Music, Life, & Other Things

Some women will never want children in their life in any meaningful capacity. They don't want to give birth. They don't want to adopt. They don't want to be the fun auntie. They don't want to be a godmother. They don't want to work in a field with children. They will never change a child's diaper and don't believe their lack of childcare skills is a problem that needs fixing, because childcare is not a crucial part of the human experience, with billions of people on the planet. They go about their day while only seeing kids out at the grocery store or at the park, and nothing is missing from their lives.

“Take a shower, wash away the bad thoughts, cleanse your body, put on some relaxing music, get in to bed, breathe.”

“You don’t deserve someone who comes back, you deserve someone who never leaves.”

Life doesn't always immediately reward those who are kind, sensitive, or genuine. But that doesn't make those qualities useless. They build something deeper: real bonds, meaning, and future peace.
