Change in Priority

I'm not sure if what I am feeling is normal ... I feel like my life and my cares have changed so much. As much as I hate to admit it, I used to care a lot about what people thought of me; I would do my best to "fit in" and I think for most of my life I didn't really know who I was.

In the past couple of months, certain people in my life have become very critical of me; complaining about how I am, how I react to things, or just making accusations or assumptions about me. In the past, I would have focused on every criticism and would have tried to change myself. Now though, I just don't care.

I like who I am. I know I'm not perfect, but I'm proud of the person I am. When people put me down or continue to criticize me, I lose interest in that relationship and unlike the past I don't put much effort into changing myself to make someone else happy. In times like these I just focus on the role model I want to be for Liam. He's what's most important to me and as long as I can teach him how to be a good person than that's enough for me.

So much is going on in my life right now ... I have no idea what this next year will bring for us or where we'll even be. That's why you have to enjoy each day and not waste time on what others think of you. Live for the happiness in life : ) 

I didn't know what happiness was until I became a mom <3
