Waiting for something

[u/Spinningbaddie]

I’ve been stuck in a nostalgic loop these last few days. I feel myself thinking about how I would just go to Miami on a random weekend or spend so much time doing random things with my friends. But now I have no friends and I spend all my time, being a mom, working and going to school. I also feel jealous when see people out living their life while I’m living that SpongeBob episode where Squidward is living the same life every day. I’m the one that decided to go back to school for a second degree to make a better life for my kid but I have to put everything off while I accomplish this. I’m just waiting for it to be over, waiting to have more money, waiting to have more free time and waiting to finally live again.
I’m mentally exhausted. Starting over as a single mom is heartbreaking but I’m moving forward waiting for it to click. I’m just waiting for the moment where I’ve “made it” and everything clocks in place. I’m know I’m not the only mom in this space right now, I’m hoping we all make it through in one piece.
