>>16384060Im in my late 30's, and most of my old friends took either the career woman route and are seemingly happy being wine aunts or are guys who just keep kicking the can down the road, renting an apartment in the nice suburbs (which costs a fortune) and partying and getting high. I probably would have been just like them if i hadnt knocked up my girlfriend (now my wife)
Having a child changed me. It humbled me. For over a billion years (lets assume) life has been playing a game of tag, passing your genetics along, changing slightly along the way. My ancestors survived war amd famine, hopeless lives, yet still did just enough to reproduce and ensure their offspring survived long enough to reproduce themselves. Thats the whole game right there.
Im humble enough to realize i cant ever understand what it all means, but it gives you a meaning to life that will live on forever. Or until your genetic line ends because they wanted to smoke weed and fuck bbc during their 30's, ending it all
