MY LIFE BEFORE BECOMING A MOTHER (ENG/ESP)

in Motherhood2 years ago
Usually when we become mothers, our life changes completely, even if you try to keep your previous lifestyle, it is a little difficult because you have a great responsibility in your hands and it is called: being a mom, it is a wonderful job full of challenges and adventure with those little ones but suppose we have a time machine and we went to the past, just in those majestic moments before being a mom, assuming the challenge of the community and thankful for being here.

I tell you my story



One of the most striking things when I turned 16 was to be in the military, my family was not doing very well economically and I thought it would be the right thing to do, I had to leave home, it was one less burden for my family so I started my journey I did all the necessary tests and I was selected.

It was a very difficult time being in the military was not easy, I missed my family a lot and the physical demands were very strong, I lasted two years there where I tested many things that helped me later in my life. Finally I had to leave because I was injured in a fall and my knee never recovered because of the physical effort that a military academy demanded.

ARMED FORCES BASIC SCHOOL


I went back to my normal life.



I was a little sad because I felt I had regressed, I was at home again without being able to do anything and I decided to go home for a while with my grandmother because at home I always felt like a burden and spending time with my grandmother just made me very happy, plus I could help her at home since I could not walk well, because I had a problem in my left leg.


SHARING WITH MY GRANDMOTHER, 5TH BIRTHDAY


A very difficult time



After retiring from the military academy and spending time with my grandmother to think about what other path I could take to begin to study and start a new life, by this time in my life I was 18 years old, I reached a point where my grandmother felt more and more pain in her leg and the only medical solution was to operate her, after incredible moments, planning with her what I could do with my life and counting on her support, the day of that surgery that would change my life completely arrived.

I returned home and for reasons beyond my control I could not be with her in the hospital, I had to wait for her to return so I could take care of her after that difficult surgery, finally nothing went as expected and my grandmother died in surgery due to medical malpractice, I could not believe that from one day to another my life had changed, because life had taken from me the one I considered my best friend and my shelter at that time, it was assumed that we would take care of each other and that she would have no more pain. But life had other plans for us.

DIFFICULT TIMES, IT WAS SIMPLY A SAD TIME


After the storm comes the calm



With the death of my grandmother, I was extremely unmotivated, I did not want to do anything, I simply wanted to leave this world too, but again life would give me a chance, finally I tried to continue after that hard blow, I looked for a job and this job allowed me to enter the university, two years had already passed after the death of my grandmother and I had to continue, finally with my first two salaries I enrolled in the university. I was happy, for the first time in a long time and I started a very nice stage.

BEAUTIFUL TIMES


My time at university



After a few years, I could see the light again, I was working and I could pay for my college, it was a wonderful 5 year period, I was very happy, I met great friends that I still have today and I felt good about who I had become, I was proud of myself.

What I miss most about being a mom



I miss my friends, I miss those outings to enjoy in an improvised way, those laughs out loud, I also miss a little that carefree life I had, I could travel without complications, go to the beach with a small backpack and with very little money in my wallet, are things that simply fed my soul and my spirit at that time.

My change after becoming a mom




The most relevant change was my sense of responsibility, as soon as I got pregnant I just thought only about my baby, about that person I had inside me and who would depend on me for most of his life, so I had to do it right, some friends left, sometimes not everyone is involved in your journey as a mom and that's okay, it's a little difficult but you have to accept it, those fun outings with friends were over and my life was focused on my children and it is also something I enjoy a lot, although maybe not everyone will accompany you on this journey.

Any regrets?




No, I don't regret anything, life is just like that, I feel that it was a beautiful stage that I enjoyed and it ended, like many things in our lives that have a beginning and an end, now I am in this wonderful stage of being a mom and I am really enjoying it to the fullest.

MI VIDA ANTES DE SER MAMA





Por lo general cuando nos convertimos en madres, nuestra vida cambia por completo, aunque intentes mantener tu estilo de vida anterior, es un poco difícil porque tienes una gran responsabilidad en tus manos y se llama: ser mamá, es un trabajo maravilloso lleno de retos y aventuras con esos pequeños, pero supongamos que tenemos una máquina del tiempo y nos fuimos al pasado justo en esos majestuosos momentos antes de ser mamá, asumiendo el reto de la comunidad y agradeciendo estar aquí.

Te cuento mi historia



Una de las cosas más llamativas cuando cumplí 16 años fue ser militar, mi familia no la estaba pasando muy bien económicamente y pensé que sería lo correcto, tenía que irme de casa, era una carga menos para mí familia así que emprendí mi viaje, hice todas las pruebas necesarias y fui seleccionada.

Fue una época muy difícil ser militar no era nada fácil, extrañaba mucho a mi familia y la exigencia a nivel físico era muy fuerte, allí duré dos años en donde puse a prueba muchas cosas que me sirvieron más adelante en mi vida. Finalmente tuve que irme de baja porque me lastima en una caída y mi rodilla nunca se recuperaba por el esfuerzo físico que demandaba una academia militar.

ESCUELA BÁSICA DE LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS


Volví a mi vida normal.



Estaba un poco triste porque sentía que había retrocedido, nuevamente estaba en casa sin poder hacer nada y decidí irme un tiempo con mi abuela, porque en casa siempre me sentía como una carga y pasar tiempo con mi abuela simplemente me hacía muy feliz, además podía ayudarla ya que no podía caminar bien, porque tenía un problema en la pierna izquierda.


COMPARTIENDO CON MI ABUELA, 5º CUMPLEAÑOS


Una época muy difícil



Luego de haberte retirado de la academia militar y pasar tiempo donde la abuela para pensar, que otro camino podía tomar para empezar a estudiar y comenzó una vida nueva, para este momento de mi vida tenía 18 años, llego un punto donde mi abuela sentía cada vez más dolor en su pierna y la única solución medica era operarla, después de momentos increíbles, de planificar con ella que podía hacer con mi vida y contando con su apoyo, llego el día de aquella cirugía que cambiaría mi vida por completo.

Regrese a mi casa y por motivos ajenos a mi voluntad no pude estar con ella en el hospital, debía esperar que regresara para poder cuidarla de aquella cirugía tan difícil, finalmente nada salió como esperábamos y mi abuela por mala praxis médica murió en la cirugía, no podía creer que de un día para otro mi vida había cambiado, pues la vida me había quitado a quien consideraba mi mejor amiga y mi cobijo en ese momento, se suponía que nos cuidaríamos mutuamente y que ella no tendría más dolor. Pero la vida tenía otros planes para nosotras

TIEMPOS DIFÍCILES, ERA SIMPLEMENTE UN MOMENTO TRISTE


Después de la tormenta llega la calma



Con el fallecimiento de mi abuela, estaba sumamente desmotivada no quería hacer nada, simplemente quería irme de este mundo también, pero nuevamente la vida volvería a darme una oportunidad, finalmente intente seguir luego de ese golpe tan duro, busque un trabajo y este trabajo me permitió entrar en la universidad, ya habían pasado dos años después de la muerte de mi abuela y tenía que seguir, finalmente con mis dos primeros sueldos me inscribí en la universidad. Estaba feliz, por primera vez en mucho tiempo y comencé una etapa muy bonita

BELLOS MOMENTOS


Mi época universitaria



Después de algunos años, pude volver a ver la luz, estaba trabajando y podía pagar mi universidad fue un periodo de 5 años maravillosos, era muy feliz, conocí a grandes amigos que conservo en la actualidad y me sentía bien con quien me había convertido, estaba orgullosa de mi.

Lo que más extraño ante de ser mama




Extraño a mis amigos, extraño esas salidas a disfrutar de manera improvisadas, esas risas a carcajadas, también extraño un poco esa vida desenfadada que tenía, podía viajar sin complicaciones, ir a la playa con un morral pequeño y con muy poco dinero en mi cartera, son cosas que simplemente alimentaban mi alma y mi espíritu en ese momento.

Mi cambio después de ser mama




El cambio más relevante, fue mi sentido de la responsabilidad, apenas quede embarazada simplemente solo pensaba en mi bebe, en esa persona que tenía dentro de mí y que dependería de mí en gran parte de su vida, así que tenía que hacerlo bien, algunos amigo se fueron, en ocasiones no todos se involucran en tu camino como mama y eso está bien, es un poco difícil pero hay que aceptarlo, se acabaron esas salidas divertidas entre amigos y mi vida se centró en mis hijos y también es algo que disfruto mucho, aunque quizá no todos te acompañen en este viaje.

EN LA PLAYA CON MI HIJO MAYOR



¿Algo de que arrepentirme?




No, no me arrepiento de nada, simplemente la vida es así, siento que fue una etapa hermosa que disfrute y termino, como muchas cosas en nuestras vidas que tienen un comienzo y un final, ahorita estoy en esta etapa maravillosa, de ser mamá y realmente la estoy disfrutando al máximo.

Sort:  

Losing your grandmother at that point of your life would be emotionally draining. I am sorry to hear thay you passed through such a phase but the good thing is that the phase is over and now you are ha]y in your life again.

You told about the injury in your knee. How much time did it take to get the injury recover. Do you still feel some problem in it?

Motherhood comes with responsibilities yet it has its own happiness. No matter how much we are tired, a hug from our kid relaxes us

💕💕thank you for reading my publication, I appreciate it very much. The death of my grandmother was always something difficult, since she was like my mother, but little by little I learned to live without her company, my knee with the years improved a lot and children are the most beautiful responsibility that any person can assume. 💕💕
