When I was 18 (going on 19) I got pregnant.
It was hard.
It was really frigging hard.
I didn’t know what to do
I didn’t have who to confide in (certainly not my parents).
I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t think.
I was only a confused teenager who let fun and life happen to her.
I was obsessed with my condition.
I didn’t know if I should abort or let the child grow.
I had no inkling on what to do.
All I had was the foetus in my head.
Yes.
You read that right.
The foetus (or should I say the baby) in my head.
I was pregnant with an idea when I was 18 going on 19
An idea that led me to take different routes to arrive at a particular destination
And guess what.
One of such routes is this post you are reading.
Ria Kosher is the baby I conceived when I was 18.
It’s the idea that has led me to take different routes such as starting up a web fashion magazine, Svelte Magazine, an email list, and embarking on a 100-day consistency journey of doing fashion.
I decided to dare myself to do fashion on Twitter for 100 days.
All because of the baby I conceived when I was 18.
But there’s a bittersweet truth though…
I didn’t abort that foetus.
I kept her.
And she’s still a toddler who is yet to start walking.
I mean, she’s still crawling though I’m showing her how to stand.
I want you to join me in showing her how to stand, walk and in due time…run too.
I want you to join me in leading her,
the way I show you how to do fashion.
So, in due time, my baby not only walks and runs but also flies too.
You know they always say that it is a community that owns a child and not the parents alone.
You are my community.
Help me train and grow my baby, Ria Kosher.
