When you’ll know what life is all about? 





When you look at yourself in the mirror and love what you see
When you learned about the mistakes you have done
When you know that the experiences you have lived have taught you life lessons
When you say no and don’t feel guilty about it
When you take life a little less serious
When you accept yourself as you are
When you try to live the moment and enjoy it
When you are not worried about how much you have but rather on how much you can give
When you know what your passion is and you follow that path
When you work to live, not live to work
When you understand that there’s no one who can take better care of you than you
When you woke up with a smile because you are grateful you are alive
When you share your love with others
When you believe more in yourself than in chances
When you don’t care what others say or think about you
When you enjoy simple things like sunsets, holding a hand, long conversations, starry nights, and walks at the beach
When you let others love you
When you laugh out loud like you did as a child
When you care for others because it comes from your heart
When you love yourself more than others
That’s when you’ll know what life is all about!

To be a parent is...






To be a parent is...

to attempt for the first time
to play by ear
to fail a lot of times
to cry of joy
to love every moment of it
to care without limits
to cry of sorrow
to learn to let go
to be grateful
to be immensely joyous
to forgive
to suffer when your kids do
to try and make mistakes
to sometimes expect the unexpected
to ask for forgiveness
to have many endless nights without sleep
to celebrate every tiny success
to wipe a lot of tears
to talk limitless about your kids
to be there when they need you
to know it all
to know nothing
to be a teacher, a nurse, a driver, a coach, a friend, a role model
to walk with them every step of the way
to laugh hysterically
to love unconditionally 
to know that they are not yours, just part of you
