But for each bit it scares me there are two bits that beat that one up and say, "We've got this." I spend time with so many people, especially recently, who are moving on to the point in life of settling down into adult and parenthood and it gets to me deep in my heart. They have homes coming together, kids either being born or growing older and it brings them endless hours of exhaustion and pride that is obvious in their entire demeanor.
It occurred to me again tonight when I saw a couple friends in their home while we hung out. I could look around and see toys piled together after kids were done playing with them and art they had made for mom and dad and I started to think about the future and how excited I would be to hear that I had a little guy or girl coming. I know, I know; I'm only 24 and its pretty fucking early to feel this way. But hearing people say how good you would be, seeing evidence of how satisfying it is and just...knowing myself and how I work, I can tell that if it happens soon that I would charge ahead. Teach that kid every nerdy hobby of mine he wants to learn and every sport or piece of information he wants to know.
I still desperately want to becoming involved in English and becoming published but I feel like I had to really type this down to let it sink in. There's a tie now and it's not going to change.
Till next time!
