yooo, nothing hits quite like when my mom casually drops the “so when are you having kids?” bomb at family gatherings—meanwhile, I’m here in the corner—witnessing the youngest cousin with a real relationship and a dog, like what even is happening. every time someone asks, I feel like I’m on a game show where the prize is just a reminder of how I’m not hitting those milestones—everybody's smiling a...
