Some of you may be in your late thirties, or forties. Raising children, and stuff. 

I feel like being single is amazing, and the curiosity of settling down, from occasional loneliness, might be a big regret down the line. 

So, I accept that I will raise no family of my own, even if I was raised in one. 

Thus I cling to the childhood glee of not being bogged down by A MADE UP family, which is external branches of myself.
