More than "just" a mother

she was over taking pictures


I've found myself with my hands in too many pies.

Being a mom, wife, writing groups, playing piano, Mary Kay, trying to go to the gym etc.

Every so often (more than I care to admit) I find myself in a funky mood. I feel a deep pain of "I need to be doing something more with my life." 

Everybody tells me "you are doing something- you're a mother"

Yes,  but I strongly believe there's more to my life than just being a mother. 

I want to change someones life. I want to be an example for someone. I want to inspire people. I want to do something that's bigger than myself. I want to be someone who people want to be around.

When I got married, a lot of my friends decided that since I was married, I didn't want friends let alone need friends. That's the reason you marry your best friend, right?? 

No.

Then when I had Scarlett, I pretty much could count the people, I spent my time with, on one hand. 

I became very moody (still working on it) and I have noticed I'm not this happy go lucky. fun girl anymore. I am actually annoyed with myself. I wouldn't want to be my friend either. 

I know there's more to my life than watching Dora the Explorer and dirty diapers (even though I pride myself on singing along with her catchy tunes). 

I want to meet new people who share my same goals, my personality, and my inner extroversion.  

My biggest regret in life would be to not do something incredible with the life I have. 

You're more than what people stereotype you as. You're not "just" a mother or whatever you are in daily life.

People are more than what they personify.

I'm not hating on mothers because I know we have superpowers (eyes on the back of my head), and being a mother brings me immense joy and I definitely don't take my daughter for granted, I'm just saying that the role you posses doesn't have to handicap you from being something more (if that's what you choose).

I have a lot of ideas of what I want to do (especially having a brand- that would be freaking fantastic), but I wouldn't even know where to start.
