Vacation!

I had made a promise to myself early this year. I promised that I would improve myself. I planned to get healthy, to travel and to learn some new things. The healthy part seems to be working, and due to some quirks of fate, travel translated into me going to VietNam for a week. Initially, I was supposed to meet a friend and then maybe go on by myself, I wound up going completely by myself, which was also good.

I think vacationing by yourself is great! Gives you a lot of head space, helps you feel/think about whatever you want. In my case, it was about having children, and my options around this. I want to get pregnant, SO... not so much. I'm 34 now and had thought that I only have till 35 to make this happen. Maybe I don't? Maybe I have till 36 or 37 or some later point?

If that's the case, and SO is reasonably clear that he doesn't want to have kids... does that change our relationship? This and other less stressful things are what I spent the head space on.

I also had a great time wandering around cities and towns, buying stuff, not buying stuff, seeing, feeling, etc. It was an excellent vacation though stressful in its own way. I've done it now, I'm looking forward to doing more such trips!
