When people think about motherhood they think about the things that people over the years say just to scare them; your life is over! you can’t follow your dreams because your main focus is your child. well I am writing this short article to put these rumors and put downs to a stop!
YOUR LIFE IS OVER! : This is the first rumor that needs to be put to rest. being a mom does not mean that your life is over, it’s simply a new adventure in your life. Yes you might have to take a break from some of your normal life activities but you still will have time for doing the things you like but you will also get to experience new things you love to do like caring for and nurturing someone who will depend on you but grow to love you more than anyone else has or ever will.
YOU CAN’T FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS: Even though you have a child you can continue to follow all of your dreams and achieve your goals if anything that will make you more likely to adapt to any type of change or environment. Fantasia from american idol had a child before she got famous and she continued to follow her dream and look at where it got her. some of the most successful people have children and it made them strive even harder just so their children can believe they can do anything they put their mind to. so please continue to dream and continue to chase your dreams
A NEW LOVE: I feel like the best part of being a mother is the level of love you will have for your child and the amount of love your child will have for you. from the moment your child is in your belly you grow a special bond with him or her and you will be anxious to meet your little bundle of joy! it’s definitely worth it. The moment you get that tiny baby in your arms you will know that you have never loved anyone as much as him or her or never will (unless you have more children, then you will love them equally). This love is so power and infinite that you will go through hell and high water to make sure they are safe,happy and healthy and you will be satisfied just by a simple smile on their face.
I hope I gave you a few reasons why being a mom isn’t bad if this post did not change your views on motherhood then it might not be for everybody.but for those of you that felt like this post has helped you, I wish you the best on your journey through motherhood and may you stay happy.
