I'm cosigning with the other single moms. I had my daughter at 21. It was a struggle b/c I was commuting to school full time, working part time, and decided to become a Zeta. Its also lonely b/c you cant just up and go hang with your girls or just be lazy for no reason. I wouldnt trade my daughter for anything, though.
Society needs to STFU. Being a wife or a mother doesnt make you any better of a woman than those who aren't.
Re: husband hunting. I knew my child's father was not meant to be my husband. I thought that my ex was.. that turned out to be false also. At this point last year, I was a mess. I was depressed b/c that relationship was faltering. After we ended it (nastily), I sat down and cried for a WEEK. I spent New Year's at home, crying, with my daughter trying to cheer me up. On January 5, I sat down, opened my heart and
PRAYED. I prayed for more patience, more understanding, more strength and more love. A month and a half later, I met my current boyfriend. By April, we were serious. I met his family on Thanksgiving. Being with him has required more patience, understanding, strength and love than I ever knew I had. We argue. We fuss. We've gone three days without speaking to each other. But this relationship has done a lot for me. It's brought be back to the church. Its stregthened my ideas of what I will
NOT tolerate in a man. Its shown me that I am worthy of unconditional love.
I'm getting married ONCE. Period. I'd rather wait until I was 50, if need be, to get married to the man God sends for me, than get married tomorrow, and be divorced within 5 years.
GRITS: girl, get out and meet other people. Dont let this one man block your blessings. That is not fair to you. If it is meant to be, he will find his way to you.
Sorry if this sounds like I was rambling.
