  "account": "The author did not desire children, but after her brother and sister-in-law had twins, she questioned why she stayed away from kids. She realized that children symbolized her growing age, but despite that, she welcomed her nephews into her life. It took her avoiding her newborn nieces to understand the depth of her discomfort around children. However, after meeting her nephews, she felt more complete and realized there was room for wonderful things in her life, even without wanting to have children of her own.",
