Her-Story

 New Beginnings 

Hey Y'all

What's your story? Everyone has one. What happened that drives you to keep going every single day? At first I thought my story meant me becoming a mom because my daughter is my driving force. Of course she would be, I tell myself all the time that "if it wasn't for my daughter I wouldn't, I  couldn't" etc... Even though there is much truth in that statement it's false. 

My story began the day the doctor said "It's a girl" and handed me to my mommy. That was when everyone story began. Let me explain... before I am a mother, a daughter, sister, cousin, niece, friend, aunt etc I am a individual. I am a person God placed on earth with a purpose and a mission. When I drop all of the titles that life has added to my name I am just Charlotte and Charlotte has a story to tell. 

Charlotte is goofy, she desires to be loved, she loves to write, she has desires to own multiple businesses, she wants to become a entrepreneur, she is her own person. Most people get so caught up in upholding the title that we were giving that we forget about the person God called us to be. One thing I had to learn was sometimes it's okay to set boundaries. It is okay to take time for you. It is okay to not be okay all the time. As humans we tend to worry so much about being the best whatever to whoever and we push ourselves to the breaking point literally! 

Serious thought, when it's your time to go what will people say about you? As of yesterday, I know people would as I am funny, I am a great mom, I am super nice, I am always helping out , I am always there when people need me, I got everybody's back.... Sounds good right? Yeah for other people but what did I mention that I did for me? As of today I want to be remembered as someone who traveled, someone who took trips, someone that enjoyed life and not just surviving. Of course I want to also be remembered as someone who has helped others but that is not all that I want to be remembered as.
