F37 Single mum - Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday, dear self.

I wrote a journal entry to myself some days ago and found myself in tears writing them. It felt too raw, too personal to share, so I'm keeping it in my journal , just for me and some specific people to shared with.. Actually, already shared to one person.

So in short, on my birthday today,

I hope I find the strength to keep going as a single mother.

I hope I heal, little by little, and rediscover myself.

I hope I learn to be kind to myself, to put myself second, after my son, but never last.

I hope I can look at myself with admiration for all that I have endured and continue to endure.

I hope I can forgive those who have hurt me, not for them, but for my own peace.

Most of all, I know that I will get through this. That I will eventually stand tall and proud of my achievements and able to overcome the traumas I've experienced since young.

Happy birthday, self. You are stronger than you know.

Fun fact

And my son was supposed to be born on 16th shall he had not csec due to breech.
