32 newly divorced

Well, I finally got out of my 2 1/2 year marriage a few months ago. It was over about 3 months into the marriage. I mourned my marriage long ago and now it is finally over. Divorce is final! :smthumbup: I kept positive through the whole thing. I am now 32 and living in my parent's basement to get things back on track. Paying off debts. I quit my job due to many reasons. One was that I couldn't afford a place to live in the town we were in. Plus, it was getting really stressful and we were in a small town with rumors and so much gossip. So, I am much happier right now in that respect. Although I've maintained a positive attitude through all of this, I'm starting to fall. I'm 32. Not married. No children. I'm glad I didn't have children with my ex, but I can definitely hear my clock ticking. I'm so tired of everyone always saying, "You would make a great mom....why don't you have kids?" I want to be a mom more than anything. Always have. But I chose to make it through college and start a career without the added stress of children. It's just now that I'm starting to feel the pressure. I guess I just want to share my story and talk to others who may understand. I live in a very small town, very rural area and not much of a dating scene. It's hard. I've dated online, but that seems to lead to long-distance dating and that's so hard. I'm really struggling to be positive lately. Really starting to feel bad about my situation. Any advice or uplifting stories are appreciated.
