Parental instincts, I guess? ~aei ------------------------------------------------------------------ Good evening, I feel incredibly exhausted, going out of town tomorrow despite going out of town so many times these past couple months, but hopefully this will be the last one for a long time. Recently, I have been thinking more about what having a child will be like. Not that I have any plans for it in the near future, but it is a thought I keep pondering on. What would it feel like to have someone to care about? I guess the parents here may have an answer or something. I know it won't be easy, I have had difficulties taking care of my siblings and that's tough already. But I can't help but think how it would be like. Honestly I'm not even imagining anything about the partner part, purely just thoughts of me and my child. Not that I plan to be a single parent, I just don't seem interested in imagining a hypothetical partner as much as I am interested in what it would feel like to take care of someone. Sometimes people around me don't feel their best, I get it, bad days come and whatnot. Usually I feel obligated to say something, something short or more frequently tall walls of text and/or long conversations. I can't help it but feel this is related to the wanting a child thing. Anyways, away from this whole thing. It's 1am and I do feel a bit tired. Maybe I'll go rest or have some dinner or whatever happens, so goodnight.
