Dear Family
I know this is going to come as a shock to you, especially as I near my 30th birthday and remain unmarried, single and childless, but I’m going to be okay. I’m not unfulfilled, depressed or lonely. I’m sure as fuck not less of a woman because of these three things. I don’t need to hear about how being unmarried and childless at 30 is going to lead to a lonely life as I edge closer to old age (also, while we’re at it, since when did 30’s equal old age?) at every opportunity. And please stop sending me links to articles about declining female fertility after age 35. And links to sperm banks. Because I do not need you to tell me what I should be doing with my body. Just stop. Thank you and have a nice day.
