I promised Sarah I'd do this like four days ago... I guess that goes to show what kind of friend I am! :(
Single Mom. The words define me. In fact, I rarely call myself a mom, I call myself a single mom. I honestly can't tell you how many times a day I utter those words, "it comes with the territory... I'm a single mom, that's what happens when you're a single mom, after all... I'm a single mom." I wonder what that says about me. Do I define myself by how society sees me? Do I allow myself to fall under a stereotype? Or is that just a fact? Well, I know it's a fact, but is it nothing more nothing less?
This weekend I went and met my friends girlfriend who was in town. She's a nice girl, and I hope they are happy together. It angered me a little after meeting her... that I'm "not good enough" because I'M A SINGLE MOM... but it also made me feel better about the situation. If that's what he wants, bully for him. Obviously I can do better. I just wonder how long it's going to take me! Lol
Oh yeah, I also spent a lot of time with a guy last week... but nothings going to happen. He's really nice, decent looking... but there is no spark. I need the spark.

My OkCupid profile actually has a love letter to single moms on it. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteI think the single Mom thing is just a fact - I think it concerns you more than society! You are a great Mom, and thats the best you can do for Daphne!
