I am a young man coasting into my mid 20s. As I look around I see my peers having babies and getting married, constantly I ask myself why. On the one hand your in love and thats great, but on the other if you are so in love what is the rush? And then with the kids, I have nothing against them. In fact I love kids, I just don't want any. The world is not looking like it will be in better shape then when I came into. If that does not change I can justify having kids personally. So I will adopt when the time comes.
In the midst of this ongoing discussion with myself, I recently watched the 2nd season of my favorite television show Weeds. During episode 11 of season 2, the star character portrayed by Mary-Louise Parker ponders aloud about what it would be like if her children died when her husband died or if she just did not have them. What would it be like to be only responsible for herself. I got to think about it. Then I got wise to myself that is impossible for me, and I am not sure if it is possible for anyone.
All things considered, this morning I woke up to a kiss on the lips from my nephew. It does not get any better than that at all. Maybe I will reconsider this whole not having children thing.
