Raw and Honest Blog of a New Single Mom

I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

Channeling my Energy

Posted on | March 10, 2009 | 3 Comments

So after my angry guy rant post I decided that the last thing I need is to allow myself to feel like this way any longer. To be pissed, to be hurt, to be resentful, to be despondent. It seems to be a full circle that never ends because I allow things to be that way. Though I keep telling myself that I want a new life, a fresh start I have yet to walk the walk. I’ve realized that now it’s time.

All that anger I was feeling towards Thumper and myself last night has magically vanished in a quick snap. How? I have decided to channel that anger towards something worthwhile: starting over. And that task is more stressful and takes much more of my energy than any relationship drama.

First thing on my list? Redecorating my apartment. I hate the way it looks now. It now bores me and reminds me too much of my old life as a pink-loving single woman. As it looks now it reminds me of the not so great things happened here. Be gone. Out with the old life, in with the new life.

Yuck. I’m basically getting rid of everything you see there and turning it into a whole new colorful, contemporary and more sophisticated pad. Lots of bright, vibrant colors that won’t only represent me, but will be welcoming to the new man in my life. This is very exciting for me because I get a chance to let my creative juices flow and turn my apartment into a canvas again! The inner artist in my is rejoicing. ;)

I have so many ideas and I can’t wait until all is complete and I can share my finished product with the world.

    I’ve just started following your blog — I have a lot of catching up to do — and I can’t wait to see the changes to your place!

    I’m a single mom to an almost 1-year-old, and I’m also young (22). Baby daddy is in the military and couldn’t be around even if he wanted to (and I’m not even sure how badly he’d want to be around anyway), so I am here for support if you need me!
