I got married when I was 20. I got my first kid when I was 21. I spent 9 years being a mom, a wife, a housekeeper, a maid, a cook, a handywoman. I spent 9 years being what everyone else needed and somewhere along the road I lost myself. I've now been divorced for one and a half year. It was his idea, but it was the right thing for us to do. It's been hard, I'm not going to lie. Even harder because while I've been doing this alone, getting back on my own feet, building a home for me and my kids, learning to be alone again - he went out and found another one. They moved in together, are now getting married and expecting their first kid in some 3 months. My kids adore her so that's always something. Instead of running out and trying to build a new family like my ex, ive been spending the time trying to figure out how to be me again. It's not easy. Well some of it is. It's freezing to be able to do stuff just because I love it, but some things have required some heavy would searching. Some of it still require a lot of work. But this is my journey. Laid bare, open, and filled with all my silly thoughts, my fears and hopes. My dreams, and my nightmares. This is me, finding myself.
