Sacrifices
There are days where I just sit down and think. Life requires a lot of sacrifices. Sometimes we fantasize about a world with less responsibility. Of course it would be ideal but things just doesn’t work in that fashion. Can I speak on the real sacrifice of being a single mom. Lack of time to take care of yourself. There are days I hide in the bathroom just for a break. It isn’t easy not having a chance to breathe. Time to myself would be amazing but mom duties calls. Giving majority of my time to little human beings can be exhausting. They will grow up to become amazing people. All of my hard work pays off. Let’s speak on the sadness sometimes. Not being able to cry in peace, wanting to lay in bed some days and never getting up. I’ve dealt with depression 10 plus years and sometimes it comes back knocking on my door. Simply getting up to cook would cause me to feel sick inside. This is the side of motherhood that never gets talked about. Days were I feel life just doesn’t have purpose. Same routine over and over can become boring. For the women that are tired and feeling unfulfilled. I understand how you feel and once felt that way. I know as women we have to make a lot of sacrifices but one day things will be better. I’m not ashamed to say there were days I wished for a better life. Asking why did I create this type of life.....

What makes us afraid
Fear is like a door that tugs onto our cloth which prevents us to leave or pass through.It is always there like a voice in our head telling us things that am pretty sure are illusions. That's how powerful the human mind is,it can create and destroy. It can form scenarios,events,pictures that can be true or untrue.

Pride and Shame
I was watching The office in the past few weeks and depression caught up to me. I’m sure going to put out a long writing about false hope in order to fulfil my two weeks per writing goal that I put for myself. You see... I’m writing constantly and it’s frustrating to delete all the hard work I did in that two weeks. And mostly, I’ll feel unsatisfied and just discard it into the draft pile. In with the weird stories.

Thoughts from 2017
Today I realised I deserve better. The past 6 months have been a roller coaster of emotion, it’s overwhelming. What they say about life, being it perfect today and falling apart the next day is very true. You can have everything today but lose everything tomorrow. Lesson learnt? Live in the present and cherish every moment.

CREATE A SCHEDULE FOR YOUR DAY When you go to work every day you normally have a specific amount of time you spend at the office. This schedule should not change even though you’re working from home no matter if it’s job searching or of it’s a regular job.
