Career, Health or Love?

Career, Health or Love?

I really haven’t been able to sort out my views on marriage or children but I always find myself leaning towards no, to both.

Marriage is a contractually binding agreement. It’s state-sanctioned implications are really quite invasive; especially when it comes to things like taxes and healthcare coverage.

Personally, I have yet to find anyone who is able to keep up with the pace and lifestyle I lead.

Children are super cute when they aren’t yours and baby cuddles are the best, until that diaper starts smelling like hot cross buns.

There are a lot of complications that come along with autoimmune diseases (diabetes) and pregnancy and childbirth. The last things I’d want to do are 1- die and 2- pass on diabetes.

I’ll be traveling until I’m at least 80, then I want to be a greeter at Walmart (if they start treating their employees better by then.) I don’t want kids feeling like I’m dragging them around the world and that they’re not able to make a home in any one place. On the other hand, the cultural experiences would be phenomenal. On the other, other hand I wouldn’t want them close to any danger (domestically or abroad).

This is nothing I have to deal with now but I really can’t decide if I’m selfish, scared, or if my logic is perfectly reasonable. These things always hum in the back of my mind. I’ll be done with school in less than 7 years and time really tends to fly.

I don’t want life to sneak up on me and find myself unprepared.
