Who am I??

article image placeholderUploaded by @CrystalNina42
And I'm very grateful for that as I don't know what I would have done if they would have gone through the things that I've gone through. I know it's not nice to call myself an orphan, but I feel that way as my parents really were very, or they still are very narcissistic and really only cared about who they were with at the time

So I had to come over here and I had to be like, who's Crystal? Because I follow you. I was like, do I follow Crystal? Of course I follow Crystal. I think I've already shared or probably like something, and then you popped in, like, I come over there and it's this one, it's the introduction, it's the who am I thing. And I love this

But you know where I'm going with this? It's like, who am I? A mom, a wife. What else is there? So that's what I'm on my journey to find, even as we speak. And, yeah, I look forward to hearing your future recordings on this swell app. It's great. Thanks. Have a good one

You're not a stay at home mom, Crystal. You're a badass. And, yeah, you want to write, and you want to be the best. I want to say esthetician. An esthetician ever. Go do it. Hell, yeah. And your kids are getting older. Right now, you're at the get

But then I hit the days when it's like, you see my energy. Believe me, I'm a lot to deal with for my entire family. My kids don't want to be around me all the time. I'm just too, believe it or not, I'm kind of crabby just because I'm a parent. So that's it. And you get to a point like, you know this where you love your kid. I love my kids to death

And it's unwavering, unconditional love that I get from my kids and from my husband at times when he's not busy. But we all have our lives, and I'm trying to find a life of my own outside of my family. This is the biggest thing that I'm looking for, and I'm actually getting myself out of my comfort zone. Going upstate by myself, driving across New Jersey to go to Pennsylvania

We have our moments of love, but when it comes down to who they want, when they are sad or upset or when they want someone to comfort them, it is 100% time a time their mother. I'm rejected constantly. Get out of here. We want mommy. So, yeah, it's a beautiful thing. I wish I had it, but, yeah, you seem like an amazing mother. And bless you. Bless your family. I hope everything goes extremely well in upstate
