A Summary of An OLd Essay
Being a Single Parent.
Being a single parent nowadays, is no longer an aberrant lifestyle. Struggle within struggle as it may seem, a single parent has been estranged with numerous issues that defy his/ her present and future life. It is not only the issue of being the sole financier but the issue of being an assertive voyager in the midst of unknown rhythm of life.
It is better off single than to be married to an irresponsible man, believing that one can raise perfectly healthy children without father.
I wanted to be a devoted mom to my child by all means.
With simple smile from him, my sorrow turned to joy as if bringing me in a great height of happiness. "Masarap magkaron ng baby na matatawag mong sa'yo". You'll be addicted with his warm sweet smiles.
Time really heals the wounds of the past as forgiveness conquers a flinty heart.
For me, parenting has been something like smogasboard, providing many choices with a variety of outcomes, some predictable, most unpredictable.
I know through this experience what I want to do in my life and who I want to be part of it. I know my child is happy and nothing could make me happier.
I learned that if you can't love yourself, you can't love anyone else, especially a child.
Right now, I am having a hard time to find someone who could respect and accept what and who I am.
"Gusto ko yung seryosong tatanggap sakin kung ano at sino ako, hindi lang puro sex. Kung hindi niya mamahalin ung anak ko, hindi ko rin siya kailangan. Dapat tingnan niya ako bilang tao at bilang ako."
Reality really bites. We must remember that for every mistake we committed there's a corresponding lesson. That lesson would leave a significant mark in our hearts to live, renew and continue the voyage; after all, life has so many things to offer! Keep going. Be strong.
