It's the weekend!
And I've rewarded myself, as promised. I have decided to be more open to being in a romantic relationship and also to giving birth to a child.
My ex-boyfriend (who was 4 years my senior) and I broke up 7 years ago. I haven't had a serious relationship since then. That seems like a long time, but being a serial-dater hasn't been on my top list of priorities. I like to date with a purpose.
There are so many reasons to be single, but there may be even more reasons to be in love. And still even more incentive to raise a family with the one you love.
"Getting married and having kids makes you live longer!" Lol.
Not to be capriciously sardonic, but yes, that was a joke.
In all seriousness, I've moved on from the stifling period of my life in which I was with one of the most controlling, stagnating guys ever. I'm ready to see how it feels to enjoy being in a partnership, a 2-person team.
Finally, I have become open to giving birth. I would like for my future children's dad to be present; thus, the wait. But I feel closer to ready than I was before. But not quite ready.
My credit score needs repairing. And I have a few pounds to drop. And, I have to be in a relationship first in order to get married and/or have kids. (This isn't a given for everyone).
Also, a significant other makes the perfect taste-tester when trying recipes. I love to dote on a boyfriend, when I have one. And eventually, I'll love having kids and being a mom.
Whose to blame for the sudden baby fever?
A book by my favorite author and a visit to the local women's center for a family member's appointment. The sonographer at the appointment said that her baby was 'swimming' in the womb. It's arms were making swim-like movements! How adorable!
But before having kids, many conditions and criteria have to be met by both me and the potential father. Either way, the idea has become a future reality. That's more than I can say for the rigid, icy person I was last year. Besides I've been having dreams about puppies and forests, which symbolizes springtime and fertility.
It could be fun. The most reassuring fact about pregnancy: it's completely possible and totally safe to hit the gym while carrying a child. That's very important to me.
Maybe I'll have great news about this very topic in the next couple of years.
