Battling my fertility has forced me to change how I think.

I’ve realised that for the most part of my adult life I have been misguided as to what my purpose is not only as a human being but as a female. I’ve always felt that it was my job to bring new life into the world, to breed, to produce offspring, however lately I have come to find that the idea of that is taken far too literally. Maybe the idea to breed is to breed new ideas and ways of thinking into the world. Maybe the new life that we are supposed to bring into the world is a new way of living. As a woman who suffers with fertility issues I’ve always feared that I will not be able to meet my purpose, but now, from looking at the idea in a different perspective I’ve realised that maybe meeting my purpose might not be the run of the mill idea that is drummed into us as we grow up, but something completely different yet equally as important and fulfilling.
