This is still my favorite place in the house.

I am content.

Something changed inside of me the moment I decided to be more mindful in how I lived my life. I decided to be more mindful with my words and interactions. I always knew what I did not want to be, how I did not want to raise the boy, and how I did not want to feel.

I am thankful to myself for being thoughtful in decisions that have brought me to where I am today. I am thankful for taking responsibility in my own actions. I am thankful to have a partner who is just as eager to grow as I am.

Everyday I’m learning. Still growing. I find that’s the beauty in the life we are living. Mistakes can be forgiven with time. Understanding each other is all we can do.

I want to be open and transparent.
