Madness of candy
My daughter asked me to write a story about something crazy because it was a challenge.

Okay, but what is worth describing? Maybe one from my childhood. Let's see how it happened.
My Infertility Journey
It's weird to me how sometimes your body just knows when there are going to be complications. From my teenage years, I was afraid that I would struggle with infertility. At the age of 20, I began fertility testing as I had already been unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant for over a year. Sadly, an unfortunate event when I was seventeen landed me with an STI that when untreated can cause damage to reproductive organs. I am unaware how long I had the STI, but immediately got treatment for it. The first treatment, however, was unsuccessful and I had to go through it again to fully get rid of it. The STI was asymptomatic with me, so if I didn't start fertility testing I may have never known.

I hear people talking about how they have to be in bed by 10pm for example, and they start their days at 5, 6am. Oh, they are so exhausted and cannot wait for bed but their cat was purring all night or the dog was upset so they did not sleep well. They need a cup of coffee to get their energy back and wake up. Oh dear, sorry love.

For whatever reason, some stories beckon to be told, retold, over and over again; perhaps the residue of our memories brings back laughter from a place that stores our tears as well; a time when all seemed easy, or easier than now. The complexities of nostalgia circle around us yearning, tugging like children on our shirtsleeves to play; irresistible reminders from far away, yet familiar as the return of March. If we are as lucky as the Irish, the season of renewal rolls around once more. Why this memory; I don't know.
