Not my problem – Jocelyn

Another brilliant piece from a GUNNAS WRITING MASTERCLASS writer.

I’m not a dweller.

To have a life vanish from my body five times over wasn’t easy – but what is?

My life is happy and fulfilling but I don’t like to be judged.

And people do.

Their problem – not mine

“You never can really feel like a woman unless you’ve had children.” Every day I wake up and feel like a woman, because I am a woman.

“Well of course you’ll never really enjoy life without children.” Feel free to watch me try.

“It’s hard for you to understand children because you’re not a parent.” I guess I must have been sleeping through all my years as a teacher.

“Aren’t you worried you’ll be lonely in your old age.?” No!

Wouldn’t you have loved to see what your kids looked like? Yes!

“It’s nice you have a dog to replace a child.” In case you haven’t noticed my dog is a dog, not a child.

“Your life is easy, you haven’t got children.” Thank you. I’m glad I make it look easy.

Their problem – not mine

Period.
