4.I don't want kids.I know I wouldn't make for a very good mother.It's not that I'd drop them or forget them at the grocery store or anything like that but they're not a good fit for me and the life I've created for myself.I'd rather be in Cambodia kissing elephants or cage diving with sharks in Cape Town,or wandering the streets of Paris,a city that has become my second home,than trapped at home doing the mom thing.The itch to become a mother isn't in me but the itch to travel,and travel far and often,is.
If the urge isn't there,I don't think it's fair to live a life I don't want and have a baby because someone else thinks I should.That would be awful.
I like children.To say I love them wouldn't be completely accurate.It's not because I'm a monster-the same monster people who feel women should have children will call me-but I simply don't love them because I'm not around them much.Very few of my friends have children,and the ones who do I don't see much because,well,they have children.
I have two nephews in Colorado whom I love to pieces,but I don't see them very often.I don't go out there as often as I probably should because I'd rather be traveling.Some people may call this selfish,but I call it"living my best life."
When I talk to my sister about my nephews,everything they do and say is exciting to her.The joy my sister feels by just playing with them in the yard is the same joy I feel every time I get off a plane in a new country.I'd rather be on the beaches of Spain every summer while she prefers to spend her days at home with them,climbing trees and such.I'm fulfilled one way,while she's fulfilled another way.
I'm very much certain that at this point in my life my greatest fulfillment comes in the form of traveling and being free of kids.I can go anywhere at anytime; I don't have to put my life on hold for someone else.It's complete and total freedom.
