I’m giving up my life as I know it to find peace…

To clear my mind, renew my heart, and cleanse my soul so that I can welcome the very best version of myself. 
The past (almost) 2 years of my life has been rough. Emotionally, physically and mentally new and taxing. The old me is gone and honestly I didn’t realize how much of yourself you shed in motherhood. It’s more than just a title its literally your entire makeup that transforms…I don’t know who I am anymore other than what I’ve been…a mother. 

So I’m releasing, I’m letting go the fear, the mindset that constantly searching and grabbing at straws, the anxiousness, the self doubt, the depression, I am letting it go because I’m tired.

I think its important to tell myself that the move I’m making, the decisions I’ve set on are not a result of failing, or achieving nothing, my decision is a result of finally and wholeheartedly putting myself and my son first. It is the result for putting my mental needs before my physical comfort. It is a result of finally doing what I know in my core is right. Ive allowed myself to struggle in ways that were detrimental all for the convenience of others, for them to have access and comfort. 

So I’m releasing, I’m starting over and I know with consistent prayer, determination and focus MY LIFE WILL LOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN 3 MONTHS (I’m proclaiming it because honestly a bitch don’t gat time lol)

Apology

 Years ago I use to seek apologies from the people that hurt me. I use to fight tooth and nail for some glimpse of acknowledgment, some spark of regret that stemmed from the pain they caused. I use to explain over and over and over why I feel the way that I do. I use to think satisfaction came attached to a “Sorry” until I realized that the apology was never for me. The other day you told me sorry…but that wasn’t for me. That was for you, somehow someway you feel that if you apologized to me it’ll make you a better person. That somehow someway you saying sorry would lessen the blow of all the hurtful things you did to me in confidence. For you, sorry was to ease your conscience. You knew that it would be meaningless to me because the depth in which you hurt me would never be outweighed by an apology.  That sorry was for you. And if it’s one thing I’ve learned in this life is that I don’t need apologies, acknowledgments or closure to move on. So no, I don’t accept your apology....

Breastfeeding

 I’ve spent the last 13 months with my little one latched on to me.  Recently breastfeeding started to feel demanding. Which was strange for me considering I just always thought it was my duty/privilege. It was an internal battle of wanting my body back and my body not being able to keep up. So I started exclusively feeding at night.  After about two months of this my well rain dry. It was sudden and unexpected. I thought I had more time…or maybe more control? Anyway we woke up for our usual 3am feeding and it was difficult. No one talks about the overwhelming sadness you and your little share at the end of such a nurturing journey. Or the how heart wrenching it is watching your little one be confused about why they no longer can receive that same comfort from your body. No one talks about how for a split second when your body stops or doesn’t do what you feel it ‘naturally should” you feel unfit, misplaced and perplexed.  Our transition to formula went smoother than...
