The Struggle Is Real: A Single Mom Trying To Provide

Chapter 1: (Ariella)

Hi my name is Ariella Jones, I am 24 years old. I have a little girl named Ariyona Jones she is two years old. And she is the reason I grind hard like I do. But anyways let me tell you a little more about myself. I am mixed with black and Puerto Rican. (My mom is black and my dad is Puerto Rican). My dad is on drugs real bad so i haven't seen him in like two years. And for my mom lets just say she is very independent and raised me on her on. Kinda just like i am doing with my daughter. So let me tell you about my daughters dad (#spermdonor!) I told him i was pregnant and he told me to get rid of it. Because he is married and got 6 kids with 3 babymamas. And he can't keep hurting his wife. Ya'll i felt like my heart was ripped out stepped on, and shredded into a million pieces. I was not aware at all. Like we use to be together 24/7. So I asked him how is that possible if I am always at your crib? He tells me that his wife is overseas cuz she in the Navy. And the two kids he got from her are with his mom. I never met his mom because he says there not close. So yea Dallas made it hard for me to get with anybody.  But since that day I have been taking care of my baby girl on my own every since. Enough about that clown. Any who I am originally from Albany, Georgia but I moved to ATL to go to school. And I am working at this bs job called LT's Soul Food Heaven (made up by the way). Don't get me wrong I am grateful for the job. But I am barely making it with this little pay. I get paid lesser than minimum wage. How am I gonna pay bills, pay for school, and most important take care of my baby girl? The Struggle is really real right now.

I hope ya'll enjoy this chapter. This is my first book so please tell me if u
