As you grow your heartbreaks change – that’s what I have realized

Today I was thinking about the evolution of my heartbreaks with age – in my teens and early 20s my greatest heartbreak would be the thought that I would never go visit Europe now my greatest heartbreak is knowing that I will most likely not give birth to or raise children (this no-children thing is breaking my heart more than possibly not visiting Europe ever could). No matter the meaningful things I do with my days at the end of each day I will get into an empty bed and no child of my own…it hurts parts of me I didn’t even know existed.
