I went to visit my parents this weekend. I always get nervous going ‘home’. For a very long time ‘home’ was just not the most pleasant place to be and honestly I dreaded almost every trip because I knew it would end with me and someone in my family getting into some sort of screaming fit or someone crying or just a whole lotta drama.

I hate drama.

The older I get the more my family has seemed to level out. I truly love seeing my sister, niece and above all my mom. Though, she did call me old this past weekend. Not cool mom. She also asked me the dreaded question… “When are you going to find a companion?” Ugh. Basically, I’m getting old and I’m alone and she wants grandbabies. Lol.

I truly am in no rush to jump into a marriage or relationship. I would much rather take some extra time to develop a strong bond with my partner and build something that is going to last for a long time. Of course, I would love to have children one day and at this point in my life I can say that if all works out I will be a mother one day, one way or another. I do believe that I have the potential to be a strong supportive mother, mainly because my mother is just so awesome.

I am not blind to the fact that motherhood is hard, I would like to be debt free before I venture into mommy land and I would prefer to be with someone that I am in a loving supportive relationship.

I’m only 27, 28 in May. I still think that I have time, though I do sometimes hear my biological clock ticking away reminding me how I’m not getting any younger.

I know in my heart that my journey in life will be exciting and I truly look forward to what lies ahead because I am sure it will be amazing. The older I get the more positive I become. Things always have a way of working themselves out. There is no point in self pity, because you are where you are in your life for a reason. Sometimes bad situations, or what we perceive to be bad situations, help us by forcing us to take another path in life that we would have never taken without that obstacle.

I’m excited to see what’s to come.
