry for myself. Honestly, I dislike how I feel when I have my low moments. It’s not a
good feeling. I look for the blessings in my life and look forward to another day to make it a positive one
with my kids. I will share with you in another blog post what helps me decompress and self-care tips.
Having an outlet for yourself is a great way to do something that is just for you. That is why I have started
a blog so I can share my journey and encourage single parents and all parents in any kind of situation to
get through life and find their light through this dark maze of life.
These are just a few snapshots of me and my girls. We have been through quite a journey together and it
has only made us stronger and closer. We rely on each other for anything and have built a great
relationship ever since they came into this world. I am a mom first and also they are one of my closest
and best friends any mother can have. I love and cherish my relationship with my kids. Any spare time I
get to have with them is something I value the most and never take that for granted. I hope our journey
will inspire parents and their children to build solid relationships and create quality time together.
