School and Parenting

Everyone knows that being a young mother is hard and a lot of work. You know that it can be too much for some and it can lead to hardship. People are so hard on young mothers, as if what she is going through isn't enough on it's own.
When I start my blogs, I don't usually know where I'm going with my thoughts. I just start writing and see where I end up. But today I have felt heavy and I miss my kids. School is such an opportunity and I love my instructor and my class and I am learning so much, however I don't get to spend nearly as much time with Ayla and Marley. Nothing weighs on my heart as much as missing them.
As I go into class this morning, I long for them and I want to call out and go see them. I however am aware that I need to push through. It will be so worth it in the end.
My thoughts in this post are mostly in the realm of helping myself push through. You think you understand true love until you have kids. Only then do you truly get what it is to love someone so completely. I will, have, and am moving mountains for those two little girls and I am determined to see this through.

New Blog

My name is Cierra Trayner, and I am mostly starting this blog for myself. I am 20 years old and have a little girl, Ayla James who is turning one on Monday, April 10. And while she is the light of my life, being a single mom is really hard. This post will be mainly talking about who I am and just a little about my situation. I was in my freshman year of college at Arizona State as a Chemical Engineering major when I found out I was pregnant. I didn't even know until i was 9 weeks (2 months), I thought I simply had a bad case of  the stomach flu. One of my closest friends, Sarah picked me up and was with me when I took the test. When it came up positive she told me about this group she was part of called Younglives ( a subdivision of Younglife for young mommas). She brought me to my first meeting and introduces me to other young moms and helped me a lot through a really hard time. I am not lying when I say that Younglives saved my daughters life. I am the mom I am today because of...

Dead Beat Dad

Yesterday was one of the hardest days I have had in a very long time. My heart was completely shattered by Ayla's father, Seth. For a few weeks now, he had made the choice to be in Ayla's life and pay child support and work together with me to raise Ayla so that she had both of her parents in her life. Everything seemed to be going well and we were kind and I even let him meet Ayla. It was only for an hour at a McDonald's, just so he could see her and he and I could have our first face to face interaction since I was 3-4 months pregnant. It was nerve wracking to see him and I had to rein in a lot of harbored anger I had towards him for abandoning us. I had decided that forgiveness was the best way to approach the situation, for Ayla's sake. This man is a runner, so I knew if I confronted him on his inappropriate behavior he would just walk away again. This entire time I have been kind and understanding, and I had made the choice to put the past behind us and try to ev...

Self Worth

So, when I was in high school, I was bullied and teased a lot. I was that girl that everyone picked on. I was too fat, then too thin, then repulsive, then a whore, and so many other things. What a lot of people don't know is that I believed every word people said about me. I hated myself and kept changing to make people like me, but they would just find new names to call me. High school is rough, for almost everyone. No one really feels like they fit in. This post is going to be a lot more personal, and I am going to talk about something I have been hiding for years. When I was 14, I had a friend who I was head over heels for. He lived down the street from me and we rode the bus together every day. He was absolutely gorgeous (and still is). All I wanted was for him to notice me. One day, after school, we were hanging out in the green belt by his house, sitting against a wall tossing pebbles at a tree. We were just talking about life and school and whatever, until out of no where...
