Stopping Myself

I'm not going to look through my 1086 Facebook contacts to look at how many of them are within 5 years of my age and then figure out what percentage of those have kids or are pregnant.  I'm not.  I know it would just make me feel even more like shit, so I'm not.  But I can't lie, it seriously crossed my mind.  Not actually as an act of self-flagellation, but to find out how much my perception coincides with reality.

    Ooh, I like that idea! I ended up doing it after all last night because I was already making a "list" of everyone so that I could have something that looked like the old feed. I'll write about that later today, though.

    The part of me that adores statistics is warring with the part of me that hates kicking myself when I'm down.

    Gee, I was afraid of that, but it ended up not being a kick, surprisingly enough.

    Don't do it. I only have around 400 Facebook "friends," but while in the throes of unsuccessful TTC, I once counted all the friends with children and with children born since we'd started trying.

    It was very depressing. :-(

    this would be like looking through to see how many were in a relationship or had gotten married. everyone's situation is different and no good can come of making comparisons. besides in this comparison, i think about all of the people who stay in relationships because they don't know how to be alone. i'd rather be single than miserable. i <3 me.
