People often find me a bit strange when I tell them that I can live my life in the future, independently without a significant other, or how I actually am okay with the fact that I can live alone without someone else. I used to think it was a bit weird at first, but the more I think about it, the more I think I’m content with that if it happens. Of course, the future is unpredictable and I will never know who I encounter in my near future, but point is, as of right now, I can really live without having someone being there by my side. It’s nice, yes, but I think at this point, I don’t know if anyone would be willing to adjust to my schedule as I’ll try to adjust to theirs.

I, even think about adopting in the future since I won’t be finished with getting my career until my late 20s or early 30s, if I can do everything according to plan. I think about being a single mother, and that I’m capable of doing it because I love kids. I really do, but at that point, I’m not sure if I’ll have a significant other or not, but either way, I think about adopting a lot. I think, I think about it a lot because it’s comforting knowing that I can raise a child as a single mother just because I know I can do it. It’s not that easy, I know, but the point is, I just know I’m okay with living independently or being a single mother in the future if that happens to be the case.

So, when I tell people this, they either get taken aback a little, or find me strange, but I think I’m just being more comfortable with who I am and how I view things. Of course, there are the selected fews who are just open-minded and find it okay and whatnot. It’s just the majority of people I’ve encountered who asked me about my future gets a little surprised from what I’ve noticed.
