    I always liked kids, but never saw myself having any.

    I met a girl who was dead set on children and already ended a long relationship due to the partner not wanting kids.

    I decided I could have one kid, as long as it was a few years in the future so I could do stuff you don’t really do when you have kids.

    Years went by, pregnancy happened. Having a kid is exhausting but at the same time having a kid who considers you their most important person in the world is an amazing high and something you will never experience by babysitting someones kid.

    I don’t regret having my child, I love my child very much and they surprise me every day with how capable they are of stuff, to the point I am amazed this little person is related to me at all.

    I’m at peace with my decision even if I had other plans and might sometimes miss what could’ve been with less responsibility, but at the same time I will grow older and I will have less responsibility as my child gets older too. And as one grows older I imagine running around town being up to no good gets old as well.
