My mom made a comment today about how she would have liked it if I’d had kids. You guys, I am 28. I am not 50. I am not even fucking 35. I haven’t had a serious relationship in a few years, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had any relationships at all. There’s been dudes.  Anyway, it really fucking bothered me. Most of the time this whole societal pressure thing doesn’t get to me because you know, I made a choice. I could have married my boyfriend, and stayed at home with him and the cat watching Netflix forever. But, I wasn’t ready for it. I needed to get out and fuck up some more. I needed to take care of some shit. And so, I did. And you know, it was worth it. It still is. So you know, fuck it, I am a spinster. She’s right, I’ll probably never get married or have kids. But, it still hurts to hear someone else say it. It makes me feel like everything I’ve done is totally worthless because I don’t have a kid or a man around.
