I am a mom. Although I love being a mom, I also love the idea of figuring out who I am now in my late 30s. Through countless trials and tribulations of intimate relationships, I lost myself. I lost it darn good too! I have been in the military for over 17 years now and I definitely have a somewhat different outlook on life, especially relationships. Now the most important thing I have come to realize is that family and/or close friends and faith is the key to surviving this day in age.
