I think its important to take a moment to reflect on all the good things I got going for me and look at the positive aspect of not to good things. Well I think the best and most obvious thing is that I have a beautiful daughter who I love more than life itself. She brings me so much joy, I am so much happier now than I have ever been in my entire life. Every time I think it couldn't be possible to love her any more than I already do, she does somethings that makes my heart swell with pride .
I have good friends and good family, who I know would die for me. Sarah is HOME and she has been there for me from the beginning, she was the first person I told about the pregnancy. My mom has been super supportive and helpful whenever I need her going above and beyond my expectations.
I'm a young mom, and a lot of people might see that as a negative thing but I love it. I'm a better person for it and I have high hopes for my future. When I'm forty Telesa will already be graduated and moved out. I may have lost my "young years" but it was more than worth it and I get to really enjoy my "old years".
I'm a single mom, and sure being a single parent has its hard spots but there's a lot of positive aspects to it. I got to choose Telesas name, no arguments, no settlements, no one to 'veto' my favourite names. I get to decide how to raise her. No one to tell me that co-sleeping is bad or any of the other decisions I made as a parent. I can raise her as I see fit. It sucks that I have to pay for everything but at the same time I can take pride that I am the sole provider for my daughter. See that cute outfit shes wearing? I bought it. That toy shes playing with? I bought it. You get the picture. Plus I know I won't be single forever, I'm a pretty good catch in my humble opinion. I'm easy on the eyes, nice, somewhat funny, and overall I have a good personality and after college/university I will have a great career. Plus, I think I have a good attitude about life, I try to ignore the negative and focus on the positive! Best of all I get Telesa ALL TO MYSELF and there's no competition for love, we both love each other more than anyone else.

You're such a great mom! I'm so glad you see all these things in your life as blessings. I'm a youngish mom (I was 22 when I had Isaiah) (okay, maybe it's not that young, but it felt young to me) and I'm so glad I didn't wait longer for my kids. I can't imagine doing anything with those years that would be as wonderful and valuable as spending time with my precious babies. I'm going to wish you a Happy Father's Day, because I think you deserve both for being there for your daughter!
I love having my boyfriend/father of my baby in my life, but I would love to be able to do things without having to run it by him first. Like the name of our daughter, what should be on our registry, etc. I think that being a single mom has it's pros/cons and being a....ummmm...non-single mom has its pros/cons. You should never let anyone bring you down for doing something that only a strong, powerful woman can do, regardless of age!
If you are doing all you say you are doing, which I don't doubt, you have every reason to be extremely proud. You are the best mother for Telesa and are meant to be her mom. Stay strong and don't be afraid to ask for help. And don't settle for a man unless he loves you for more than just what you look like. Okay, I'm done preaching.
