I just read what you're talking about. She wasn't meaning it in a bad way... you said that the "what a woman wants from a man" posts are fairytale expectations. But the thing is, you can still dream of what you want in life. It's pursuing our dreams that take us far in life, whether it be from about a significant other, a career, etc. And you should pursue those dreams because they're bound to take you somewhere. And even if you don't get exactly what you want, you still went somewhere and got closer to what you wanted. That's what she meant. So she was saying, pursue what you dream of having. She wasn't trying to say that you have nothing.
I hope things go well when Hazel's born too... I've had some scares with her sudden low heart rate and my grandma told me today that heart murmurs run in my dad's side of the family. Plus I know my mom's side has plenty of heart problems too. And in a few years, I'll have to start having her tested for diabetes every 2ish years...
I can't wait to start drawing again! I just hope Hazel lets me today~
