yes, yes, and yes! i'm so afraid of getting pregnant, and i always felt this way, because my mother got pregnant as a teenager. pregnancy and having kids is scary as hell, and as someone who had toxic/abusive parents who traumatized me, i know how a parent can damage a child. i'm getting close to 30 and i'm still not sure if i'll ever want kids, and i'm fine with that. it sucks that society views us as selfish and as less than a woman who has kids, but i'm at a point in my life where i don't care anymore. i don't care anymore about my family asking me when i'll get married and have kids, or if they'll be disappointed with me not having kids. and it feels great! being depressed for most of my life, all i want to do is live life to the fullest. being successful means the world to me, i can relate a lot to how you feel about that, about all the things you want to do... i'm living proof that a miserable mother is the worst possible thing that can happen to a child, my mother never wanted me but was forced to have me, and the consequences of that were 27 years of trauma and depression for her child. i think more women should talk about that, it's so important!
Omg Aurora!! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for being so vulnerable. I appreciate your perspective on this and I hope you’ve been able to alchemize the pain and suffering into something amazing and will continue to do so 🩷🩷🩷
This hits me in all my feels — and so much of it resonates very deeply. My only lifeline in this conversation / whole being a multidimensional person tied to a ticking clock is to trust my gut (even if it's not the status quo thinking) and believe that if I do that, it will all work out the way it's meant to. 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much, Christina. I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment and I can’t wait to see pictures of you in front of the Eiffel Tower!

Yes, thank you for sharing that. I whole heartedly believe that we need to follow our intuition and trust ourselves! 🫶🏻
