There are moments where I feel how I'm missing out on the family love, the warmth, the good days.
I think pregnancy, child birth and feeding a baby from your own body is quite a thing to experience, despite all the difficulties.. to experience your body doing this magical work on its own.. And the connection you get with another human, that you created an offspring.

Then I am sipping my coffee, practising my qigong, my art and basically having arranged my life in a way to experience what my parents couldn't provide me, happiness, joy, lightness and appreciation of being. Family life was extremely chaotic and I feel like I have exceeded the chaos I can endure in a single lifetime.

I like it quiet and peaceful. Though I love children's innocent eyes, freshness, laughter, light. It is what it is... And I am good the way things have turned out.
