I just had to let this out since I have been judged a lot for not being the conventional woman that I "should be." My brain is programmed differently. I am not someone who would blend in the crowd and do what the society defined as a good lady, a wife or a mother.
My existence is not to enslave myself from these limiting beliefs that a woman should sacrifice her own happiness and dreams for the sake of others. Breaking out of this chain is not easy, to a point where it can be very painful. I am meant to do great things and I am fighting everyday to pursue my dreams... for my daughter.
I didn't want her to be laying down at night wondering what might have been, could have been or should have been if she pushed for her happiness. I wanted her to feel good about making her dreams come true, and still feel appreciated for doing so. I don't want her to feel the "mom guilt" because apparently, you are a bad mom when you look after yourself, before anyone else.
I wanted to change my destiny, every woman's destiny, so my daughter can unleash her highest potential without judgement.
If you are like me, who keeps on battling constant emotional blackmail because you wanted to achieve something, I wanted to let you know that you are not worthless.
You are brave, you are authentic, you are great and you deserve the best things life has to offer. You are here to thrive, not just survive, so do not dim that sparkle. Carry on, you are gorgeous like that! :)
