...what do you mean tommorrow?"

It is 100% NOT SELFISH to decide not to have a child if you aren't 100% committed to the idea. Like, how is that fair at all to the child, that their parents didn't really want them but only had them because of social pressure?

Having a child is one of the few truly irreversible things in life. As someone who does not want children, people are always asking "ARE YOU SURE??” and I don't get it. This is the thing you should be asking people who are having kids, not the other way around. Are you sure you're doing it for the right reason? Or is it because your friends all are? Because society tells you it's the next step after marriage? Because they are made to feel like it's their job as a woman? Or is it because you want to create a new life and are committed to everything that is a part of responsibly raising that person?

As a white, cis-gendered heterosexual person, I can't really complain about not feeling represented the the books, movies and TV I consume. But I will say that every time a great couple ends up having kids, I get sad. Like, I'm not anti-kids, and I fully support people having them for the right reason, but when every fictional couple ends up with kids, it just adds to the narrative that having kids is an obligation.

Just for once I'd love to see an amazing fictional couple consciously decide that having kids was not for them.

Stories that involve pregnancies

Okay…. so this is super random but I feel impulsive enough to talk about this right now.

First and foremost, this is not a bash to ANYONE who enjoys or doesn’t mind stories/fanfics that end in or involve pregnancy of the main characters(s) this is just something I am actually curious about to see if I am just plain weird or not.

So, when I am reading a book or a fanfic of my favorite characters, if the story takes a turn and the main female lead gets impregnated I immediately will drop it. Not out of hate or repulsiveness but because I completely lose interest.

I THINK the reason might be because some small part of me feels that the story is now no longer so much about the main character but the infant residing in her womb? And suddenly everything she was doing or everything she is trying to accomplish suddenly is changed and warped because it is now going to revolve all around the being inside of her? Idk. I am just wondering if I am the only one who does this because I see SO many fanfics in particular that will start out so good but then she will get pregnant and I will immediately shut down.

Again, this is NOT a bash, everyone likes what they like and doesn’t like what they don’t like. Let me know if I am not weird!

Nice little message I came across on my "run" today. (It was more of a run/walk, but hey, at least that torn calf muscle is finally healing!)

I was not prepared for how abundant my vegetable garden would be this year. One of my fave things do do with extra cucumbers? Chop them up, put them in ice cube trays, let it soak for about an hour and then freeze them. Now I can have fancy cucumber water and feel like I'm at a spa whenever I want!
