Do you want kids? You don’t have to answer, but do you? Want kids? Don’t you ever think you’ll regret not having them? Aren’t you afraid once you get old, no one will take care of you? That you’ll be lonely when people around you die and no one’s tied to you? Haven’t you considered you’re overthinking the decision? Don’t you like kids? But you’re so great with them! It isn’t your relationship, is it? Is it him? Doesn’t he want to? Or do you not want to, but he does? Can’t you have kids? Did you try IVF? For a long time? I only ask because we want to be there for you. Doesn’t your age bother you? You are too late now though, right? I mean, you don’t regret not trying to have kids when your chances were better? You can’t live, not knowing what being a parent is like, can you? Right now, there’s no life in your house, doesn’t that sting?

Does it matter what I say? Can you read my honesty? Will you acknowledge it & me? Or will we continue to dance around your confirmation bias? Are you hoping my choices will affirm yours? Does it make you feel good, to define me by something I don’t have? Even if I don’t want it? Can you determine my void? Will I have to balance the score? Or could I say: I am what I have to offer amid the fragility? Would you believe me? Or do you prefer to think of me as less, just because it makes you feel on top? –
On top of what?
