ABOUT
This is What We're Here For.
This is the question I'm asking myself here.
Since becoming a mother four years ago, and I'm sure a lot of other mums can attest to this;
I don't know who I am anymore.
At the roots I know my core values. I know I am strong and passionate. I know I'm authentically myself and I pride myself on being true in all aspects of my life, be it motherhood, friendships, relationships etc.. but I have lived a good 32 years on this earth and failed to find a reason, or a purpose if you will. Perhaps I can just exist and be this very person, exactly the way I am- and it be enough. Perhaps the darkness will consume me and I never had the chance to speak. Or perhaps I will overcome all life's little challenges and have some positive lessons to share with you?
And then I wonder; what if I died and my children didn't get to know any parts of my life?
I want to share some of my thoughts with whoever wants to read it. I want to show you all the unmasked version of myself.
I am hoping that while I sit here and reflect on all these years I have spent behind a mask in fear that you won’t like me, I can turn over all the little stones to reveal the true me. Someone you can get to know and hopefully like without me trying to be the person I think you will like.
Hopefully, I will remember who I am or once was. I will find a feeling of contempt and accomplishment and thus find some "happy".
For me. For you. For my Children.
On this journey of self discovery, I will share with you some of my deepest thoughts and experiences along with lessons learned, questions to ponder and just some everyday stories that I have taken the time to unfold in this journal.
Come with me as I type my way through this mess.
I ask that you keep an open mind and soft heart as you emerse yourself in my journey- try not to judge, for this is my life and my own personal experiences that I am choosing to share and be it beautiful or ugly, it is real.
For me. For you. For my Children.
Love, Trina x
