Todays subject is going to be about children…
I personally don’t want kids, and when I say those words, people (mostly women) give me looks that makes me wonder if this woman suddenly got possessed by the Devil.
It seems like just because you are a woman, you automatically have a desire to have children. Even though most women work like that, because it’s partly driven by instinct, I think it’s awfully wrong to say that all of us females want kids…
I respect those who want kids, if no one wanted kids – humankind would be extinct eventually. But I cannot help to get extremely heated up when people go “Whaaaat..? You don’t want kids??? WHY???” It’s good that not all women wants kids. The world is already packed with humans.
With kids, you get bound up… and I don’t want to live that kind of life. I have my visions, dreams about the future that not includes children. If I were to have a child, I don’t think I could do everything I want to do. And the world doesn’t end just because -->I<-- don’t leave any offsprings.
But maybe…
that could be one of the reason why most people cry out so desperately after a child of their own; they want to leave something behind when their time is up.
Everyone wants to be remembered, everyone wants to leave something behind… I want that for myself too of course…
But I want to leave something else, something that doesn’t die out eventually in everyones memory……..
I don’t know what it is yet – but I think that every day, I get one step closer in finding the answer.
Our existence is not for granted, no one knows for sure if they are going to take another breath tomorrow, and I can’t say for sure that I won’t die in my sleep tonight…
But with that in mind,
…I believe we can live our lives to the fullest, enjoying every moment of it…
And may that life be with or without children, I won’t judge anyone, so don’t judge me - let it be a happy life.
But for me, right now, ‘despite’ the fact that I am a woman, a life without children seem much happier to me.
