    Im 34 year old single mom with 2 daughters, 9 and 3. I have alot of regrets. One is not living my best life LIVING ALONE prior to kids and relationships. Its harder after and most never make it back to themselves. I watch your channel to live vicariously through you! You’re doing well Sis! I promise!❤

      WOW. this touched me so much. it feels so amazing to hear form women that are older than me and can affirm that I'm not doing too bad. sometimes i get a little lost in the sauce, but these little reminders put it all in perspective-THANK YOU!! i am sending you soooo much love and light on your journey. i pray that you find joy and peace in what life is currently offering you. i pray that you find subtle ways in your days to come home to yourself. you deserve it. 💗

      I’m 35 and I can agree with Nikki 100%. I was the oldest and set to be the one to look up to by all the siblings and grandkids. I did things by the book and let’s just say, I am separated, will be divorced soon, a single mom to a 7 year old and honestly I’m at peace. I wish I took my time instead of living my life to think being married with kids by a certain age is the end all be all and it’s not the move. At least not for me. Lol I’m starting over and I’m okay with that. 😊

I’m currently in the process of leaving an almost eight year long relationship and soon I’ll be living alone for the first time in my life which is terrifying but seeing things like this makes me feel comfortable in knowing that things do get better and being alone and happy is possible. Keep doing amazing things gorgeous girl we’re all rooting for you 🖤
