My parents took me, my girls and my sister with her family away for the weekend. We did Hersheypark and Sesame place. It was the first vaca being a single mom. Sounds crazy right. I take them out all the time but this time it was hotel rooms and packing and lugging and watching with kids. Two big amusement parks. All in three days. Just with one parent, their mom and let me tell you...
Was it work? Hell yeah. But I knew it would be. Of course my parents were there and my sister and her husband with her daughter BUT I still made it a point to take full charge. I always said stay with me. I was the one who made sure no one was responsible for them but me.
I looked in the mirror and in pictures and looked younger. Happier. Refreshed. Even on a kid family vacation. Why? Because I am a free to be me.
See I wasn’t happy and when you’re not happy it shows. I am happy now. I have complete control of my own life. My own path. I won’t settle. Never ever. I will never ever sacrifice happiness again verse fear of being alone and lonely. I will never go through life numb or without emotions. I will never not take a moment and appreciate everything because that isn’t how you’re suppose to live! I did while married. I did in relationships after my divorce. Guess what, no more. If I don’t feel I am being my true self 💯 then I am ok with being alone. Me. Myself. And I. My kids. My life. It’s not the same when you’re really not living or just settling!
Are you living? Are you settling?
