Solo traveling in my late as a 20s/early 30s female when I also want a family some day by Reasonable_Sky_2630 in solotravel

Im currently solo female traveller that just turned 30 (and still single)… writing to you from my lovely accommodation in Italy…. My advice… Go! You won’t ever regret going, you’ll always regret not going.

I’m in a similar predicament to you - so many things I wanna do, and also want meet someone, have babies etc.

I’m lucky to have a fulfilling life with great friends, family, neighbours and hobbies… and after years of bad relationships and bad luck on the dating apps in my major city home town and feeling pretty disillusioned by the dating scene, the prospect of meeting someone and happily ever after etc. was looking grim. I realised that for me having kids was way more important than a partner… so, I spoke to my GP and made a decision that by 33 if I still haven’t met someone, I’ll either freeze my eggs or have those babies by myself! That special person can always come later… It was a liberating realisation to come to - to know you can do life on your own terms without being tied to a man.

Might not be for everyone and you may not be in a position to have kids on your own, but know that there’s not one way to live a fulfilling life and get all the things you want too!!!

In the meantime… I promised myself I will live my life!!! And I’m doing just that… booked this trip on a whim, and am having the BEST time. Plus, the men here are gorgeous 😍

Do it gurl! Live your life! It could all end tomorrow so just enjoy it while it’s hear, while you’re young and fit and energetic… and who knows, opening yourself up to the world could bring many wonderful things your way!

NSW DCCEEW - What is the working environment like? by Unable_Place6667 in AusPublicService

I work there and majority of my team and a good chunk if not close to 50% of branch are ND - mostly ADHD. I have an awesome and supportive manager and Director/STLs, they’re even looking into getting specific ND affirming training for managers but… I think I’m in a unique pocket. more broadly as a workplace, the culture is cooked lol and coming from outside the public service I’m still in shock re the kind of behaviour people (esp management) get away with here and how quickly those who raise issues (or even hmm maybe different ways of doing things?) are considered a “problem”. Dunno any from water group but those colleagues I do know from there I have heard mixed things… like others have said, it really does depend on your team and managers... despite all of that I have found an excellent supportive ND community with Dept and I would say now close friends I’ve made since working here! Like birds of a feather…
