How Becoming a Single Mom Amplified My Value and Transformed My Life

“Your value will come back when your daughter turns 18.”
That’s what a man on a dating app told me.

But contrary to popular opinion —
Becoming a single mother didn’t diminish my value.
It amplified it.

If anything, I’m more valuable because of the person I’ve become.
I’m sober and nicotine-free.
I eat healthier.
I go to sleep early and wake up early.
I move my body through yoga.
I’m pursuing my passions with fearlessness and determination.
I’m mentally stable, with a strong sense of purpose.
I’m more motivated, productive, and fulfilled than ever before.

I am the best version of myself.

This isn’t just a phase or an ‘era’ —
It’s my new lifestyle, and it’s only going to continue getting better.

I won’t be boxed into a negative category.
