I am a single mom. I became a single mom on November 5th, 2014, on my 26th Birthday which was approximately a month and 22 days after my daughter was born. How did I become a single mom?

This question is the purpose of the blog. I would be sharing my story. I am currently dating, with the hopes of being in a committed relationship that’ll eventually lead to marriage. We can all agree that dating is a little intimidating; however, as a single mom, it is daunting. The idea of putting your best self forward, being vulnerable with a stranger and possibly being judged is almost the norm. Need I forget to mention the stigma, rejection, the “Oh, this one’s got baggage”, even friends subconsciously shaming you.

For this reason, I would be journaling my previous and current dating experiences in the life of a single mom. The past seven plus years of my life has been life changing, inspiring, nerve racking, tearful, filled with laughter, and the list goes on; however, giving up has never been an option. My daughter has always been a driving force for me to keep pushing and I am grateful for that!

Writing is therapeutic for me. It helps me put my thoughts into words, it’s an outlet for handling though times. Through my stories, I hope I can inspire a single mom/dad who fears facing the difficulties of life with their innocent children. Always remember, you never realize how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have!
