I'm Privileged, Because I Have A Lot

My Parents Came From A Poor Background And Worked Their Way Up Because Of Education. They Saw It As A Way To Succeed. So They Cared About Me Getting Straight A Grades When I Was Growing Up.

I Would Roll Up Pennies To Take The Subway To Work In Times Square. I Was Broke, But I Was Happy.

I Wish I Was One Of Those Cute Pregnant Girls Who Wear Skinny Jeans Throughout Their Pregnancies. But I Just Gain Weight.

I Wasn't A Woman Who Stayed Tiny Like I Thought I Would. I Definitely Gave Myself The Freedom To Eat What I Wanted.

I Have This Internal Battle Between, I Need To Work, I Need To Work, I Need To Work And I Need To Be Home With My Kids. And The Kids Win.
