You know, you know, am I supposed to go on this course and this different road now to experience who I am and what I truly want in this chapter of my life?

You know, yes, I'd like a child, but is that meant to be?

You know, I know that I don't want to say like a child on my own before I got into a relationship with my boyfriend.

Even my friends would have said to me, oh, would you do it on your own?

And I just said, no, I wouldn't do it on my own.

That's something I don't want.

But even that as well, I had to ask myself all those questions because you see people out there, they're having babies by themselves with donors.

And I think it's amazing.

It's so inspiring.

It's so empowering.

But that's another question I had to ask myself.

Do I want to do that on my own?

And I had to figure that out by myself because my mom was even like, oh, would you get your baby?

your eggs frozen and for a time I was thinking do I and then I'm like no I don't want to do that right now I know obviously I'm turning 40 but that could change by the end of the year this is the thing we all have a choice to change all the time and that's something then I had to make up myself and I think then moving back home like I live with my dad and I'm very grateful I get to live with my dad and

And a lot of us are in the same position that, you know, I'm 39 living at home and I thought, God, you know, I nearly feel like a failure that I have to live at home.

But sometimes I'm like, I get to live at home.

I'm very lucky I get to live at home because a lot of us are in that position.

And I shared this on my socials as well about

trying to save for my own place as well due to the current climate with the housing crisis and the amount of people that were writing back on the TikTok that I put up about, you know, trying to save.

I feel like I'll never get there with the house prices.
