Why Do I Share So Much?

Honestly, I'm surprised I've never been personally asked this
question. Although, I'm sure it's been thought about. Why do I share so much? About Knox & I? Well I'm here to answer that.
I share so much, I am well aware of this. But I dont really know how to answer why I do; so simply to be honest. I'm proud, I suppose. I'm proud of how far I've come. I used to be homeless, then I was couch hopping, then I was struggling to even feed myself, confused about who I was. Now I'm far from starving, I know who I am & I absolutely LOVE my life. Yes of course, there is always waves to ride, but when isn't there, am I right? (Well, that was easier to answer then I imagined).
Then there is Knox. Knox is without a doubt the best thing that's ever happened to me (besides Kyven of course). I share so much about him because I want people to know that I'm doing it. I'm doing this whole motherhood thing. It sure isn't easy but I'm doing it, I'm loving the shit out of it & I"m proud. I also love to get people involved; which is most likely the reasoning behind me starting this blog; Young Mom Unplugged.
I know there is TONS of individuals & mothers out there that feel the exact way I do & aren't as open & sharing on social media as I am. It's just a part of who I am. I have so many friends & family in & out of the country which plays a part. I honestly dont have the energy to individually tell them about everything, so why not go big I suppose.
I'm proud. I'm proud of myself, Knox & Kyven. I want to share that anyone can go from the lowest of the low to so much more than that. I want to share that age most definitely does not affect the ability to parent & if you have the right mindset, you can do it. That it's okay to be a teen mother & to be proud, embrace your shame. Fake it till you make it sweets.
I was so very depressed many years ago. I was ashamed of everything I was. I dont want to do that anymore. I want to be the exact opposite.. My blog/instagram & some times facebook is my output. It's where I share. Social media is meant for that very purpose. My blog is where I really go into things & can write down all my thoughts & share...because I know I'm not alone. I know there's so many others out there that can relate to the things I feel & go through.
My instagram is where I creatively express myself. I adore photography & cannot wait to get my camera fixed. Instagram has been my favorite for 5 years now. Facebook is where everyone I personally know is. I'm pretty sure I've already made my point, you've got the idea.
I love sharing. It's who I am. Deal with it. If you dont want to? That's fine. Thank you to all of you that have been so supportive and involved in my journey to motherhood & beyond. It's the most wonderful thing that I've been able to experience & I couldn't imagine not sharing it.
