You know, I don't think being unable to have a baby is a tiny, privileged problem. I think it's worth having feelings about, and I hope you do get pregnant pretty soon.
Thank you. Sometimes, it's hard to gauge if the things I'm worrying about are something that I'd get slammed for (especially on the internet). So, it's kind of nice to know that other people are thinking good thoughts about it. If that makes any sense :D
Some people always think that other people's issues are trivial. Some people also think that only privileged people want to have babies. The fact is that wanting to have a baby is a normal, compelling, healthy desire, and it doesn't mark you out as a narcissicist.
(there's a way to test this. Are the women who were forcibly sterilized as part of a eugenics problem whining when they speak of how much it hurt them to have that taken from them? No, right? Then it's not whining to express feelings about having trouble getting pregnant, in general. -- some people who are otherwise priovileged, self-centered prats also have trouble conceiving, and those people do go around whining and demanding special treatment that they do not grant that others should have. But that's its own thing: it's not every woman who wants a baby and is having trouble getting one)
Although, now that I think about it, being in a sort of icky mindset would be best for writing Basil XD. I do feel a bit better about getting some of it out though, so I guess Shrek was right LOL.
Floating in the ether, since the hard drive evidently wasn't the problem with the computer. In the story, he's gone a bit batshit crazy, but I forsee some calm in his future.
