the thing is..... i'm a 23-year old pre-nursing student. i live with my boyfriend and our 2 kids (4 yr old girl and 4 mo old boy). it's really stressful a lot of times, of course making sure i spend quality time with my kids as well as working hard in school (i even was taking my a&p class while i was 7 months pregnant with my boy, and missed only 1 week after he was born). i know of course pre-nursing and nursing is stressful in general (everyone knows that), but... both my parents passed away when i was 14. i have a sister and bro that i speak to and see on occasions and i have the support of my relatives who live an hour away, as well as the support of my boyfriend's family, and fortunately, my boyfriend (who we've been together for almost 9 years this march) that supports me and has always been there for me, and of course my 2 kids that i adore... but... i still feel lonely at times...
maybe it's the fact that i am not able to talk to or see my parents and ask for advice, or be able to laugh with them when i get a good grade on a test, or stress to them when i didn't do my best. i just want to show them that i can do this, that i can become a registered nurse and make them proud...
i believe everything happens for a reason. like having my 2 angels to keep me going, keep me driven to pursue what i love. i want to do this for them... have them proud of their "mommy" and do this for my parents...have them proud of their daughter... but most importantly, i want to do this for me.
I just wanted to thank everyone for repyling back. I actually didn't realize how many people in here are actually going through my similar situation of being lonely at times. And thanks for all your advice and support. I believe in prayer and faith and I know all I would have to do is take it one day at a time, and that's what I am doing. School isn't easy... (let me correct that) LIFE in general isn't easy. But I know if I want something so bad (and that's becoming a Nurse) that I can do it... I can do anything I put my mind to.. and that goes for everyone else. :)
