Being a mom is tough, damn right. But to say that my life is over because I am one is total Bullshit.
That’
s right. I call Bullshit. Becoming a mom does NOT mean I’ve lost all my freedom or given up on all of my hopes and dreams. Instead I get to add something I never knew I needed to my list of things I hope to accomplish – my new #1 is Being a Good Mom.
Yea, it’s a crap load of work. Absolutely, my life is now dedicated to my scrumptious little munchkin. You better believe she comes first. But to say that this is at all something NEGATIVE in my life is complete, and total bullshit.
I am still a 27 year old aspiring creativeprenuer who loves Photography, Art & all things bright and colorful.
I am still a die hard Florida Gator.
I am still Kike’s best friend.
I am still working hard to tame my unorganized tendencies & get a grasp on my issues with procrastination.
I still want to travel the world.
I still have the two year itch to press restart on my life and take risks.
I still cannot keep shoes clean.
I still enjoy REAL hip-hop.
I will always love spending time with my friends and talking shit.
I will never be satisfied with mediocrity.
I will NEVER give up my hopes and dreams. I will ALWAYS include the two loves of my life in all of them.
I am a mom.
I am still me.
For a while after Desmond was born, I didn’t feel like my own person. It took a while to find a balance but I think I’m doing okay. It’s great to find time to yourself!! Even if its as simple as a mani/pedi, its alone time, and very much needed you time!
