Being a mother is a journey that’s long and neverending. It’s a journey that takes you through trial and error, mistakes and heartbreaks, it’s not easy. Being a mother has helped me to heal and soothe my innerchild. I have spent most of my time as a mother trying to fix my traumas from the past.

I have learnt to forgive my parents for their mistakes in my upbringing through my mistakes in my children’s upbringing. Being a parent is never an easy job. I want what’s best for my children and sometimes I put myself through things that are impossible to attain. Life doesn’t always go as planned, my children will make choices and take paths that are not what I as a mother would want for them. Just as I made choices and mistakes so will my children. I have learned to love my children no matter what. I support them when they need encouragement and I tell how I feel without forgetting that it is always best to be upfront and sincere without being overbearing.

Not everyone will have the possibility to know how hard it is to be a mother. Not everyone will know what it feels like to love someone unconditionally. A mother’s love is rare and like no other. Loving my children is me loving myself. My children are a part of me from the moment I decided to give them life. There’s no love like a mother’s love.
