I am here for Friends

About Me

I have spent the last few years of my life in search for myself in hopes to find some grand realization, some epiphany and all my questions would be answered. I will never quite figure out exactly who i am. The world around me is constantly changing and I just adapt to what it is I am faced with. Which brings me to my next chapter in this book called life, I am a mother. It is a beautiful thing. I have given life to another human. The day I was greeted with my son, was the day my life began to make sense. when i look into his eyes and hear his laughter, I know that everything else in my life is going to be okay. I am finally beginning to accept myself, with all of its perfect imperfections. I am a giver. I am a dreamer. i use to wear my heart on my sleeve which unfortunately is most likely the reason I am so protected today. I constantly forget to capitalize my “i’s” and I do not think i have ever once spelled definately correct. I can’t stand noises made with the mouth and my attitude can get the best of me. I can't dance but still try.."erica, its all in the hips"...I have yet to figure that one out. i am a procrastinator, but i will always get my shit done. I am extremely shy and build highly guarded walls. i have learned to love myself for each of these flaws. I love to smile and feel that laughter is medicine. I am a mother, I am a daughter, I am a sister, I am a friend. I love my life for the beautiful mess that it is.

My Interests

My family, my wonderful sweet fat dog, the outdoors, camping, bonfires, red wine, Newcastle, the smell of freshly cut grass, sunny days and thunderstorms, traveling to new places, art, culture, a funny joke and an intelligent conversation.

I'd like to meet:

Before I was a Mom I never learned the words to a lullaby.I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Drooled on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple little grin. I never sat up for hours watching a baby sleep.I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.I had never known the warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Heroes:

My Mother.....I could have never asked for a better mother. She is the most amazing person I will ever come to know in my lifetime. She has always been there to share my laughter and my pain. She is my guardian and my angel. My Brother....I have looked up to him as a little girl and I will look up to him as a grown woman. My Father....I have come to know my father more in the past few months than I ever have before. He finally stepped away from the devil that has torn our family apart for so many years and walked away a whole new person. This person, I have been a product of this man for nearly 24 years and not until now do I really get to meet him. Alcoholism is a dangerous thing.
