I haven't had kids 'cause I gave up on relationship drama long ago. Not that I won't try again in the future if I feel like it, but I don't care if my genetic materials spreads far and wide or even anywhere; part of my genetic material is in every human that ever lived or will live. I'm just part of some kind of weird, broken symmetrical continuum of "human". At the same time, I've always been surrounded by kids of some kind. Nieces and nephews and such. They seem to like me. Cats do too. I know it sucks to be a human on this planet and it's tough yet it also has its good parts, and I talk at length but more or less simply. I don't know why cats like me. I just treat them how they want to be treated I guess. I've also taken one of those long-winded career tests years ago... had stuff like psychologist, rabbit/priest/minister, coach, guidance counselor showing up in the top 10... but #1 "Middle School Teacher, Special Ed" and in the description explained that it means both gifted students and so-called "slower" students. So, that explains it to me. I get along with with ppl who are in transitional periods of their life... which is, well, anybody who is seeking answers and searching far and wide for them. Thankfully they're careers I _could_ start at any point in life. Once I'm dead, ok, too late then, but if I really wanted to, I could. It's just school and looking for a job and time and money, but any of those things are possible. But if I decided "ok, a mate would be nice", and ended up with kids of my own, I'd be ok with that too. Or adoption. Or foster kids. Or none. Doesn't matter really to me. I'm just here.
