Life, when does the fun start? It's a question that many of us ask ourselves, God, or life itself.
With a mind full of urgent things that you "have" to do, comes a heart full of important things that you "want" to do. How many of us have a mental cart, bucket, or wish list of things that we want to do but just can't seem to get a chance?
Consider this situation: A young woman graduates from high school and starts college soon after. She grew up in a single parent home, being raised by her mother.
Freshman year is exciting! The icebreakers, the parties, the freedom, and the boys! Ah yes, the boys. She starts seeing a fellow male college student and ends up getting pregnant. Because of the situation, she decides that it is best that she drop to part time classes so she can work and take care of her child. The boyfriend bails and she is forced to raise a baby on her own.
In less than 1 year, she goes from being a young woman with her whole life ahead of her, to being a single mother, father, and head of her household. Fast forward a couple of years, and the roles mentioned earlier start to take a toll. She feels that with all the roles and responsibilities that she has missed her chance. The critical time period before being a mother, stand-in father, provider, protector and head of household. The time of discovery where you have the chance to just be a woman.
Now this is not to condone the mothers who leave their kids with whoever so they can go to the club every weekend.
But everyone needs a break. Whether it's a day or an hour where you can put your roles and your armor down and just be and do "you".
I encourage women to make smart life decisions and no matter what season of life you are in, take a chance, a chance to be a woman.
