I can be maternal with my friends.

My mum believes in me almost more than I believe in myself.

Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around. However, I am a mother who continues to give birth to ideas and ways of experiencing life that challenge the norm.

I got to grow up with a mother who taught me to believe in me.

I happen to find motherhood a very natural state, but I know a lot of other people don't.

I have nothing maternal in me, and men want to be mothered a lot of the time.

I was always very maternal with my friends. I wasn't the kind of little girl that played with dolls and pretended I was the mommy. I wasn't that child, so when I say I was always maternal, I don't mean in that sense - but I've always been a nurturer.
