Should I become a mother first and set aside my goal for a promising career advancement, or should I prioritize things the other way around? Perhaps it is easier for an early 20s to say, "I should be worrying about my career first and let motherhood take its place after I reach my peak." But what if you are already on your prime (just like me) whose family and friends are so inquisitive about settling down and raising your own family? That's a lot of a pressure, isn't it?
A week ago, a thought about it wasn't that pressuring for me. I've set my plans and my goals and pictured out the two sides of the coin - the so-called "career enhancement" of mine. Though squeamish and risky, I still pursued my first step because of its raciness - or maybe because of the ponderous influence of an adherent. I could say the influence pulled me out from drowning and I am grateful for that. Without it, I might be living in complacency for the next hundred years.
But something happened recently that made me pause and reflect for a while. To cut down the chase, the issue about getting married and having a baby was brought about and got more intense. I became a thing being scrutinized under the spotlight with the spectators glaring up on me. I should ask why me; but then again I already know the answer.
