Although I stick with my decision to not have children, I realized this morning in the shower that I am now beginning to deal with the emotional ramifications of making such a decision. I'd been intellectualizing the whole thing up until now...raising very valid & sensible arguments for why I should not procreate. But I think the clock might be ticking. Or maybe it is just a selfish desire to have someone to love, to be able to take care of someone. Outside of the whole "being fruitful & becoming many" if you believe in the Bible & God's will, are there really any noble reasons for wanting to have a child? Or are all the reasons selfish ones? I wonder.

I think I contribute to help make this world a better place on some level, for at least two people, including myself.  Hope no one takes that as vanity.  But I also beleive that I will be able to teach my own how to and the reasons for doing the same, but even better than I.
