It secretly bothers me that I don't have any children yet, because all of my nieces and nephews have the opportunity to know and interact with my grandparents, and children don't seem to be anywhere on the the immediate horizon for me. The plan is still to go about it the old-fashioned way, you know, the whole marriage thing first. But damn, I have to find someone that I feel I can marry first, huh?

Life gets complicated as we get older, primarily because as we get older, we develop more sound rationales as to why we can't do something our heart desires. We become masters at denying our own dreams, often using life and it's (often self inflicted) circumstances as excuses.

I admit that I sometimes run from my own destiny, my own blessings. Although I can be a great decision-maker/time-manager (especially in crunch time), long-term decisions are a problem sometimes. I hate to make mistakes. Not afraid of failing, but making mistakes bothers me. Weird I know.
