We might try, but it’s nigh unto impossible. Especially in a world with archaic and bondage like gender stereotypes of mothers just sitting there simmering just below the surface of conscious thought.
Here’s my rather vivid take on what it feels like if you make the decision to be a mother without really understanding the cost.
I think you are so very wise to consider this choice mindfully. It’s a blessing, but it’s kind of like one of those blessings that come festooned with multiple curses. Tricky.
Congrats on your Medium success btw. Yay for introverts writing during quarantine. Is that odd to cheer for?
You might enjoy my posts too. There’s overlap in our topics.
Blessings!
