Hello Dear Reader

Hello anonymous reader. I hope this post finds you holding on. 

I imagine you're here because you want to have kids and be a parent so badly it hurts in the deepest ways on a physical, emotional, spiritual, and existential level. Maybe you are single, maybe your partner doesn't want kids (or more kids), or maybe you are already dealing with other health and/or financial problems right now and can't birth or adopt a child. Maybe you are like I was. Maybe you are going through fertility treatments but allowing yourself to read about other people's lives without children in case that becomes your lifelong reality. 

Whatever brings you here, you are welcome. You are welcome, worthy, and wanted.

So I hear it's International Blog Delurking Week, January 3 - 9, 2021. :) 

Like I've said before, I read blogs for yearsss before I ever commented. I was too scared and nervous to comment. But, quite honestly, I was lonely and I needed friends. Even if they were "just" on the internet. I saw other bloggers writing and commenting on each other's posts and I wanted to join the community. So I did. I started blogging over four years ago and haven't looked back. And even though I haven't met anyone in real life (yet!), I have a lot of friends here now. 

So if you're a reader, I'd love it if you said Hello. Or you can say hello privately in an email if you prefer. My email address is my full blog name, infertilephoenix, and it's a gmail account. 

You don't have to say Hello! You are still more than welcome to keep reading. I don't know where you are with things and grief can really incapacitate us for a long time. I honor and respect wherever you are in your process.

But... If you are able to comment or send me an email... I'd love to say Hello back. 

You are very important to me.

💜
