[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:22 here again.

I will also say that I am glad I was able to travel in my 20s.  It's very different traveling in your 20s than it is traveling in your 40s or 50s.  I went places on my own, interacted with a lot of other 20-somethings, had experiences that I wouldn't be able to have as a 40-something traveling.  It's just a different vibe.

But that's me.  [/quote]

I agree totally with your other post, and this also.

I'm 29 and I honestly look back at my 20s, which have been spent working, partying, and traveling, often solo, and I'm very happy with them.  Sure there's a part of me that worries- when will I settle down? Will I want to settle down in time to have kids?  But nowadays, with freezing one's eggs a possibility, it seems like less and less a thing you have to worry about.

From what I have seen- your life, your SOLO life, kind of stops when you have kids.

My mother is 60 and finally all of us are out of the nest and she's just so thrilled to be rediscovering her own personal interests, downsizing to a smaller house, etc.  She also got divorced from my dad (when we were a bit younger) and is just kind of having her own rebirth.

I definitely want children, and I definitely think they are such a blessing to one's life.  As is finding the right partner.  But I think the personal journey you have with yourself is also hugely important, and there's nothing like adventure, like the enormous amount of freedom western women have today that is pretty much unprecedented in history, to make you feel truly in touch with yourself and your life journey.
