The door is open, coffee can be made in minutes. You’ve got no one and nothing to impress. You’ll be welcomed but happy little faces, and the enveloping feeling of a home full of love. So maybe next time skip the invite and ask if we’re up for coffee there’s a good chance, I’ve already been planning on telling you to just come over instead anyways.

For years, I hid these stories because I wanted to fit in, to be normal, to have regular childhood experiences – whatever those were supposed to be

As an adult, I’m happy I had the hands-off, learn-to-entertain-yourself childhood I did. We weren’t always technological Luddites. We still watched cartoons and played shitty Flash games, but we weren’t pawned off or pushed in front of a screen by the adults. They didn’t plan out every second of our day, to make sure we were kept busy or productive. If we were bored, we were responsible for figuring out what to do ourselves.

Due to my ambitious career goals, I wanted to work and strike the iron while it was hot and then retire by the time my first child entered middle school

Initially, I wanted to begin homeschooling when my kids were in middle school. I wanted to spend those three very critical years of their development with them and I’m also a career lady—so this idea worked to my advantage. I couldn’t give up my career—it was not for the income or the accolades, it is a serious part of who I am. I thrive off of the mental stimulation and the professional challenges. You can throw me to the wolves, and I promise, I’ll return leading the pack—and I will enjoy every turn. You couldn’t take that away from me.

In the 2nd grade, all everyone cared about was candy, LEGOs and having playdates, not realizing that you needed green pieces of paper or plastic rectangles to get what you wanted

This kind of lifestyle never really died out for me until my first year in college. In my head, I still thought that to be attractive to girls, you had to have a lot of money and spoil them. I thought that in order to be academically successful, you needed the best computer, the most expensive education. My parents hammered over and over again into my brain that in order to become successful, you had to be rich. It was all about the money.

Dating again post-vaccine has prompted me to ask some important questions about the direction I want my life to go from here

This interaction made me think about my reasoning behind my decision regarding having kids. I plan to examine these questions in the coming weeks through this blog. Don’t worry, I’m not changing blog formats again, I’m just examining some questions related to getting back out into the “new normal.”

Whether it has to be on the computer, doing business, or writing a blog, I want to do it in an environment I genuinely love

I know from my heart that if I spend my time wisely and establish it all in place before having kids, I’ll always explore frequently with my 20-something years of freedom with what I have achieved. That is the way I want to do it.

We all have a different story to tell and have gone through different obstacles, triumphs and experiences. All of these things mold us into a unique person and all of these things create the unique life that we are living. From a different point of view, you should also respect the descision of other people on how they want to live their lives.

Why do I have to feel like I need to justify myself though?

When I was a kid, I didn’t ask myself such a question because I’ve always thought it was the thing to do, the purpose of every woman, the reason we find a partner and get married… It’s only when I turned 30 that I realised my mum would have been pregnant for the second time by that age. And I didn’t feel like I was going to be ready myself anytime soon. I heard a lot of comments such as “You’re turning 30 now, the clock is ticking!” but deep down I think I already knew it wasn’t for me. I didn’t know for sure until my little sister fell pregnant, almost 3 years ago. She announced it with pictures and I cried when I realised she was telling me she had a bun in the oven. I cried with joy, the news made my sister and her husband so happy.
