But just a few minutes ago as I was about to start some freelance work, I was side-tracked by Facebook and before I knew it I was browsing through some of the Mommy blogs. One blog lead to another and soon I ended up in http://mommyfleur.com/. The recent post on the site woke me up. It was like a tsinelas (slippers) that thumped me in the head really hard. It's called "Things I'm Afraid to Tell You".
She goes on to saying that a lot of people compliment her through her blog but the truth is she's not a perfect mother. She goes on to listing situations that I find all too familiar (chaotic house, not knowing anything about household, etc) And so I thought to myself, why am I so afraid of putting myself out there? This woman is so bold and straight forward. Her honestly makes her blog a good read. It has a lot of personality! And it's really a relief for me to know that I'm not the only mother who doesn't know what the hell she's doing. After all, motherhood is a lifetime learning process. The learning curves are never ending. Like what Richie says, it's MY blog. I can write whatever the hell I want with it. (Thanks hun! Love you!)
After reading Mommy Fleur's post, I came to an awakening that I'm not writing to please anyone, or to show the world that I'm trying to be a perfect mom. I can never be the Pinay Martha Stewart, most especially an Asian Nigella Lawson. I should just be the imperfect little me! It's these little errors, failed attempts that will make me be a stronger mom. Not perfect, but stronger :-) Thanks Mommy Fleur! You rock! :-)
Amen on the awakening mommy Rina! and don't be self conscious about your writing - you're great at it! More power to mommy bloggers!
ReplyDeleteIyak nako hahaha! Thank you so much Mr. DrivingSpiderman!!!! That really really means a lot!:-)
DeleteI'm not a mom but I love reading your blog. We really can't please everyone. Self worth and confidence should always come from within. This is an experience that must be heard and read by other people as well.
ReplyDeleteYou are a great mom and a very good blogger so believe in what you are doing and everything else will follow.

DeleteAs my favorite quote goes...
