Everyday I wake up I get to be the mother and woman for my daughters, I wanted so badly for my own mom to be for me. Now that there are four little eyes looking at me and what I do. Life somehow has so much more meaning. Now I know continuing to be the best version isn’t and shouldn’t always be the goal just because pressure makes diamonds. But the things we learn to overcome makes us so much stronger. I so badly would like for my daughters to be able to find a mid point between having to struggle with everything and learning how to live without always seeking survival at every turn.

Some days as I make my way through my daily routines of work and family. I have to step back for a moment to be grateful for all that I have worked towards. It didn’t always look or feel like this, it wasn’t always as easy as it appears now. Life is what you make it by how hard your willing to work to get what you want. The blood sweat and tears that it truly takes to build something worthy is just part of the journey.
