I think you and I were separated at birth. Seriously. I totally get you with the not-wanting-kids thing as well as the omg-I-still-feel-way-too-young-to-have-friends-who-are-married-and-having-kids thing. I, too, am still trying to find my place and don't feel like all the puzzle pieces have fallen into place yet. I think that's really just more of a symptom of being in your mid-twenties, though. The age of settling down and figuring things out is getting later and later, so I think we're pretty much where most people probably are--minus the ones that are married with babies, but I think they're crazy anyway. lol
I hope you do start posting more often. I need to get better at it myself, but I love your updates, and you always make my friends list a cooler, better place. :) Happy new year! <3
I am trying reeeeeally hard to keep up with this thing (it doesn't help that the entire LJ interface has changed since I've last been active. Tokens? Promotion? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!). I missed this part of blogging! I'm slowly working my way through months of entries, and it is certainly way more daunting that I'd anticipated. D'oh! That's what I get for disappearing for the better part of a year :S

Agree with this 10000000000000%, dude. Also, glad to know that I'm not the only one feeling...unfinished? I still can't really find a proper word for it, but, whatever it is, it's good to know I'm not the only one feeling...whatever this is, lol. Anyway, happy (and incredibly belated, only took me about two and a half weeks) new year to you too! <333
I've just got to 30 until I know someone who is pregnant so I feel quite lucky. I've still no interest in kids either, it's more people's attitudes towards them more than the kids themselves. Still, I don't see why the onus should be on me explaining why I don't want kids when I think that people who do want them are the weird ones!

Seriously! Whenever I hang out with my friends and their kids, I just watch them interact, and...I don't know. It just seems so exhausting to constantly try to control another human being. I'd much rather get a dog or a cat who will love me unconditionally and can't say that it hates me for not buying it tickets to a One Direction concert.
And it's good to be back (even if it does take me two and a half weeks to reply to comments!). I missed updating this thing and reading entries, even though it's taking me some time (read: for-fucking-ever) to get through them. This is what I get for just taking off for half a year, I suppose :P

Yes, you have no-one to blame but yourself!
