Second Look-Second Chance Idol, Week 3

[____hejira]

I've always been somewhat of a wanderer. Some would call me a kinesthetic learner, others would call me directionless. In any event, I have made my own way in life and accomplished (or failed) at whatever I set my hand to on my own terms. I've made some horrible life choices, but also have many successes to my name.

This is totally normal, and it's ok to change your desires/priorities. For some people, having children never shows up on their radar and for others it it happens quicker or slower. It's ok to be liberated and smart and still want a baby.

When I was a teenager, I read somewhere that 23 was the perfect age to have a baby, so got it in my head that that was when I was going to have one. As I got closer to 23, I decided I could wait a couple years. 25 would be okay. As 25 approached, I thought, well, 27 isn't too late. I can start having kids at 27. Now, I'm 28 and doing the same thing you are, "trying fervently not to give the infant next to me on the train a second look."

Good luck, and I'm sure everything will work out exactly the way it's supposed to. ^_^
