I dun have any clue to why I even bothered migrating to a foreign land and think that I can start a family here without facing any consequences. I convinced myself it was THE right thing to do but it has become more than a personal challenge. Somehow I am pushing myself to the limits.
My mother-in-law is convinced that I will not be able to handle two little children by myself. I leave it to God for any unanswered question about how I will cope with that challenge. Lots of people do it here. Bringing up their family with very limited help or family support.
I am however, ready for the challenge. Even with Lya, my personal struggle to get to where I am never fails to amaze me that it;s pure effort and pure good faith in personal perseverance.
Quitting is never an option. Life still goes on. That;s the real secret. There is NO secret formula in how one prevails under extreme conditions.
I simply believe that you just have to take the first steps and falls several times, ON your face. Pick yourself up and try again. Somehow, you will get there. Oh, Be careful when one is wishing for things to happen because you can never tell what makes you happy in the end.
Motherhood is all about comprimising your old life, letting go of the past and embracing the future.
It is the single most life changing journey that I have ever encounter.
and I am still learning.
