She.Warrior

Let me hold you a little longer
Before you outgrow my lap
Allow me to caress you a little more
Whilst you rest, whilst you nap.
I hope you smell like this forever
Yet these phases I know, will pass
So let me hold you a little longer
For these moments become memories so incredibly fast.

As melhores partes de mim só existem por causa de você 🤍

My son.

You are the reason why I am alive today, you are the reason I can wake up and smile every single day, you are my only love in this big wide world and it is you who teaches me what life truly means.

You show me so many new things and help me to discover new and good parts of myself. You have helped me learn fantasy from reality yet we can still hold on to our dreams.

You push my limits to the point I sometimes want to cry, and with that you make your mama stronger each day.

You are my happiness, my sunshine, my darling and forever my baby boy.

Once upon a time there was a little prince. Not only was this prince brave, strong and kind; he was also the saviour of his queen.

No matter how dark the kingdom around them seemed at times, no matter how misty the forest became, he’d always find the rays of light shining through the trees. The darkness became a perfect opportunity to count the stars and dance barefoot in the moonlight.

And whenever the queen lost her footing, the little prince would always reach up to adjust the crown atop her head and remind her of the journey they have yet to take.

To all my fellow warrior single mamas..

We are queens, we can stand on our own two feet with the world on our shoulders and our children in our arms.

We can rise above those who try to drag us down, we can turn our lives around, for our brains are just as driven as our hearts.

We can wear these scars on our heads like a crown; they might not be what make us beautiful, but what make us strong and able to continue seeking adventures, to laugh like we used to laugh, to smile at the world when it judges us and say…

‘This is me. Strong, aware, powerful and forever a believer in love for I am raising my child alone and I'm fu***ng rocking it!'

There's a place by the Atlantic Ocean,
It holds the most incredible light,
It paints the most vibrant colours,
Which dance in the sky with delight.
A girl arrived here some time ago,
She had no idea what she'd gain,
She embraced new ideas and conversed with new words,
She found that pure joy is often entwined with bitter pain.
Infatuation entered her heart,
And her soul began to dance.
It was here she learned to balance her thoughts,
It was here she recognised what deserved another chance.
This is where her life began,
When she kissed her son's sweet face.
Lisboa is a city she'll hold in her heart,
A place she'll forever embrace.

Obrigada minha querida Lisboa por me dar um pedacinho da sua magia que eu sempre levarei comigo

A free spirit will never know, nor understand true love until she becomes a mother. Her freedom to move her soul in and through this world may be temporarily disabled, but that's only because her heart is travelling through a much more important path; and this adventure will teach her more than any place, language or culture ever could.

Becoming a mother is something she had always been afraid of, to hold the life of someone else in the palm of your hand and to have the power to shape and mould that life.

As she stands today; what a profound yet amazing journey her child is taking her on and she has discovered so many different parts of herself through the heart of her child.

Her child is her everything, everything that she could ever want or could have ever wanted. The way her child looks at her: with such admiration it fills her entire being with a love stronger than anything she has ever known in this world.
