single motherhood

"Never getting married would not be a life regret for me. Not trying to have my own child would be."
There's no doubt that becoming or being a single mom in your 20s can be intimidating, terrifying, and make you feel like less of the "normal" family/parenting unit, but, that being said, it's one of the most rewarding, remarkable journeys a person can embark on. Raising one munchkin solo can have it's perks, and here are a handful of them...
It isn't structure or size that makes a family, it's love.
Most mamas have their personal Ken doll and second babies on the way, and I'm over here in my beach shack with Tanner, trying to eat clean(ish) and working on my abs to stay a babe, ya know, since I'm single now.
"We are strong. We are resilient. But we are also vulnerable."
Some days I'm ok. Some days I'm great, and some days I'm miserable. That's just how it goes. I've accepted that.
Before life's unexpected twists left me staring down the barrel of single motherhood, I had never wanted children.
