How can I feel so old but yet I'm only 22? Next month marks 5 years since I've graduated high school. FIVE WHOLE YEARS! Where has the time gone? Everyone is either getting engaged, getting married, or having children and I'm over here like been there down that and probably won't do it again unless an amazing man comes into my life and fixes my heart little by little from all the hurt that I have built up inside. At the ripe old age of 22 I have become a mother, become a wife, and am now in the process of a divorce. No 17 year old looks down the road five years later and says I am going to be a single mother going through a divorce with no actual address to call home. The only great thing that came out of my short two year marriage was my son. He's the reason I breathe, he's the reason I get up in the morning, and he's the reason I go to bed every night with swollen ankles from working my butt off at work.
When life hits you, it hits you hard. I truly believe that God won't give you more than you can handle so God must think that I can handle an awful lot. Between leaving a toxic marriage, taking over an extra room at my friends house until my new place is ready in May, and trying to co-parent I am exhausted. It has been seven weeks since my life has turned upside down but now I know it was for the better. Some days are better than others, but overall I am happier. Yes, life is hectic but I'm loving it. I've learned it's okay to take some me time for me even though half the time I feel guilty for spending any money on me. I've learned what makes me happy and with that I am finding a new Tori. This new Tori is happier, healthier, and more motivated than ever. So, sit back, relax and watch the roller coaster of my life. I have no clue where life will be taking me in a few months or even in a few days as I've learned to live life one day at a time.
XOXO Tousled Tori
