Wife. Mother. WOMAN.

I find myself in a new place in which I have only dreamed I would be one day. I am no longer jealous; I have discovered I am exactly as I need to be and there is no point in comparing myself with anyone else. I lift up other women who once inspired a sense of lacking within me: women with their own businesses, women who are engaged, women with babies, women who are beautiful. They who are happy and seem to have it all.
Through hard work, growth and the long process of opening my heart I have become one of those women, and I have most importantly become a Woman in my own sense.
I am not happy because of any possessions I own, nor because I seem to have gotten everything I want. I am happy because I have realized I want everything that I have. I have also healed in such a way that only time marked in years could fit the place of my scars.
I am so happy being a wife to a wonderful husband who might as well be punching in and taking breaks to the sound of a steam whistle in hell, just to support his family.
I am so happy being a mother to the most beautiful child I could have dreamed of growing and birthing and feeding with my own body.
I am most happy being the kind of woman who is happy with herself and thus every gift she has been given. I am a woman of my own faith and I am to be loved.

I am happy. I am finally a Woman.
