I guess that’s what you call click bait. Kind of. Let me explain what that means. I am Stephanie. I used to be just Stephanie, an independent entity. Then I had kids. The majority of the time, I am answering to Mom. Then I got married (because my Mom says I do everything the hard way) and then I got a whole new identity as a wife, with a new last name to boot.
I work full time, am a Quality Assurance Coordinator at a Surgical Supply Company.
I let these titles consume me. I work very hard to be the best Wife, Mother, and Employee that I can.
While doing that, I lost sight of me. I guess this is why people have empty nest syndrome when their kids leave the house. Because they dedicate their whole lives to their kids. I get it, I am a Dance Mom and a Soccer Mom, and am constantly shuffling the kids around from one place to another.
Sometimes I couldn’t tell you who I am. Like, if I were alone for a month – what would I want to do?
Would I want to read? Or watch a movie? Where would I go to eat? Would I exercise, or relax? What time would I go to bed? Would I wake up early or sleep until it was lunch time? Would I want to try something new? Or travel somewhere?
I honestly couldn’t tell you. So much of my life is accomodating the people I love.
I promise you, I am not complaining. I am so grateful for my husband, and my children. I am so blessed to be in the position I am in.
I sometimes wonder WHO I am, though. I have started doing things on my own.
I started this Blog, I recently joined a local running club. I have stepped out of my comfort zone with acquaintances, who turned into some really awesome friends.
It’s so easy to lose yourself. I would encourage you to take some time getting to know yourself and learning who you are outside of your titles.
