Being a mother

I’m a mom, is a phrase I never saw myself using at the age of 20. I use to find myself so overwhelming with just thought of being a mother. Don’t get me wrong, in the beginning I was, but only until I realized i wasn’t completely alone. Yes, I am a single mother and yes it terrifies me that I have to do this all by myself with the help of my mom. Most women don’t have the luxury of the help of their mothers so I am most fortunate to have mine. However most women have the luxury of a good man by her side and a good father figure, that is a luxury that I do not. Anyways what I’m getting at is that Motherhood is not easy and I’m not about to tell you that the moment that you have your child it’s a life-changing experience because in all reality your mind is not really going to be all there when you do have your child. The moment that you give birth to your child it’s going to be a moment where things don’t even feel real because it doesn’t fully hit you until you actually get home, or maybe Not even then. Birth never happens the way you want it to go so you can honestly just forget about that. But let me tell you. The moment you bring that precious baby home, that’s when you will finally feel the shit storm that hit you. No sleep. Barely have time to eat or even shower. This will also be the time where you will feel so unattractive and uncomfortable going out of the house. I’m here to tell you mamas. You will learn to love it. Because it’s a small price to pay for a full life right in front of your face that will give you a lifetime of happiness and for all the mothers who have kids. Your doing an amazing job.
