I used to be very good at experiencing my emotions. What I mean by that is I have always embraced every emotion of mine and learned from it..made it an experience. I don't know why I have changed so much since my life has changed so dramatically, but it's mind boggling. I KNOW I have bottles and bottles of emotions inside me. Before, I would love embracing these, whether they were good or bad feelings. When I am really sad, and really down..that is when I feel most like a human, so vulnerable and so alive. I'm not saying that deep down I am super sad because that is not the case. If you ask me how I feel, I would tell you that I am very happy,and feel very blessed for everything I have in life. But I know there is so much more then that? I feel like a bottle rocket that has been lit but waiting to fly up in the air for so long, and it's just not happening. Part of me feels like its all just in my head. I have always taken things as they come, and still do, so why would I have any hidden emotions that I am not dealing with? Maybe it's because I'm a mother now, so "me" comes last on my list of priorities. Maybe it's not some kind of crazy mystery, it's just not a priority to figure out "me". Music has always swooned up crazy emotions for me, I don't know what I would do with out it. Now, if I listen to music too much, I feel too much, and I have to stop because I don't even want to go there. BUT WHAT IS "THERE?" I think I experienced so much life change in such a short amount of time that I feel I can't catch up and find peace in all of it. I don't miss the lifestyle I used to have, but I really miss my friends. There are very few people on the planet I can really confide in, and spill every bit of feeling with no hesitation..because I know there is no judgement. My one friend that I feel this way about is so far away, and its been seriously forever since a "genuine" hang out session has taken place. I think its really wearing on me because it was in those "spilling the beans" times where I would find that little bit more of me that I was looking for. I have always said live each day creating myself not finding myself...which is something I really do want to live by. It just feels like I spend so many days "creating" myself..and then my life changed so much and I'm back at square one. Creating myself seems like such a daunting task because I don't know what the hell kind of person I want to be. I know I want to be a good mother, and I know I want to be a good partner for Cody. I know I want to be a good person..but what about the details?? I used to speak my mind like it was no big thang and now I find myself hiding in the dark and just dealing with shit. I over react at the littlest of situations when it's nothing to even get worked up over. I am so afraid of walking on people's toes and hurting people's feelings that I forget about my own feelings. Just because I'm a mother now and my priorities have completely shifted doesn't mean I am not a person anymore. I don't know why I can't get this through my head. Everything I talk about lately is such surface shit and I'm just not like that. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy talking about Axton, I enjoy talking about my pregnancy how I'm feeling etc...what I did for the weekend...but like I said..that is all surface stuff. I miss being able to dig a lot deeper, thinking and feeling so much more.
I just don't understand any of it. Before, I may have been able to dig real deep in myself and really experience emotions and feelings about anything and everything. I feel that has come to a halt however..with this huge life change I feel such a deep connection and love with Cody and Axton that is more real and more intense then anything I've ever felt before. I really don't understand how I got so lucky to have Cody in my life. I met him when I was 16 weeks pregnant and so lost with life. He picked up all my pieces, accepted me for who I am no questions asked, and wanted whole heartedly to father my son. I have been in many relationships, but with him everything was different. We moved in together after 2 months of knowing each other. I can't say that the minute I met him I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, but I can say that the minute I met him I knew there was something so very special between us. It is an amazing thing to be with someone and fully 100% have trust in them. I have been hurt before...probably in the worst way someone could possibly be hurt. (Be with someone, find out you are bringing a life into this world and have them completely in every way not accept it. Move across the nation like a little bitch and get engaged 2 weeks later since I refused an abortion.) I know Cody would NEVER hurt me. And I mean NEVER. If he wanted to go on a 3 month drinking binge with all his friends surrounded by the hottest bitches known to mankind, I would not worry one tiny little bit because I know he wouldn't lay one single finger on any of them. That is the god honest truth. He is a GOOD person, a GOOD man, and I really do feel so lucky. From day one he felt like he was Axton's father, and embraced the whole experience. He helped me financially and physically get ready for his arrival, was there for his birth and cried with the rest of us because of the instant love all of us felt for Axton. He is nothing but a wonderful father to Axton, and Axton just LOVES him to pieces. Now we have little Zaidyn coming soon and I honestly couldn't ask for a better man in my life to father my children. Cody went from drinking every night partying with his friends working a part time job..to meeting me, moving in, settling down, becoming a father, working a full time job AND a part time job to support his family, and loving every bit of the change. I would never do anything to put our relationship at jeopardy because I know it would be something I would regret for the rest of my life. We set our wedding date to September 1st, 2012 but both of us have no wanting to wait that long to commit our lives to each other. We wanted to get married a long time ago. We are going to wait though and concentrate on our family for right now.
Now if I start talking about my feelings for Axton, I will become a absolute mess. My love for him is crippling. I may not know who I am as a person anymore, but I know that having Axton and being a mother has made me a much better person. Thinking of how much I love my Axton brings tears instantly to my eyes, and I couldn't be more proud to call him my son. I am very much looking forward to having these same feelings for my daughter.
Even though I have accomplished nothing in this blog/figured anything out..it has helped immensely just to get it in writing. Maybe I really need to once and awhile force myself to dig deep, feel and write my emotions.
