When we are single, we're asked if we're dating.
When we're dating, we're asked when's the wedding.
When we're married, we're asked when will we have kids.
When we become parents, we're asked when is the second child on the way.
When our kids grow up, we repeat the process with them, expecting them to date, get married and have several kids.
It's never ending and never enough.
Before I had Ivy, I often felt like I wasn't complete until I became a mom. And it wasn't because of how I actually felt about myself, but because of how some people questioned and spoke to me, as if I couldn't be fulfilled until I had checked off all the right boxes.
But what if we decided to be content exactly as we are today, right this moment. And in turn, took pressure off everyone around us.
We can be content single, or not.
We can be content with children, or not.
We can be content with grandchildren, or not.
Happiness is a choice, so instead of living in the waiting room of what we wish for or think we should have, let's choose to find joy in the life we have right now.
