The Power of Storytelling: Why I Started "Moments by Amalia"

Every moment with my daughter feels like a scene from a beautiful story—sometimes messy, sometimes magical, but always meaningful. “Moments by Amalia” was born from this deep desire to hold on to those fleeting seconds, to turn ordinary days into extraordinary memories. As a solo parent, I’ve realized that storytelling isn’t just about sharing—it’s about healing, remembering, and connecting. This blog is more than just a digital diary. It’s a space where love, struggle, and hope come together.

Here’s why I started “Moments by Amalia,” and why storytelling has become such a powerful part of my life.

 Storytelling Helps Me Preserve the Precious Moments

Raising a child on your own means you become both the keeper and the witness of all their firsts. The first laugh, the first step, the first scraped knee. I started this blog to keep those memories alive—not just in my heart, but in words and pictures that Amalia can revisit someday.

As time passes, memories fade. But stories? Stories endure. Writing about our everyday adventures helps me capture the raw, unfiltered beauty of motherhood. It’s not always picture-perfect, but it’s real. And real is worth remembering.

 It’s a Way to Process and Heal

Being a single mom is not easy. There are days filled with self-doubt, exhaustion, and quiet tears behind closed doors. I grew up facing my own hardships, and part of my motivation is to make sure Amalia never feels the kind of pain I once did. Writing has become my therapy—a safe space to pour out emotions I can’t always say out loud.

Through storytelling, I’ve come to embrace not just the joys, but also the struggles. Sharing them openly has helped me feel less alone. And surprisingly, it’s helped others feel seen, too. When someone messages me saying, “I feel this,” or “Thank you for sharing your heart,” I’m reminded of how storytelling can build bridges between souls who’ve never even met.

To Inspire and Empower Others Like Me

I know I’m not the only one walking this path. There are so many mothers out there raising their children with fierce love, even when the world feels heavy. “Moments by Amalia” is my way of saying—you are not alone.

I want this blog to be a light for others. A reminder that you don’t need a perfect life to have a beautiful one. That strength isn’t loud, and resilience isn’t always seen. Sometimes, it’s in the quiet way we choose to keep going, to keep loving, to keep showing up.

If my stories can offer even a sliver of hope to someone struggling, then every post is worth it.

“Moments by Amalia” began as a simple idea: to document my daughter’s childhood. But it has grown into something much more—an emotional lifeline, a source of strength, and a voice for the quiet warriors of motherhood. Storytelling, for me, is both an anchor and a compass. It grounds me in the present and guides me forward with purpose.

If you’ve ever felt the need to share your own story—do it. Whether it’s through writing, photography, voice notes, or quiet reflections, your story matters. And if you’re a parent, a dreamer, or someone just trying to navigate life, I invite you to walk with me through “Moments by Amalia.” Read, share, connect. Let’s celebrate the beauty in the ordinary and find strength in our stories.

Because sometimes, the most powerful stories are the ones that come from the heart.
