BIG life update
I'm a wife and a mother! Holy cow! 2024 was easily the biggest year of my entire life. A few months after getting engaged in 2023, my fiance and I decided to start trying for a baby. We thought it would take awhile because of my endometriosis and PCOS, but in October of 2023 we found out I was pregnant with a baby girl, due June 10th! And on June 10th exactly, we welcomed out perfect daughter into the world.
On September 20th, we then got married in a beautiful vineyard surrounded by our friends and family, and of course our little girl. It was a Harry Potter wedding and was absolutely magical(pun intended) and perfect(except for the record breaking heat for that day lol).
Now into 2025, I'm still navigating this whole new person I've become, a mother and a wife. Wow. Sometimes it still amazes me how far I've come in life. Back when I started writing Harry Styles imagines I was in a bad place. I've never talked about this online but when I first started writing on this blog, I had a drinking problem. It wasn't out of hand or anything, but I definitely had a problem. I lived in my parents house, had no job, had just moved to a new state and had no friends or family apart from my mom and dad. I had to drop out of college because my dad lost his job. It was just a very dark time and I found so much light and happiness in everyone here on tumblr and felt like I finally found where I fit in, as a writer. Writing for this blog used to consume me, even after I moved states once again and started a full time job and going to school. I would stay up until 3 or 4am after working a 12 hour shift just to write enough imagines to have posts scheduled for the next day while I was working another 12 hour shift.
I hate to say it, but I have not written in MANY years. I've got a work in progress novel that I've been working on for probably over 10 years now that I've kind of come back to every once in awhile but that's it. I would be lying if I said I don't miss writing like I used to. Writing used to be my escape, my escape from all the heavy in my life. And now my life is full of so much love and happiness. I'm married to my absolute best friend and love of my life and we have such an amazing daughter.
I finally feel like I'm where I'm meant to be. While Amanda the mom and wife is a completely different person to who I used to be, she's so much better. More tired, but better.
I don't really know why I'm writing this. I'm sure not many will read it. I think just because I like to document my life on here now, look back on it in a few years and see how far I've come once again. So if you've made it this far, thank you for listening to my rambling, lol. I appreciate you.
