“It's almost as if - in being childfree yourself - you become everybody else's child: someone who needs taking care of, who needs guiding in the right direction, who doesn't quite understand, but bless her she's trying”
― How to Fail
― How to Fail
“I had really given it thought, but still, whenever I tried
to envision what it would be like to bring another human
being into this world and become half of the duo meant to
raise, protect, and love it unconditionally until death did
us part, I felt no inkling of interest or excitement to move
in that direction. Not once.
How was that possible? Motherhood as the epicentre of
women’s lives was all I’d ever witnessed, so how was it that
the centre was not there when it came to my own life?
Was I hollow, or was my centre elsewhere?”
