Before I realized what I was missing, I'd always say, "I want to write, if I get the time..." and then it's 10 p.m. and I'm exhausted with no urge to get up to the computer. I have set aside time to write now, over other chores, or other things. This has allowed me to fill that void. I feel better about myself and I know I will reach my goals and dreams that much faster i .if I continue. . - . Dreams- take ,work. Dreams take dedication. Dreams take goals and time. We have to make the choice on whether we do everything we can to follow that dream or let it die. 1 I wasn't ready to let mine die. I will never be ready for it to die. If it takes my whole life to get one thing published, so be it. That one thing will blow everyone's minds, including mine. I am so grateful for dreams. I am grateful for the by Marissa Moncayo Dreams are easy to give upon. Life has a way of taking you away from the path you always desired to go. It can be easy to get caught up and miss opportunities. It is easy to put off working towards a dream when there are so many other things calling for our attention and time. After having a baby there never seems to be enough time. Some days it can get overwhelming . thinking .of., everything that has to get done. Other days I find myself so tired that I do not want to do anything. It is extremely hard to find time for yourself. I love being a mother. I have enjoyed every second of it. I have never felt more joy. I see the world in a new light as my daughter discovers things for the first time. It reminds me of the excitement that can be found in small things and reminds me to see the world through a bright lens instead of a dull, redundant one. Although, this is all true I felt as though something was missing. A part of me was sad and cried out that there was a void. I finally realized what it was. I had always been a dreamer, still am. I have always believed that I would follow my dreams to become an author and nothing was going to stop me. Since being pregnant, I haven't been writing as much. Since having a baby, I haven't written hardly at all. I realized I was missing this part of me. I could do all the chores . around the house, take care of the baby, accomplish so much, and yet without writing, I wasn't fully complete. A lot of people have said that its okay and I will have time to write when she's older. The problem with that is I will have more and the wait would grow and grow. Yes, being a mother means sacrificing. It also doesn't entail that you should give up all things that mattered to you . .unique,, .qualities , that, , make . us eaph who we are.,;-; I, .am grateful for my daughter who has inspired me and motivated me in many ways. I am grateful for a husband who believes in my dreams, even more than I do at times. I am grateful for all the support I have from family and friends who push me and remind me of what I can accomplish if I stick to it. Life is meant to be enjoyed, meant to be for reaching high and soaring. Life is about dreaming. |
