[script fill] [narrative] [grief] [perimenopause] [aging] [single life] [childlessness] [ambition] [longing] [life stages] [emotional] Thank you u/GoddessandMenaceGaia for this lovely script A woman reflects on her life in stages: college, career, independence, midlife. Each marked by the reassurance that she had “plenty of time” for love and motherhood. But as perimenopause begins, she faces the grief of dreams slipping away. Raw, real, and intimate, this story captures ambition, longing, and the mourning of a life that may never be. Sometimes life comes at you fast. Other times it drips really slowly until you finally realize it's spilling over. This story is the latter.
