If my life mimicked that of my mother's, I would have a three-week-old daughter right now, a husband, a career and a shitty apartment about two mintues from the beach in Hawaii. Thank god it doesn't.
Instead, I have no child, no living creature that completely relies on me for survival, no husband, no boyfriend, no girlfriend, no career, or an apartment.
I do have independence, understanding of myself, friends, comfort, and the ability to leave at any given moment.
My mom told me today that I need to find a guy so I can become one of the "breaders." Outwardly, she was joking. Inwardly, it was a plea for me to be "normal" and "happy" by the time I'm thirty.
All I can say is that I don't justify the happiness in my life on whether I have a potential family or not. I look at what I have accomplished as a human-being, as Delilah, and what I can accomplish in the future. And right now, it doesn't involve having a child or an apartment.
Take that Mummy.

Although, just to keep your mother happy, I'm willing to submit my application.
