Is it too early for me to be thinking of settling down? Probably. Especially since I don't have a wife let a lone a girlfriend. But it's true, I want to start my own family. If you read my recent Ruffett Chapter you would know that I discussed getting a real job rather than just working minimum wage jobs. You might also know from other Ruffett Chapters that I've been watching a lot of Friends episodes, in fact, I just finished the series.
Watching Friends though might have to do with why I want to have a family given that so many babies are born and taken care of in that show. I guess when you get older you begin thinking about these things. I mean, I don't know where I'll be in 10 years let alone 5, but I hope my future is not just me alone on my Macbook trying to make a living through writing. It would be nice to have at least one child and loving wife to see every day. But who am I kidding? I don't even have a girlfriend. Well, a man can dream.
I just can picture myself with my kids in the backyard, maybe reading to them from my own books or from theirs. Maybe I'll even have my own office, and a nice desk with a large Mac. Of course, my vision is that I'm famous and well known and I take my kids and my wife to my readings. I also will have been or will be on The Ellen DeGeneres show as that's a huge dream of mine.
I remember one of my friends asked me if I would want to have kids or adopt and I said I would want to have my own and her reason to not have kids was that we don't need more humans taking up space in this world. She made a valid point and that adoption would make more sense as you're giving a child a home rather than birthing a child to grow up in a house. One of the greatest gifts you can give is raising and taking care of a child and it's even more special if you reach into your heart and care for and love a child who never had a family.
As much as having your own kids would be, adoption makes sense. Still, it is nice to know that you have a child that has your traits rather than them belonging to someone else.
It's a hard decision and obviously I don't need to make this decision now but these are the things I think about.
I probably should work on getting a girlfriend first before I try to live my dream and as of the moment I'm nowhere near the dating scale. I think I need a wingman to help me out. Great, now I have to find one.
