Thank you for writing this. There are so many of us who are childless and have not accomplished something outstanding. Why isn’t it enough that I have lived life, and supported myself in the process? Why is having a child an outstanding accomplishment? You have set down in writing what many woman think - an accomplishment if you ask me.
Loved this post. A disclaimer, I am married with one adult child. Your depiction of what you would paint is amazing. No one, parent or not, should be judged for their role. It is clear in this post that you are a talented and beautiful soul. Please continue with your wonderful work!
Loved this - I've been struggling to write a post on the "grand" life for awhile, but you put to words a lot of what I wanted to say. Let's see if I manage anything later.
I'm enjoying the recent social media trend glamorizing, instead of grandiosity, a life of "softness". The "soft life". The life in which you read, write, make tea, and feel no exalted desire to do anything else.
I love this so much! Your search for role models without children reminded me of this amazing book, Harpy, by Caroline Magennis: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/205893714-harpy She gets deep into how childless women are overlooked or stigmatised in art, literature, other media, and points towards a fulfilling future 💝
