When I was younger, I was attracted to the idea of seeing how people think beyond my small circle of friends. Also, because sometimes, my own friends don't experience the same things as I do, and they cannot relate to what I am asking (e.g., using Reddit to check out conversations about buying your first apartment - most of my friends inherited their properties). But I somehow end up in different subreddits, and they're full of negativity about all aspects of life: parenthood, relationships, work, etc. I think the daily life of an average adult is stressful enough, and I don't wanna listen to all of this negativity. I understand there are things where you need to raise awareness (e.g., gov doing shitty things should be called out), but I am just fed up with people complaining and being bothered by everything.

This is one thing that is making me welcome this minimalism (sometimes more successful, sometimes not). And I definitely plan on going full minimalist if I ever become a parent.

I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this too.

All my life (30F), I imagined myself having at least one kid. Could have been social conditioning and my country's collectivist culture that had influenced it, but I never questioned it. It's funny, because I didn't have luck in love, and I was even determined to go abroad for a sperm donor to fulfill my dream of becoming a mother. Fast-forward to last year, when I met my partner. He's everything I ever wanted and more. If someone had given me a paper and a pencil to 'describe' a perfect guy, I don't think I would have been able to write such a good description.

And here's the weird part: many women say that they didn't want to have children until they met the right one. For me, it feels like for the first time in my life, I feel like the world wouldn't stop spinning if it were just the two of us for the rest of our lives.

We're still a 'fresh' couple, so despite being in our thirties, we're not trying for kids. At the beginning of our relationship, we discussed the topic and agreed that we both want kids.

I really wanted to discuss this phenomenon because I'm curious whether anyone else has felt this way. I really like kids, so the switch in my brain is super weird, and just makes me wonder if it's some sort of 'finding meaning in life outside of procreation (I've been engaging with my teenage hobbies lately too!)' or more like 'I still wanna have fun with my boyfried before we become serious'.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me hear your thoughts. : )

Zdravo svima,

Uskoro letim na Krit Wizzom, a posto su uveli i ovaj nov sistem (EES), zanima me da li je neko vec prosao celo iskustvo.

Posto su letovi generalno nocni, koliko ima izbora za prevoz do smestaja? Ja sam mislila da rezervisem taksi online nekoliko dana unapred. Isto tako, koliko traje cela procedura za pasosku? Da li je mnogo dugo zbog novog sistema?

Prvi put idem u Grcku avionom i to nocnim letom, jos nakon EES sistema. Svako iskustvo bi mi znacilo.

Hvala! <3

Kao što naslov kaže, tražim neku zanimljivu knjigu (ili više njih) da čitam dok se izležavam na plaži, još ako znate da ima negde kindle verzija da se skine, to bi bilo savršeno. Znam da većina engleskih naslova uglavnom ima, ali za naše se malo teže snalazim.

Hvala unapred ☀️
