Beautifully written, your best piece written so far. You are most definitely pondering over the most challenging question for women. I’ve always been firm about wanting to be child-free. Be prepared that many, if not most, people will tell you, ‘Ah, you’ll change your mind’. I turned 40 this year, and the same question came to me. At the time of my life, I’ve got to decide indefinitely, or it might be too late…
Thanks for the kind words, Jana. And thanks for sharing your decision too. I'm aware some people might raise eyebrows when expressing that having children might not be the best option for me, but I also want to think that we're lucky enough to live in a time and place where it's becoming more normal to choose different life paths than what's been the "standard" to this day. Like I said toward the end, I can't be sure what I'll think in 5-10 years, but I'm happy I get the privilege to question what I want. Something that previous generations didn't have.
