When you really think about it, it is kind of funny how growing up, we were presented with a roadmap to life as if it is the only way to go. Graduate, find a partner, get married, have kids… did I miss anything? For the longest time, many of us believed that this is the path to happiness because… well, everyone else seems to be doing it.
But the older we get and the longer we date, we begin to realize that life is far more intricate and complex than that traditional narrative. Don't get me wrong, marriage and family are great and all. But that is not something you rush just to keep up with a timeline.
Instead of spending your early 20s worrying about marriage and kids, why not take the time and explore your own self? What do you like? What do you want out of life? How do you plan to get there? Once you have all that figured out, bringing a child into the world won't seem so scary anymore. In the meantime, I invite you to a scroll session of parenting memes to remind you to take your birth control!
