I can only echo Morrison’s character Sula: “I don’t want to make someone else.
The whole line I highlighted has another sentence: “i want to make myself.” It’s not showing up as highlighted now but it probably will at some point. I don’t know if this is why I thought for all those years that I didn’t want children, that there was so much damage I had to deal with in myself, but I feel so strong now that I hope one day to fall in love with someone so that one day after that I can discuss whether that person and I would want to have a child.
