Graduation

I have graduated....From wearing what's trendy to wearing button-down or zipped nighties.... From chainsmokers or Katy Perry to songs about pet animals and lullabies....from Jeffery Archer to alphabet books....from late nights and lazy mornings to sleepless nights and early mornings....From deep conditioning to 10 minute showers....From facials to dark circles...From buying lipstick online to buying diapers.... From choosing dinner cuisines to carefully choosing foods that aren't gassy....from vodka to milk or juice.... From DJ parties to yearning for quiet nights.... From date nights to wondering when is a good time to step out and get groceries.... From sitcom marathons to stealing in one episode on mute....From worrying about the next meeting at work to worrying about colour of poop....From being confident to being clueless... Seems like a lot to handle? Yes. Difficult? Yes. Worth it? More than anything in the world! Would I trade it for anything else? No way! Why you ask? Because none of the above is a sacrifice.... It's all a choice. A choice I made. And nothing can even compare to the sheer joy, the sheer bliss of holding the little one in my arms.... Of the abundant love I feel when a tiny fist holds my finger.... Of having the power to quench thirst and hunger.... Of being the source of comfort.... Of gazing into eyes that already look up to me.... Of wondering what that cute little smile was for.... Of watching him sleep as time stands still....
 Sacrifice or choice - it's all about perspective isn't it?
I have graduated - From being a woman to becoming a mother. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Truly grateful and blessed!
