My mother had me young. She doesn’t feel as though her life was taken away. She had other dreams, besides an education. It was her choice. My mom always says, that she never knew her mother young, cuz she had her as an older woman. I always knew my mom as young, and I’m happy for that.
I made different choices in my life. Im in med school now. achieved much more then my mom did. But I sometimes do wonder how complacent my life would have been if I gotten married young and had kids instead and been a housewife like my mom, instead of still being in school- worried about yet another exam . yeah, I look at people liek that, and think how stress free they are. how complacent their life is. Not to be ungrateful, alhumdullilah, im happy were im at, and know that im blessed, and happy that i will inshallah achieve my goals…but sometimes i wonder…
Maybe it’s just that the other side of fence is always greener. who knows.
