I birthed Booboo three months before my 19th birthday. She is the best thing that ever happened to me.
I wouldn't wish being a young single parent on anyone, though.
It's not easy, it's socially awkward, and I often feel as if I am being judged from the moment I mention that I am a parent.
"YOU have a kid?" I hear often from people with exasperated facial expressions.
Yep. This girl is a mother, lip ring, poorly thought out tattoos and all.
I would tell you how I got here but I'm saving it for my memoirs. Who wants to ruin all that fun?
I will tell you this, if I could go back in time I wouldn't change a thing about my life... ok maybe I would re-think the post-child-birth-almost-free-tattoo's... you know how people say not to cut your hair in the midst of a life changing event? Yeah, make a note-to-self here, don't get tattoos then either!
That aside, wouldn't change a damn thing.
I would make all the same beautifully stupid mistakes because they made me who I am and I like me.
Granted there is a chunk of time where my life read like A Million Little Pieces, but without me having to exaggerate the story. I wouldn't change that either.
I tend to aviod meeting new people because I'm not sure how to integrate my crazy shit into general conversation.
It slips out in little awkward refrences, like I just made to the James Frey novel, raising more questions than I am readily willing to give answers to.
You're intrigued aren't you....?
