Our lives – our careers and the things we want – are ultimately born from a desire to create a safe, happy space for ourselves within which moments of joy can occur.
#VOIDS HAVE A NICE LIFE HOW TO#
The list of those truths could go on forever (no, it really could), but the core truth behind all of it is about what human life is about, how we relate to each other, how to care for each other, and the tiny moments that, in the end, are what we do all this other shit to support.
#VOIDS HAVE A NICE LIFE FULL#
But after spending enough of my life with kids and without, I can’t deny what I really feel: It’s a perfectly fine choice to never become a parent, but there is absolutely no chance that your life will be as full or meaningful, or that you will learn as many essential truths about existence, as you would if you had kids.īecause when it comes down to it, there are certain truths about life that you literally cannot know until you’ve become a parent. I never thought of myself as the kind of person who judges other people’s choices.
You can do and undo almost anything – except having kids (unless you’re a monster who abandons your children, but let’s assume none of you are.) Of the many life choices we make, the decision to have kids or not is arguably the biggest one, because it changes your life the most and is largely the most irrevocable.
I’ve always held strongly to the notion that everyone has different priorities and preferences in regard to how they live their life, and that simply because I would choose or have chosen something different, or even if I outright disagree with their choices, I still uphold their right to make that choice. This is, in fact, because I don’t actively, consciously choose to do so. I’ve never thought of myself as the kind of person who judges the choices of others.
