The Beauty of Boredom: Why Life’s Quiet Moments Matter

“I’m bored.” If you’re a parent, chances are you’ve heard these words more times than you can count. They’re usually delivered with dramatic flair—like it’s your job to solve this "problem" immediately. I used to jump in with solutions: toys, crafts, screen time, or a sudden plan to get out of the house. But lately, I’ve stopped. Instead, I’ve started saying something revolutionary: “Good.

My Motherhood Journey Began at 19



There was a time when I felt ashamed and embarrassed to share my story of becoming a mom at 19. I didn’t think I had the right to speak up because I didn’t do it the “right” way, and I thought, “Who am I to try to help other young moms?” I felt less than those who followed the "norm." But over the years, I realized we all have our own stories, and no one is perfect. I've grown so much as a mom and as a person. 


I did the best I could with what I knew at the time, and as the years passed, I gained more wisdom and understanding. Even though I became a mom young, my love and commitment have always been strong. So to all the young moms out there, don’t be too hard on yourself. Don’t feel ashamed of your journey. Motherhood is tough, but your love will push you to do what’s best for you and your baby.


The truth is, people will always judge and criticize no matter what. But you have to do what's right for you and your child. It’s okay to take advice from those who genuinely want to help, as long as it comes from a place of love and understanding, not judgment.


There will be times when you feel like you're failing or not measuring up, but keep going—for you and for your baby. One day, you'll look back and realize that everything, the good and the bad, was part of your journey. You won’t feel guilt or shame anymore—just pride in how far you’ve come. 


You and your child will grow together, and when you reflect on how far you've both come, it will be an amazing feeling. Everyone's journey is different, so don’t compare yourself to others. Just focus on you and yours.
