There were a lot of little triggers that made me realize that life is now; life is happening while we're preoccupied with stupidities. Of course, growing. Of course, becoming a mother and understanding life from another perspective.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Becoming a mother was the single defining event of my life. It felt like the whole world shifted.
My entire life changed when I became a mother - my priorities, my understanding, appreciation of life, and my relationship with God.
From 19 to 28 there was a lot of turmoil in my life, but in a stuck way. Then, around 28, my life started to get shaken up. I realized I wanted to grow more and that anything that wasn't working in my life, I could fix it. I feel like I came into my womanhood. And that was when I got married.
When I turned 30, I realized how ignorant I really was. I always thought I had a very accomplished life.
The moment that changed me for ever was the moment my first child was born. I was happy, filled with hope, and thought, 'Now I understand the whole point of work, of life, of love.'
Becoming a mom forced me to re-prioritize and make room for the things that are most important, while recognizing that there are things I can let go of, and the world won't crumble around me.
When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.
But when I really look back on my life, being really honest about it and now that I've got the chance to travel the world, seeing how a lot of little kids grow up - my life wasn't so bad.
Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life.
Somehow I got the feeling at an early age that I had to do something important with my life.
