Wow. Aged 20 I had a child in the same year, 2007. Thankyou to the author.
This was/is my story too.
As my first born grows, I too continue to grow however, society isn't overly kind to young parents. And the experience of navigating daycare, your childs school, and your own workplace was a challenge when you don't resonate with other mothers, nor are accepted.
At the end of the day, I too studied, completed a health degree with research honours, and now own an allied health practice. In my mid 30s I feel like I've climbed a mountain to get here, and fatigue has set in, but I too am so grateful for the journey. My child is the best thing I have ever done. Although others my own age have lived entirely different lives, adventured, and travelled the world I've learnt there is no right or wrong time to do things. And your journey shapes who you are, and I am forever thankful for mine too.
Thanks for sharing ❤
