I have a close friend of mine who got pregnant at the age of 19. I knew her as someone who was a happy go lucky, a party chick and she was somewhat a liberated type of person. I never saw her as a mother typed of person, she fell in love and that got her pregnant after 5 months.
I then heard that her boyfriend left her, and she was left alone with the baby and she hasn't told her parents yet. i approached her and she seems fine with it. And that i knew on how much strong my close friend was. After being abandoned by her boyfriend, she was left to tell her parents by herself without anyone supporting her.
As a friend i can't do anything much about it since she also didn't want me to get in with her problems. She deals with her problems by herself and she even decided to keep the baby.
It was a rough time for her since she was a daddys girl, and her dad wasn't giving her the attention after knowing she got pregnant. But after the baby was born, her family was thankful that she have a healthy baby girl.
That close friend i knew, wasn't that happy go lucky, party chick, and liberated type of person anymore. She was already working really hard, she don't go out anymore and she was already nice to everyone. One day she called me to come over, and we talked.
I asked her "How is your life?" I looked at her and she was had this stressful look on her face and she just smiled and said "Life is great! I never knew how amazing life is when i had given birth to a beautiful baby girl.
She changed my life, back in the past when i care about how people look at me, how much i wear tons of make up to make me look gorgeous but now, i don't care about what they think of me. I wear a duster when i go to mall, but i feel beautiful because i have someone with me that made my life wonderful. The person i was before was nothing compared to who i am right now."
There was a long paused when her baby cried. She took a bottle and carried her baby and added "I never thought that god love me that much!" That made me speechless and i ask her why. My close friend then said "If it wasn't for this gods gift, i would have never change into someone much better. And you know what is the best job in the world? Being a good mother."
I never got to hang out a lot with that close friend of mine, because i understand that she is taking care of her life and actually living it. In life we are blocked by problems or challenges, its up to us to break it and go through the way. Never give up on anything that meets us, from bad or good. Because in life, it always changes us to something better and more spectacular than what we are before.
