#green flags from jere yet again 😭💚

mä en syntyny vaan synnyttämään

"I wasn't born just to give birth" there is something particularly relatable about this lyric to me personally. I have been told that Bess has been open about being child free by choice and it means so much to me that she's using her voice and her platform to tell that fact to the world. There is such a massive stigma still about people, especially women, stating they don't want kids: "You'll change your mind" "Wait until you find the right person" people will go out of their way to tell you that you will fit their mold of what they think a woman should be.

But Bess doesn't fit that mold. She wants to do what she wants to do at her pace, she wants to have fun and fuck and be happy and there's no place in her life for someone who doesn't want that as well, she doesn't want children tying her down she just wants to make music and enjoy her life on her terms.

Jere sings about how he would like to have kids eventually, but the world is pressuring him to have them and that's not what he wants. He wants to do his own thing too, he wants to enjoy life while he still can without the expectations our society has of him.

And as someone who is child free by choice as well it means the world to me that he would so openly support this side of Bess, this song is so very special to me <3
