Reminder that just because you don’t have children, doesn’t mean you have to achieve a certain level of career or academia. You’re still valid. I’m still valid…
And if you do want children and are fulfilled living a life dedicated to making and raising them, you’re also still valid.
In fact, that would be an accomplishment, while simply existing isn’t. But this planet got an overpopulation problem, so if all you wanna do is continue simply and unimportantly existing while also not procreating, I’d say, go ahead.
Reminder that you don’t have to do anything at all in life, and these who day otherwise are wrong.
In fact I strive to do as little as possible. I only work to pay the bills. If I could luck upon a comfortable enough nest egg I would quit working immediately and just play games the rest of my life (video & board, solo and with friends/family).
Hell, I may end up contributing more to society that way since I enjoy dabbling in video game design but don’t have enough time to actually work towards anything I could release. If I had time, maybe I’d actually create something for a wider audience rather than whatever minor contribution I have at work.
You guys have expendable income?
I can’t complain too much, because I usually end each month with a couple hundred in pocket money, but one of the primary reasons I don’t have kids is cause there’s no way in hell I’m going to afford it. The $200ish a month that I waste on weed and video games are not going to afford diapers and daycare.
