It’s all a bit of a cope, deep down there is this primal call that isn’t easily shrugged off. Well for some at least. I know that it will get stronger for me and stronger with each year.

I am not saying the purpose of humans nowadays is to make children nor that we should be reduced to such concepts but… it’s not easy to escape millions of years of evolution. It is definitely going against everything that screams "multiply" deep down and that will take mental health toll

The only primal call I have is to fuck. I could not care less about actually having a kid as a result. If anything seeing how having kids has affected my friends ability to do so has made me want them even less.

That's how the instinct works for guys. Then you have a little person to protect and it changes

No thanks. I'll watch out for other people's kids if I'm around them but I don't want to revolve my life around it.

Yup. Imagine a portable hype beast that loves all the same stuff you do.
