I want to love myself, before I was pregnant, while I was pregnant, and now after being pregnant not only for myself but for Bug, too

She deserves a mom who isn’t measuring her self worth against that last roll of fat that will not budge off of her stomach (seriously, why the hell is that thing still sticking around), and who will bake (and eat) cookies with her on a cold winter’s day.

I’m not necessarily the same person that I was when I was 18 and I want my content and image to reflect that

Keywords: {0}

University felt a bit like a transitional period from teenager to adult and now I feel like I have nothing to hide behind now even though I still don’t want to be an adult. I was having so many existential crises over where I should be living and working whilst actively trying to avoid making a decision about any long-term plans. I contemplated moving to Glasgow, switching jobs, taking online courses and started looking at masters programmes because without the student lifestyle, I lost my way quite a bit. However, it’s evident from talking to me or reading my dissertation, that Edinburgh is a huge part of my identity and giving it up by moving away wasn’t going to be the cure that I thought it would be. Instead, I moved to a different part of the city, the West End, switched to a full-time role at my job and started taking myself out on dates again.

I want to associate with people that live with purpose — that have passions and pursuits

What do you do for work? is one of the most common questions asked when meeting someone for the first time – whether that be at a networking event, a first date, or at a party. We then proceed to judge someone and categorize them based on our perceptions or preconceived notions of said career. I personally find this question a challenge to navigate. I do many things for work – some paid, some not paid – but one commonality across all of them is that I am none of them.

I am pretty stoked with what I came up with and proud

Keywords: boundaries , courage , growth , learning lessons , lifelessons , strength

I realize I wasn’t giving myself much credit at the little things I have started to implement over the years. I will be honest, I still struggle a lot with this list, especially at work, but having it down on paper (or computer), tells my mind and body that I am doing pretty well for myself. I am not as lost as I think I might be and with this start, I am only going to grow and feel more confident in my decisions and my skin and that is my ultimate goal.

I can’t tell how I am viewed or regarded as a person — Only how I want to be regarded

Keywords: existentialism , intp , personality , relationships , self-image

How I want to be as a person, even if it’s not always possible for me to reach those goals in one sitting or by any preconceived logic. It takes time and endurance and patience – with the small possibility of it never happening roaming in the back of my mind.

I wanted to do everything not to pass this on to them

Keywords: childcare

I wanted them to love their own bodies and appreciate all the beauty in others. I’m talking about their bodies not just for what they look like, but for what they can do. I am not telling them that they cannot wear certain clothes even if they are not flattering. Because I’ve read all the stuff that says it’s not what we say as mothers but what we do, I also vowed never to denigrate my body in front of them, not even mics – assaults like mumbling an outfit makes me look fat, or that I “really shouldn’t be eating anything”.

I’ve realized that I desire love, but I want to control it

Keywords: blogs , connection , dating , emotions , feelings , life , lifestyle , love , pain , romance , self awareness , self improvement , trauma , validation , vulnerable

My emotional unavailability is due to me feeling like I have to control how relationships play out. It took me a while to realize that I was seeking validation from the connection more than anything.
