I told myself at the beginning of the year I'd make more time for myself. I wouldn’t say that I’ve completely mastered this
just yet but hey I’m trying. I often look at other mothers my age usually
through dreaded social media and wonder how in the heck they live the way they
do. Vacations here, shopping there, new this, new that etc. Before you even say it…I already know people only post on social media
what they want the world to know. I’ve sat down and thought to myself like ummm
sis, what are you doing wrong?
I’d love nothing more than to take a trip to Jamaica. That’s
always been my dream vacation spot. When I look at the bank account it says boo
drive down to Folly Beach and let your wig blow in the wind. I’d one day like
to take my son to Disney. I know people that's gone like 3-4 times already at
his age! Reality is, we have a better chance getting to Disney then me spending
money on myself to get to Jamaica.
I could make up a thousand reasons why now isn’t the right time
to do anything outside of my comfort zone. While I’d like to blame it on the
funds, deep down that’s not the issue. It’s the fact that I’m so stuck in my
daily routine of working, paying bills, extra-curricular activities with my son,
and doing what I can to provide a comfortable life for us it’s a little hard
right now to see past that. The last thing I want to do is get stuck in a rut
of struggling. My son and I are worth that and more. Mama’s gonna make it happen
one way or another and it starts with stepping outside my comfort zone.
