If I take myself for example, these same pressures are precisely what made me feel trapped in the life I was living and made me realize it wasn’t too late to make a change and that I needed to. If you want to start a business, do it. If you want to write and travel the world, do it. If you don’t want to have kids, stick to it. If you want to be a mom with a professional career, go for it. If you want to be a stay at home mom, do that too. My point is that you need to have your own vision for what you desire for your life. This way you can better focus your efforts and resources towards achieving that vision rather than someone else’s.
