I need to touch base on a big part of the inception of this blog. Since I was 13 years old I've been "in love" with a boy. For some reason I adopted this notion in my head that I am no one without a guy in my life.
When one boyfriend got tired of it I would move on to the next as fast as I could. I would fall so fast and so deep. When these relationships ended I was devastated. It was as if my life was ending and to a point it would as I knew it. I would invest all my time in these boys.
It's taken me this long to learn that I don't even know who I am . How is a man supposed to love me for everything I am when I don't even know what or who I am? If I don't myself? I have no idea. I know now that I have to learn to be independent and love myself and my life before I can live happily ever after.
This is my attempt at a year of independence, a year of being the best mom I can be, a year devoted to no man but Bentley. You, as my readers will act as my support system in a way. I can't give up and let you down, even if I have only one follower (I know my mom will be a devoted fan).
I hope you enjoy my blog and my 365 days of adventure to find the new me. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great thing you are doing! You and I are a lot a like... I've also been "in love" with someone since 13. I jumped from boyfriend to boyfriend and made my bf my life. I'm glad you are doing this, you are ahead of the game! There are so many grown women who still don't get it. Good luck girl! And I will be stalking you to hold you to this! Lol I vowed myself to be single for a year too...it's been 10 months! So if I can do it so can you :) I love you!
ReplyDeleteyay! I'm so glad we have so much in common and you can be my mentor! It's good to hear someone else is doing the same thing and succeeding! I get scared and wonder if I'm going to be able to keep it up, but that's a lot of the reason for this blog, so people can help and I don't let them down! Thanks for your support!!! Love you too!
ReplyDeleteYes we do have a lot in common! It's been hard staying single and I've been tempted a few times, but at the end of the day I would realize it's not worth it. I always fall in love with alllll the wrong ppl haha. It must be a curse lol. I dont know if you have already done this, but if you havent you should make a little check list of qualities you would want out of a bf/husband. That way you know what you want and it will make it harder for you to settle for some jerk lol. You should never settle or lower your standards, because some day you will meet the perfect man you deserve!
