Who am I? (Identity vs Identity Confusion)
In May I graduated from high school. I was unsure of who I was or what I wanted to become. I decided to attend college because that is what everyone else was doing and if I did not attend college I may not ever go. I enrolled with a desire for nursing but ended up changing my mind 2 times, moving back to Alaska from Texas and graduating with a culinary degree in 2011. After graduation I was definitely in a state of identity confusion. This went on for years. -
True Love(Intimacy vs Isolation)
In October I met my now husband for the first time. After many years of failed relationships, I finally found someone who I could see building a life with. Of course I was hesitate to get to know this man due to the fear he would leave me or end up hurting me emotionally. I took a leap of faith and got to know him. This has brought on a relationship that is now nearly 12 years old. -
Motherhood(Generativity vs Stagnation)
On this day in May I become a mother. My life forever changed and I was now caring for another human and not just myself. With breastfeeding, teaching my daughter to speak, walk, and so much more... This stage of my life is ongoing as I am still caring for and teaching now both my daughters many things.
