Whip it!!

I love it when I watch a movie that makes me think. Whip it definitely had that effect on me today. It has made me consider what I am really good at and what I do because I enjoy it and not because I have to. It makes me sad that I can't think of anything. I don't do anything that I love. I guess I need to think about it more and then I'll update this post...

Nulliparous

I recently was asked why I wish to remain nulliparious and I answered with two of the most important reasons why I made that choice but I am uneasy because since I had to explain myself I can't help to constantly go over all the other reasons in my head.

So the two reasons I gave this person were that I feel like I already raised two kids (my siblings) and that I don't think my genes are good enough to be passed on to the next generation.

My issue with the whole thing though is that as a nulliparous woman I have to explain myself to everybody but yet people who want to have children don't need any explanation... how unfair is that?

I think people should take a moment to think about the consequences of their decisions. Having a child is just as important of a decision as choosing not to have children but yet I have to explain myself? I wish people who want to procreate were required to get a license to breed. It is crazy that we put more emphasis on breeding practices in dogs than in people.

I know this is turning into a rant but I just hate seeing people with bad genes get together with other people with worse genes to create a really below average human being. Having a child should not be done just because babies are cute or because you feel like that is something you have to do.

We forget what it is to have to survive because our lives are so different form any other animal and people who can't find a mate seem to be oblivious to the fact that even though we may not need to fight for our lives every day our brain is still programed to look for the better match that will allow offspring to be successful in the world. It is not personal, it's called survival.

I guess maybe I am just a silly girl that should shut her mouth but that is why I am writing it on here. This is my blog and I can blog about whatever I want.

I wish I could find a way to evade questions regarding this subject but I don't think that is going to happen and as I approach my 30s I will most likely get the same question asked in many different ways. So, I should just fasten my seat belt and hold on for the next twenty years...
