I met Michał when I was 18. It was love at first sight, although some of our friends didn’t give us a chance. They believed that at this age it is impossible to create a lasting relationship. Of course, I was worried about it, but I trusted my intuition. A year later I found out that I am in . I was 19 years old. Our families, although they were surprised, supported us a lot and were happy that our family would grow. Our friends had a completely different approach to this.
Although no one has ever directly told us what he thinks about the situation and about the fact that we will be young parents, we know that behind our backs most of them laughed and were happy that they were not “loading in diapers”, but us. I was aware that it would be hard, after all, our lives were about to change 180 degrees. A little man was to appear in the world, for whom we would be responsible for the rest of our lives. Our daughter Lilianna was born a few days after I turned 20. My daughter changed our lives, taught us patience and appreciating the smallest things. For the first three months it was really hard, sleepless nights and food overload was a total surprise for me, but I knew that I couldn’t give up and I had to make it. While I was taking care of the child at home, Michał worked in his uncle’s garage. We lived with my parents, but I knew that the moment would come when we would be able to move out and start living on our own. Our friends were partying and enjoying “freedom”, thinking we missed it. Of course, having a small child, you can’t be spontaneous, but we managed to go out or go to the club more than once. Good organization and help from relatives helped us not to lose our youth and enjoy its charms.
After a year, my daughter went to nursery, and I went to work. For a whole year I was training in the field of social media and I managed to find a job in this direction. We started to prosper, we moved out of our parents’ house and rented an apartment. We even bought a car. After a few years we met our old friends. They were surprised that we did so well. During a short conversation, they said that they actually envy us that we already have such an organized life, because when we had to grow up very quickly, they didn’t think about it at all and now, at 28, they are wondering what they want to do in life. I hope that eventually people will stop judging others and making fun of them for being either young parents or old.
Carolina.
