So, I’m in my mid-20s and have been feeling simultaneously too old and too young. i.e: Too young to fret about maternity leave but too old to not be realistic about my future family desires. Normal?

I think so. I’m late 20s and I still deal with this pretty frequently.

If you’re the type of person who thinks this way, you’re probably fine. Know that you’re pretty rationally minded and remind yourself to enjoy the unplanned and unexpected things in life.

Totally. What concerns you?
