Take 3 things you love doing and make time for it. Or show the world what you do. If you sew,post some of your finished products on Facebook. Make your mom or sister a home made gift for Christmas. Thanksgiving is around the corner,make some place mats for the table. Be proud!
For me: 1. Photography. 2.Reading. 3.Cooking.
Your identity never leaves you. No matter if its parents who try to change you. No matter if its a spouse. No matter if its friends who try to influence. Do not let anyone take that from you.
Now for me. I know lately that once I am through the rough times, I am beginning to be more myself. I am happy where I am. I worry. I live with a disorder that makes life hell but I am happy.
I am going through a divorce and I have not once shed a tear. I have not feared for my kids, I have not been upset for them...my kids are me....I am tough so are they. I am stongwilled. So are they. They know,about their father and they know things have changed. They are happy. I am proud of myself for not making my ex the enemy no matter how much hes done wrong. I am proud of myself for not harassing him for child support. I am proud that I stuck through it all to be the best mom I can be. I am proud to be me and to make the choices I know is the right ones. I listen to people but in the end I think with my own brain. Common sense.
People forget to think for themselves. They forget how to do research. They forget that times have changed but look at how things were successful back in the day. Etc. The best thing for yourself is to be educated,have common sense,to think for yourself. Do not let a doctor tell you nothing is wrong. Do not let a teacher ignore you about your child. Do not let your gut be ignored. Consider,ponder...but in the end make a decision you feel comfortable with and that is made up by you and only you.
