And to be fair, sometimes I am a bitch, because I don't like you." <---- Ditto. And the not being lonely thing/being totally fine doing things by myself. I'm not someone who cares much for being polite - I am generally kind to people, but I refuse to subscribe to the idea that it's inappropriate to talk about politics, or mental health issues, or what have you just "because it's not proper" or it might be a touchy subject.

If you want kids, have kids, if you don't that's great too. We should never succumb to this world's pressure to be something we're not when we don't have to. May just have to adopt this idea for my own blog! ;) Cara (Kindly Unspoken)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05646839632185816703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-79989770967000233242017-05-16T22:56:08.843-04:002017-05-16T22:56:08.843-04:00I suffer from RBF too so it's a problem when i...I suffer from RBF too so it's a problem when it comes to first impressions. <br />Adults who are bored are boring.

I also am never fashionable or trendy.

Also not a sugar coater, trendy, or comfortable speaking in public. Someone once told me "you just have to practice!" No. I am not a baby or child person. I suck with kids and think babies look like little aliens. I'm not a runner or yogi and have no interest in becoming either.

I think posts like this are a great reflection of knowing who you really are. I am definitely lonely sometimes but I can't always pinpoint it so I feel like it is a bit more nostalgia than loneliness. I completely respect and appreciate your views on not being a mother despite being very happy to be one myself. Like Alyssa said, it is absolutely a personal choice between you and your partner and there are plenty of other ways for you to influence the future generation if you so choose to :) I am also a bit more afraid of confrontation than most people... I like to keep the peace if I can. haha.

It's just nice and totally inspiring to see women exercising their right to make high life decisions after careful forethought, rather than just following a prescribed list of steps.<br /><br />I feel like everyone I ever met has told me that they didn't think we'd be friends when we first met, because I have RBF and also am an observer.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390697943483129220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-46290259257175083722017-05-16T12:08:20.559-04:002017-05-16T12:08:20.559-04:00I am almost to the point where I am not upset abou...I am almost to the point where I am not upset about having kids and i think turning 40 will be the key to that. People like you help me be accepting of the weird circumstances that have led me to be childless by choice by accident (as I like to call it.) Anyway all of this tells me what you are...YOU!
