“I feel like I was in my building years, and if I had had a baby. I’m not saying I wouldn’t have been able to do it, but I also feel like I needed to put everything into building. And now, I can welcome that.
“So when people, cuz I have a lot of friends who are like “oh I wish you had just done that in your marriage. Cuz if you had just done that, it would have been something you would have just checked off the list.
I’ve done it and moved on. And sometimes, I find myself thinking “Ah, maybe should I have” but then when I really think about it.”
