Do it.
Try.
I dare you. :)
Come up with one singular word that sums you up.
I tried for years before succeeding. Maybe that makes you feel better, and maybe you got yours in about two seconds and I seem a little slow.
My word is determined.
Determined:
1. Resolute, staunch.
2. Decided, settled, resolved.
3. Someone with their mind made up about something.
Determination is what pushes me to keep going after I fail. But like the nursery rhyme says, when the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
I guess I never thought the bough would break.
Because the cradle is falling.
And just because I look like I've got it together doesn't mean I actually do. But no one wants a broken toy. Or in my case, a broken personal organizer/responsible adult/magical fixer of literally everything that goes wrong for everyone but me.
I am determined.
I am determined to move past this.
I am determined to be a woman my children can look up to someday.
