Nature’s Unfazed Embrace

Mother Nature remains unfazed by our emotions.

Since our feelings aren't contagious, we can find solace and comfort in her presence, easing the loneliness of being childless.

Many women without children face societal stigmas, including shame, self-doubt, and feelings of being different.

We've also often been subjected to pity, envy, disappointment, and judgment from family, friends, and society.

Whenever I feel overwhelmed by these emotions, I turn to my garden.

Wandering through it with a free-flowing mind, I observe the plants as they change, grow, struggle, and bear fruit.

After a long session of weeding, or watering, I feel refreshed, just like my plants themselves.

Suddenly, anger, sadness, and loneliness fade away as I realize that despite being childless, I can still nurture life and grow.

The feeling of being different disappears, replaced by a sense of connection and purpose.
