Embracing Change—Navigating Unexpected Turns in Our Journey
Share
Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, and for us, it came in the form of an unplanned pregnancy. This is a difficult subject to discuss, especially for me, as someone with PCOS who dreams of becoming a mother. The loss was profound, and it’s taken time to process those feelings while still keeping the hope alive for our future adventures together.
Despite this road bump, we refuse to let it derail our travel dreams. It’s essential for me to speak about this experience—not just for myself but to promote self-love and mental health awareness. Coping with the loss of a pregnancy is a journey in itself, and sharing it may help others who are facing similar struggles.
One sunny day in our cozy Brooklyn home, while we were caught up in the joy of just being together, he asked me a simple yet profound question: “What do you want?” We were laughing, enjoying each other’s company, and I felt an overwhelming sense of bliss. Without overthinking it, I replied that I just wanted to hang out with him.
But he pressed further, wanting to know more. As I shared my thoughts, I realized this was a defining moment in our relationship. It was as if the universe was giving us a nudge to solidify our dreams and aspirations. I told him that my perfect life included traveling the world, buying a house, and starting a family.
That moment felt significant—like we were laying the groundwork for the life we envisioned together. Our dreams were intertwined, and despite the challenges we faced, we knew we would continue to pursue them. The loss was heartbreaking, but it also served as a reminder of the love we share and the future we want to create together.
We’re committed to embracing life’s changes, supporting each other through every twist and turn, and holding onto the dreams that inspire us. Together, we’ll navigate this journey and continue to look forward to the adventures that await us.
