When You Have Your First Child

It's a whirlwind.

When You Have Your First Child

I had my first child last year on December 31st, 2015. Everyone always asks me how it feels to be a mother, and I'm sure I speak for all mothers out there when I say that there really is no answer in this world to describe how it makes you feel. When I say that it is the best feeling in the world, it does not explain how great it actually is. To this day I still can't believe that I am blessed with such an amazingly smart little girl.

Don't get me wrong though, there are days that are rougher than others. Some days she just does not want to stop whining or she won't sleep through the night and it will stress you out. On the other side of the situation though, she just wants your love and attention and sometimes it is hard to look through all of the chaos.

When your child is sad and the only thing to make it all better is by being held in your arms and they hug all of the worries out makes you just melt. It really showed me that I have a purpose in life, and that is to make my child and future children the happiest they can be by giving them all the love in the world, because your children love you more than anything in this world.

As I sit here in tears thinking about how far my child has come, how great she has developed, and all the love in the world I have for her, I still could not give you a sentence to tell you how amazing it feels to be a parent. To the people who ask why I can not explain to you how it feels, let me just say that I could write a book to explain just how it feels to be a mother and how much I love my daughter.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
