I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me.
I can only hope to be 10 percent of the mom mine was to me. She encouraged me to be confident and enjoy life. That's what I want for my son.
Life is what you make it... and nowhere close to making mine the best it can be.
So far I'm not surprised by anything about being a mom. It's all pretty great - but that's what I expected.
I think it's interesting that women, by nature, are way more conflicted than men.
At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.
