You're totally speaking to one of the many reasons I don't want to have kids. The burden on me would be extremely disproportionate to the burden on my partner, and HE'S the one that wants kids. I'm not willing to sign up for that kind of commitment, to be fully responsible for other lives, while he is only partially responsible.
And this example of you cultivating community and support in your life, while intentionally staying in touch with your humanity and individuality, is so inspiring. I'm really determined to have more of that in my own life.
This! Ugh. Love. Chef's kiss.
