Mommy thoughts: "Having a child makes it hard to let my emotions unfold naturally. Always worried about what I'm teaching my child when the reality is, allowing my emotions to operate naturally won't do anything, but teach him how to have the best control of his." The Break: My point in sharing my struggles in parenthood… Continue reading It’s Challenging
Mommy thoughts: “While I feel I have a good grip on my emotional regulation & personal coping skills, I never fail to be reminded by dark spaces, why it’s so important to simply be a good person.”
There are many things involved with parenting that we don't take the time to think about on a regular basis because it comes so natural.

I really thought me and Desmond had gotten so lucky that we would be able to say, we couldn't relate to our kid dropping to the ground while kicking his feet and screaming.

Today I woke up not really knowing how I feel, but knowing that a cloud was over me. I tried getting out of bed before Aiden to find a sense of peace, I tried working out despite my mind telling me to climb back in bed & sleep or cry. I tried seeking reasons I… Continue reading Today is 6/4/2020
Funny how in the beginning of quarantine, I was in bliss with finding time to embrace solitude.
