I was afraid when I started the journey of motherhood. For most of my life, my family made me feel like a failure, as if I could never do anything right. But motherhood showed me the truth: Iโ€™m not a failure. I just chose to do things differently from what they believed was โ€œright.โ€ And because of that, my daughter now has the freedom to be her truest self. I refuse to let the same toxic patterns that shaped me poison her. The cycle ended with me.

I was afraid when I decided to move back to Georgia as a single woman. Thank God I did so that I could meet some beautiful (inside and out) women such as yourself. Thank you for doing it afraid and sharing your experience with us. ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท

Fear can make us feel like we're the only one going through it, when in fact we aren't alone. I'm so grateful to have you for a friend.
