A few months before my 30th birthday I had a huge dip in my life. You know that morning you wake up and you realize you've been miserable for such a long time it has become a way of life?
I fell into a pit of depression to the extend that I forgot I've got duties as a mom, and that my baby deserves my love & attention- I gave her none.
I was on my phone every evening&the worst part is (excluding the neglect of my child) that I have nothing to show for that time lost. Nothing productive. Nothing.
I started seeing a psychologist, whom helped me tremendously, to sort out my life, what I want for my future, and how to climb out of this pit I got lost in.
It's a serious wake-up call when you realize you are in the prime of your life with so much productive time left and you are doing nothing, you are living like a retired person...
I am blessed with good health, a steady job, and a beautiful & smart little girl whom is actually so well-behaved but just wants her mommy's time.
So with help I started sorting out my life, getting rid of all the negative influences, remembering the bright-eyed girl I was at 18 with so many dreams, of which I achieved nothing.
I started making lists of what I need to do, what my dreams are, what I want to achieve.
I'm working on it. I haven't accomplished anything yet, but I have new motivation to try & I have my belief in God that I can achieve it when the time is right.
I started going to Church again, and I've found my place. I know what I have to do with my life & I know I want to be an example to my daughter, someone for her to look up to.

Intro
Hi there
I'm a single mom to a 3.5 year old little girl and have been working since she was 1 month old. Jip, only 4 weeks of Maternity leave!🙈 Times were tough and lean, working hours were ridiculous, but through the Grace of God I managed to breastfeed her until she was 22 months old.
She was scheduled for a C-Section (yes, I seriously wanted my pregnancy to end), but then decided she was ready and ended up being a normal birth (with an epidural- labour pains are not for sissies!!)
I'm a full time employee & mommy, while trying to balance a very challenging job with being a mom,care-giver,tutor,chef-the list is endless!
Some days I feel like the biggest failure, nothing gets done, baby is clinging, my hair in an (uncombed) mom-bun, other days I'm on top of the world!
Through it all I do my best to trust in God's plan, and in His time, even though it all gets so overwhelming! I was raised a Christian and I have always believed, but this year I gave my heart to Jesus and I've been doing my best to leave it all in His Hands
