Loved the details! I felt so good reading this, thank youu. I am almost the same age as you, and I think of this a lot. Some think I'm not ambitious enough, but I really want to do it all. I want to build my career but also a family. I am a woman, and I really love the fact that I am. I want motherhood!

I was talking with my girls today itself, about pregnancy and babies, we discussed how motherhood is often celebrated, worshipped and revered. But all of the pressure falls on the mother thanks to the toxic glorification of it. What we need in today's world is gentle fatherhood that blends perfectly with motherhood. Both contribute to the healthy development of a child in its own ways, to make the child adept in honing both the masculine and feminine traits. To embrace it's own gender and qualities with love, and empathize with the opposite one. This piece really related to that thought process and reflected that fatherhood is scared and important too, in its own way ofcourse.

Great post 🙏 At 37 I've had some chances to become a dad in the past, and I wish I had. It wouldn't have been perfect by any means, but it would have brought a unique kind of joy that has always been missing. I don't say this out of regret, as there's still time, but as men we sometimes dull that feeling to pretend it doesn't exist. But it does exist and it always will. So if you get the chance, however imperfect the situation, embrace it.

I'm longing to be a father but due to genetic issues it seems unlikely. The pain is indescribable.
