5 分钟Hi friends, it's Rosie here.
Welcome to Radio Headspace and to Wednesday.
So when I was younger,
I had this very clear idea of what I wanted my life to look like by a life scripting.
The idea was just as the title says, script your life as you want it to be.
So I wrote that by the time I was 30, I'd be married,
have some kids, and my career would feel a certain way.
And I'd have it all figured out.
But as many of us know, what's that quote about the best laid plans?
As you guessed it, yes, life happens.
No one prepares you for the reality that some things just don't happen on the timeline you expect.
No one tells you, what if, like,
you enter early menopause when you thought you'd still have time to start a family?
No one talks about the grief of a fertility journey that doesn't result in the outcome you dreamed of.
And for a while, I saw that as a failure.
I kept asking myself, where did I go wrong?
I obsessed over every decision, every moment that could have led me to a different outcome.
I remember sitting on my bathroom floor after yet another doctor's appointment,
holding on to hope that was slipping through my fingers.
I wasn't just mourning the possibility of motherhood.
