For me i freaked out when my kids started leaving the nest. And as they grew older and needed me less the freedom became kinda a burden bc now what will i do with all the free time lol.
I always had lots of animals to keep me busy i love to care for others its just something thats in me. Now my bf on the other hand always wants to travel and be free with nothing to hold him back. I think we have two very different looks on life but we manage. I cant just give up my pets that i made a life commitment to so he will have to just wait till they pass haha. We go with the flow as well 💜
