Children Quote by Jerusalem Jackson Greer

“Confession: Having kids did not fix me. I was not somehow more whole, less botched-up, or more certain just because I had a kid... I was still me, with all my holes and problems and questions - only now I was also exhuasted and had a lot more laundry to do.” quote by Jerusalem Jackson Greer
