I want to talk about the sad – talking about the sad make sad go away

How does one talk about their feelings when their feelings make them want to take a lifelong vow of silence? I got one solution – and that is supportive people. All you really need is a good listener. But this is harder said than done. I’m an absolutely garbage listener, my brain interjects with perspectives and comments every two seconds while someone is speaking. It’s a curse, and it’s taken me a long time to quell my natural anxious mind in favour of patient listening. I’m still on that journey, ladies and gentlemen.

I always knew I wanted to start a family, but as someone who prioritises daily activity, I was worried about how I might continue to maintain my endorphin hungry lifestyle – both during pregnancy, and in my new life afterwards

I wanted someone to have the answer to my health problems

I wanted not to be with family and I wasn’t alone

I didn’t tell him that I wanted to be with him and if I saw that he wasn’t ready
