Should I be a Parent?

I wanted to take a moment to share something deeply personal and close to my heart in this video. It's about a dilemma many of us face in our 20s - the decision between building a career and embracing parenthood.

FAVORITE BOOKS (by women):
📚 The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama (meant to be an encouraging book of hope during times of change and challenge. kinda like a devotional, but not really)
📚 Big Friendship by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman (put into words many of the feelings I feel about friendship not in the mainstream yet)
📚 Defining Decade by Meg Jay (really important to read as a teen girl or in your twenties)
📚 The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (yes ik ik it’s a romance novel)
📚 The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan (honestly helped my relationship with my mom tbh)
📚 Dear Girls by Ali Wong (listen to the audiobook, it’s 7h of standup comedy of this famous comedian’s life and advice to her two young daughters to read when they are 18)
📚 Hunger by Roxane Gay (harder read, but opened my eyes to a brutal world that I’m not exposed to)

FAVORITE QUOTES ABOUT FRIENDSHIP:
🖋 friends double the joy and halve the pain
🖋 friends are the siblings god never gave us.
🖋 a friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself. a friend is someone who makes it easy to believe in yourself. a friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
🖋 women’s friendships are like a renewable source of power
🖋 friendships between women, as any woman will tell you, are built of a thousand small kindnesses… swapped back and forth and over again.

    Found your video at the right time. Your story telling is amazing. Keep up the good work! I'm 25 years old now, still trying to figure out what to do in life, trying to find a purpose. Looking around, I see your friends getting married and having kids, it makes you feel left behind or still to immature to get there. Maybe I'm taking things slow, thinking more about career, building my own happy space rather than having kids. I honestly don't know if I wanna be a parent, or just live alone to enjoy, it's indeed crazy to think about how lives pivot the moment we turn 25.

    thank you :) it's a blessing that we get to choose and take our time. 25 is just 7years old in adulthood years (counting from 18), still so young.
