I was talking to a 61 year old man at work today. He asked if I was married and/or had kids. I answered "No" to both. His reply was "That's good. Keep it that way." I explained how I wanted a baby and he's like "No you don't. Not this young. Because once you have a baby, it's all about the child. Your life is over." I said to him "Why do you say that? I don't believe that." He replied with "Well if you want to be stuck at home then that's fine. But if you want to actually go out and have fun, hold off on it as long as you can." I answered back with "I mean I don't really GO OUT or anything as it is. I like just relaxing and working and making money to support myself and my future family." He then said "Well if you ever want to be able to do anything fun, don't have a child. Because your mind is going to change in a couple years, you're not fully matured. And by then, you might want to do something and you won't be able to. Because you have a kid. They're like an anchor." I stopped talking to him after this and just thought to myself. I also found out he has two children, and man do I feel sorry for them that he has that opinion on kids. What he didn't understand is that with my depression and my mindset, I don't care if I can never GO OUT and "have fun" because I'd much rather live my life for another person than live for my own. Having a baby would give me something to live for. Would make me happier. And would make me want to better myself even more than I have been lately. I'd much rather sit at my house with my child and the man of my dreams instead of going out and doing stupid shit that will never even matter/make a difference in this world. Being a mother would make a huge difference in the world and I cannot wait till that day comes for me so I can make sure I show them all the love I possibly can and make it known to them that they're my world.
