When Did Wanting A Husband Become Controversial?

If you had asked my 22-year-old self where I thought I’d be in ten years, my answer was simple. I’d be a wife to a loving husband, a mother to an adorable child (or two), and work as a writer. Nearly a decade later, I’m proud to say I work as a freelance writer, but I have yet to achieve my dream of becoming a wife and mother. It’s not the timeline I imagined, but I’m not interested in grieving a plan. I still want marriage and motherhood, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise just because the culture finds that inconvenient.
