It didn't take me to long to think about what type of mask I wear and like a few other woman that I have noticed hide behind this one too. My children, my family are my everything. Should they be or am I selfish to try to put myself first sometimes? My mom used to say "If Mama aint happy then nobody is happy!" But what if taking care of my family makes me happy? Is that wrong? Although there are days when it is too much and I wish I only had me to take care of.
I do use the kids to hide behind if I don't want to deal with something or someone. I will say something has come up with the kids or use them as an excuse. I will stand behind the kids when we meet new people and let them do all the talking. Which is weird because I'm not really a shy person. I guess it's I just don't mind standing in the background and letting them have the light.
I think I'm going to enjoy doing this challenge. It will give me a chance to see what makes me shine again.
