I turn 25 in less than a month. I’ve been with my boyfriend who I actually see a future with for over 1.5 years. We recently moved in together. I’ve always hated kids and never wanted them. Never wanted kids, never wanted marriage, never wanted anything “traditional”.

I’ve noticed since I was around 20 I VERY slowly started wanting kids more. However never actually WANTING kids, more just having moments here and there where I saw the good sides or thought a particular child was cute. But the bad stuff always seemed so extremely horrendous that it always overpowered anything good.

Now the past few months or so I’ve suddenly had this growing desire to have a baby. I don’t know why. It’s kind of annoying me as I’ve always hated kids and never wanted them and never understood why anyone would and even got annoyed at my boyfriend for wanting them, calling him brainwashed.

But now I just keep imagining having a baby/child/teenager and imagining the good parts of it and really liking it and wanting it. Every time I see a baby it excites me and I think they’re so cute. Even if they’re crying, I imagine myself trying to soothe them.

What is this?! God damn mother nature, why?!
