It’s created a sense of independence within myself

I am 7 1/2 months pregnant with my first child. I’m going to be a single parent and that is different to me just based on all of the people I see around me that are pregnant with partners. As much as that must be really nice I feel inspired by being able to be an individual and stand on my own 2 feet. It’s created a sense of independence within myself that I didn’t have before.

It’s been difficult in someways but it’s been better in others. Being able to find the positivity in a difficult situation has been really good for me.

I had a little doll, a clown. I can’t remember her name. Why can’t I remember her name? Luna was her name! That was the name of it. It had braided hair. It was really cute. It was really important to me. I couldn’t sleep without it. And I left it in a coffee shop one time when I was maybe four. I was devastated and up all night freaking out, crying. But I didn’t need any more after that one night I didn’t have it. I remember being incredibly attached to it.
