I think that I would make a great mother.
Honestly, I think it's what I was made for.
I am overprepared always.
Caring for others is coded into my DNA.
I would give them my everything.
But I can't become a mom.
I can't pass on this suffering.
I can't watch my children suffer with the battles I've waged since I was 5.
Can't let them see me spending my bad days in bed as I had to witness from my own mother.
I can't fail them.
I can't condemn them to this life.
I love them too much already.
I may be many things.
Mentally unwell.
Broken.
Weak.
Small.
Unsignificant.
But I do know this.
I would be an amazing mother.
I'm already good enough to know that I can never be one at all.
