dreamed last night that two people i loved were pregnant. when the first gave birth we were all so happy that i told my husband i wanted to be pregnant within two months. everyone in the dream was so happy and we were all thrilled. i woke up in a very good mood, but as i began to truly wake up the reasoning portion of my brain spoke up.
***let me here state that the following is specific to me in this portion of my life. no one is expected to act the same, everyone must act according to their own heart***
i have much more to get past and experience and live before i bring a baby into this world. if i deny myself the needs and expectations i have for my life experience just to follow what culture/society says is what you're supposed to do, well then i've just shat on everything our grandmothers, mothers, and aunts have ever worked for. the right to live a fulfilled life in every sense of the word.to be able to have the same opportunities as our male counterparts, and not to be ridiculed or called selfish for taking them. i will not allow my reproductive state to be dictated or challenged by any but my husband and myself. motherhood is a beautiful thing and no woman should be told when or how she should enjoy it.
