Baby Boom
I feel like all of my friends' bdays are over the summer. Within the last month I've bought presents for 9 of my friends, and while I don't mind it at all, I feel like... why the baby boom? Is it because people get bored during the winter and don't wanna go out in the snow, so they stay in and have unprotected sex? Use a condom people. Or have you ever heard of this nifty lil invention called the pill? Kids suck. I mean, I'm glad all my friends were conceived and all, but why do people want kids so bad? I don't understand. Kids smell, they're annoying as fuck, they drain u of all ur $, and last but most importantly, THEY SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF YOU SLOWLY LIKE SMALL LEECHES. I feel like a lot of people only have them because it's assumed that it's a duty of the human species to procreate. Granted we'd all die out if no one ever got busy sans latex, but I feel like if people genuinely thought this over and went with their gut instinct, a lot less people would be poppin small humans outa their vaginas. I personally never want to have kids ever. I value my "me" time way too much, and you can call me selfish for that but I don't want my life to be all about raising other people. This is probably going to hinder my love life, in that most guys eventually want a family... but I mean, I really wanna get married someday, I just don't want any rug rats. Somehow I feel like couples who choose not to have kids probably end up happier because they can focus on their marriage and not on the politics of child-rearing. Anyway, so there's my take on this and I'm not backing down lol. My theories of personality professor once told me that people who don't want kids are flukes of darwinism. That really offended me at the time, but now I'm like 'eh...whatever.' And who knows, maybe she's right. I mean, could the world really handle little me's running around? Probly not. And if worse comes to worse and I end up with a guy who REALLY wants a family, maybe I can talk him into adopting a 25 yr old with his own apartment.
