i have this friend, used to be my teacher, when she was 17 she went to the gynecologist begging for a hysterectomy.

she lived her life etc. never wanting children, got divorced, then met this guy she was nuts about-- and started thinking differently-- i think her biological clock kicked in, or maybe it was being with this guy that changed her mind. then the guy (now husband) got a terminal disease & she wanted to have his son but that didnt work out.

years later (in her early 40s) she met another dude got pregnant & conceived a kid she's nuts about. she NO WAI wanted this earlier but now wouldnt trade her life.

now im not saying that you SHOULD want children or will EVER want them.

only that you'd better be absolutely sure before you make such a final decision in your life. better to keep your options open, you never know what's around the corner.

(and that's why i don't have any tattoos-- once it's there, you can't scrub it out).

i am ABSOLUTELY certain. i can't handle it emotionally, i can't handle it mentally, i can't handle it physically.

of course, you're fucking 17. what did you expect?

a) no, i'm not.
b) i mean that i have a lot of PROBLEMS, okay? i have inherent mental health issues that are never going to go away and i accept that.

On the other hand, if you think hard about decisions, you usually won't regret them.
I regret neither my tattoos nor my vasectomy.
I waited until the ripe age of 23 for the vasectomy though.

i have thought about this for the last ten years! FOR FUCKS SAKE>

Yes, I used to want to have kids. And i have realized that I prefer to have more money than kids. It sounds egotistical, but it is the truth. Also, I rather not deal with that, all the drama they bring.

I don't have money either, but at least I am enjoying a barren, sterile existence that ends when I die.

Well you are a cliché, you know the starving artist.

Do I look like I starve myself?

Yes, there is not enough fat around your face. It looks flat.

i am ass kickin

Decent. Been more constructive lately, and doing more in music. Haven't had much time to hang around here though, I'm usually gone out
