The cutest picture!

Anyway I was thinking about this just today. At some point in life I moved on from relationships as they were more trouble than it was worth, and began to... not just devote myself to fandom as I always had but just accept that I am better suited for fandom as a "family life" experience than for a romance. Surely it gets a little "why can't I be normal? sob" sometimes, but most of the time I am SO MUCH MORE satisfied than I know I would be if I was still trying. I wish this was an option for more people, I guess. I wish society would just accept that not everyone fits the "romantic relationship, a child or two and a dog" lifestyle.

I wish people who are not suited for the "romantic relationship, a child or two and a dog" lifestyle would realise it before they have the child or two and make everyone miserable! And they seem to be the ones defending it hardest, because if they could just make everyone see it's compulsory, they'll feel better about having chosen it.

NAYRT--as someone who wants but will not have, barring, idk, divine intervention, a romantic relationship and kids (I might be able to get a dog at some point), normalizing not having that life is good even for people who want it.

Both as reassurance that their absence doesn't make life meaningless, for people like me who struggle to care for themselves sometimes and can't manage a romantic partnership or a decent life for hypothetical children, and to stop people who have partners and children from being awful and judgmental about people who don't have or want them.

AYRT - Agreed on this. But I don't think there should be a "right" or a "wrong" in ANY way. It's just a choice; some people like blue and others prefer red. Some like green, some... anyway. Some people want it and they may not be good at it, too. Some people are very suited but just don't want it. All of that should be okay IMO.
