When I was younger, I’ve never imagined myself being anything other than being like a girl. I also never considered that being a girl was anything good or bad. I was what I was and that was all. The point simply never crossed my mind. Now that I am a mom, I consider it like a chance to be a woman! Now I realize all the good of it. I think, in being a mom, it is the very outcome of feminity.
Becoming a mom brings you to meet yourself. You discover sides of yourself you didn’t know, your points of view are not the same in many fields, such as priorities…
As a mom, you have feelings no one else but a mom can have, you experience unique moments only moms can experience, you understand things only moms can understand.
One day I asked myself how my life would look like if I wasn’t a mom. I can’t help thinking that it would be tasteless, empty, without the words of my kids, their smiles, their laughs, their cryings, their anger, their tantrums, their stupidity, their love.
Sometimes I wonder what would my thoughts have been like, if I wasn’t a mom, since becoming a mom, most of them are mom-related most of the time! What would I fullfill my thoughts of ?
If I wasn’t a mom, would I enjoy my life like I do ?
At the moment I am writing this, I am in my office, some 5 kms away from my home. Just before arriving, I was extremely annoyed, not knowing what to do about the multiple demands of each of my four children, ages range from fourteen months to nine years. Each one asking, crying, telling, shouting towards me at the same time, myself already in a big hurry not to be late at the office!
Sometimes in such moments, I tell myself that I would better to spend more time out of the home. I would be less tired and my children would be, too, because it’s when I’m around that they are too excited and capricious. But as soon as I’m a little away from that, I start missing all that. It sounds simple, but that’s the magic of being a mom.
