Same Dark Soul, New Nurturing Mind

Hello blogger land! I haven't had anything to write about for quite some time now. Life was simply taking it's course, and I think a break from writing was good for me. You will find that my mindset is quite different now. I am in a relationship that is going well so far, and seems to be serious. In fact, I am expecting a baby. Strange concept for me. Exciting, though. I am 17 weeks along and feeling much more alive than I did in the first trimester. I was sick a lot. Not nearly as sick as other women in my family got during pregnancy, though. So I am thankful for that. The sick I felt was bad enough. And I worked through most of it. I only called in to work a few times, though I felt like calling in every day.

It's very profound what being pregnant does to a dark soul. I live for this tiny being growing inside of me. To protect it at all costs. The only thing that matters as much to me is the love between me and my boyfriend, and preserving it. The tigress in me comes out stronger than ever when it comes to my new little family. I have gone from hating everyone and everything, to having an inextinguishable love for the few I hold dear to my heart. My life revolves around being everything they need, and they are everything I need.
