She got married in 2009 and like many other girls, she began a life she dreamed of. This new life was in a new city, far from her hometown, with different people around, different cuisine and language, you know it's India when the cuisine, attire, the language, or at least the dialect changes after a few kilometers. She enjoyed almost every single day. She and her husband traveled went to parties and invited people to their parties. Life was good, being a wife to a decent, well-behaved, and loving husband. This is all she wanted.
Then she became a mother. Sleepless nights, restless days, crying baby, and not many to help. She did get help in the initial days of her motherhood but as time passed, she was left to take care of the baby on her own. Of course, when you wish for a child, it's you who takes care of it. Not that the husband didn't want to assist her in the household like many husbands (fathers or men) do in this world, he didn't really have a choice in it. He was busy with the job. And as the only breadwinner of the family, he had to work. Life as a happy wife went for a long walk and didn't seem to return. Life as a mother came with all its challenges at a swift pace and didn't seem to go.
She seemed to have accepted the truth that her life, as a mom, is all about her child. This is what she has until, at least, the next couple of years of her life. Sadistic yet true. Years went by until her child entered the school and she had the task to teach her daughter. In India, when you send your kid to school, you don't, maybe some of you do that but the majority don't, just want the child to enjoy and choose a life of its own but you wish the child to excel in anything and everything it participates. She got busy with her child's education thinking this is what she must do, that she enjoys, loves, and is the only thing she can excel in, and that this is her duty as a mother.
Until 2021, the 3rd quarter of the year, when she got an opportunity to substitute an English teacher for taking classes online. This is where the lioness tasted the blood. The time she'd never forget, the time that changed her life forever, and the time she realized, she is an individual. She is, indeed, a daughter, a wife, and a mother but above all an individual, who has her own life and deserves to do things that make her happy and alive. She taught as a substitute teacher for a few months only to grab an amazing position as a class teacher in an extremely reputed school in India. She is still a mother to her daughter but a teacher to so many other daughters and sons. Life as a happy individual seems to have returned with new destinations and lessons.
As a parent, we must support our children with whatever they wish to do in life, education of course belongs to that category but forgetting that our own life exists is wrong, subjectively speaking.
