Reunion talk!

So every year, I meet up with three childhood friends for a meal.  In the past, I have skipped one because I always felt that I had accomplished so much less than everyone else.  Everyone is pretty far into their careers where they are making considerable paychecks but always seem very unhappy with their careers.  It was only last year where things seem going their way for me: I had graduated, was working and about to move to a salaried position, I was in a relationship with a person I was truly in love with. Things were good.

Forward it to this year: No boyfriend, no job but amazingly awesome opportunity in Malaysia, tons of instability but adventure ahead.  We caught about things that happened this year.  I told them about my surgery and stated how was unsure about kids. (I know I feel this way only because I no longer have a partner which makes children a little difficult.  LOL)  To my shock, my friends were shocked at my assertion.  They all looked at me and told me in agreement that if ANYONE was going to have children, it would be me.  The hope of children entering this circle would be me so to hear me say that I wasn't sure anymore due to the pain and experience that I had during my surgery.

To me, it was funny.  My friends were encouraging me to have kids.  I am THE ONE to have kids.  LOL  I know that it is something that I still want want one day...kids are in my future, I am sure but for right now, it's not on the immediate agenda.

But one day...
