MORE ON USING ‘AND’ INSTEAD OF ‘BUT’
When you embark on your journey towards parenthood, you anticipate joy and excitement. But life sometimes has other plans, and infertility enters your story. For a while, the word ‘but’ seems to dominate your conversations. “We want children, but we can’t conceive naturally.” “We love each other, but this journey is testing us.” ‘But’ feels like a wall, separating you from your dreams.
However, somewhere along the way, you discover the power of ‘and.’ You could want children AND explore alternative paths to parenthood. You could love each other deeply AND embrace the challenges this journey brings. Shifting from ‘but’ to ‘and’ wasn’t just a linguistic change; it transforms your perspective.
Embracing ‘and’ allows you to live a fuller life despite infertility. It lets you find hope AND seek support, love yourself AND navigate the emotional rollercoaster of treatments. It encourages you to acknowledge the pain AND celebrate the small victories.
In life’s unpredictable journey, ‘and’ opens doors to resilience, acceptance, and a more complete, meaningful existence, even when ‘but’ tries to hold you back.
