Daily Roast

Thought Flights.

What you say.  What I hear.

You say: Are you sure you don't want a secure job with benefits?
I hear: I want the security of a job with benefits, and I wouldn't take that risk.

You say: When are you having children?
I hear: Goodbye freedom.

You say: When are you getting married?
I hear: Goodbye autonomy. 

You say: Once you have kids you'll change your mind and be pro-life (aka anti-choice).
I hear: As a woman talking to another woman, your choices do not matter once you have children.

You say: Maybe you shouldn't wear something so low cut/tight/short.
I hear: Your body doesn't belong to you.
When they asked questions about my choices, this triggered my most primal fear of not belonging."

There is something very magical about this time in my life.  I am so comfortable in who I am, that outside questions hold no weight, and I now recognize when people project their fears onto me.  I simply hold a mirror to their projections and continue on with life.
