I had this little thought as I was on my way to class this afternoon, stressing about living with anxiety and depression and attempting to do school the way everyone else does.

"The world would have you have a career. I would have you be a mother."

It was such a small thought, but it brought me so much comfort. All my life, all I've ever wanted to be was a mother. I was given baby dolls as Christmas presents and I would take them everywhere with me. Since I was 12, I've been making lists of what I hope my future husband will be like, and then when I got older I learned to work on those things myself.

I have a strong testimony of the family. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have my mom, or my dad, or each of my three brothers. I know I can always count on my family to cheer me up, to listen, to be there for me. So I know that families are important. I want to raise a family in righteousness.
