I've had this moment of realization that I haven't lived for me in the last 15 years. I've taken care of everyone except for me. So really- do I want the last 15 years of freedom back or kids? My biological clock is ticking. Still have a few years but want to be young enough to be able to enjoy my kids. And I want multiple kids. This weeks session with my therapist will be great! 😂

I had always wanted kids but coming into my 30s and being single and enjoying this freedom / things I can afford without kids is slowly changing my mind and making me wonder. Same boat!
