it is unfair

I envy women who get pregnant year after year. Conceiving and giving birth is as easy as breathing. For them procreating is a breeze. In my country where poverty seems to be everywhere, women cuddling an infant while three or four children cling to her skirt is not a bizarre site. You see them on the streets, begging for food. I am so moved with this scene. I have a soft spot for them. I pity the woman and more for her kids.

And deep within me …
I couldn’t help but say… IT IS UNFAIR!

UNFAIR because women like me who opted to delay marriage for a career, have difficulty, if not denied, of conceiving.
