I've felt similar in many ways - since being young I've wanted kids, and dream often about that relationship.... thank you for these words

Gustaf, I am so glad they feel resonant. Somehow, it feels like a shameful or taboo thing to share that you want kids in today's world, but it inspires so much hope in me.

Thank you, beloved Adele. It feels scary to be this raw on the internet, and yet so wonderful to be so tenderly received. Sending you so much love.
