“Ten years ago, I was pregnant, unemployed, unsure about where I was gonna live or give birth and despite the bravado I may have projected, I was scared,” Burton wrote. “My whole life I’d thought I would follow the same path as everyone I’d grown up around. Have a steady job. Get married. Buy a house. Have kids. But the path didn’t unfold that way at all.”
“A decade later, I can look back at my younger self and say ‘it’s okay, honey! Happiness will surprise you! Let it!'” she continued. “2019 was incredibly good to our family. The wedding I thought I wanted when I was 26 was made so much sweeter by waiting.”
