As seldom, in an interview with Elle, music diva Beyonce recounted the life, career, and hardships she faced before becoming a mother. Before her daughter, Blue Ivy, the singer experienced abortions, which, she said, made her learn a lot.
â??Success looks different to me now. The fact that I had an abortion taught me that I had to be the 'mother' of myself before I was someone else's mother. Then came Blue and the purpose of my life became much deeper. I died and reborn in my relationship and the demands on myself became even stronger. To be number 1 was no longer my priority. My real victory was to create art and leave a legacy that will live long. This is fulfillment, â?she said.
Bey added that now that she has become a mother and that her body has been transformed, she still feels safe in herself. The hardest thing for her? Like any career mom, Beyonce finds it difficult to balance things. To accompany the big girl to school, or the twins Rumi and Sir to other activities, find the time to devote to the spouse, arrive on time to dine with the family and in turn give the maximum at work, is very stressful for her.
Ah, so too does Beyonce hate when people online ask if she's pregnant. As the diva herself says, let her ovaries rest!
