Is That Even Physically Possible?
This is a semi-random post. It’s not as much information as your usual random post but it’s random enough for me.
I heard a couple days ago that a girl who is the same age as me and hung out with in elementary school was pregnant and now has a little kid. I couldn’t imagine that happening to me anytime soon. Me having a kid then it’s like saying “I want to stop having fun”
Emphasis on I because I know there are a lot of young mothers out there and I’m sure that you do a great job. But we’re two different species. Even though I believe I’m more mature than most my age I don’t think I have the mentality to take care of another human being for the rest of my life. I don’t think I would make a good mother now. When I’m in my 20s I plan to move around a lot, the whole “trying to find myself” thing and I think kids need stability.
—————————————————————
Speaking of moving around a lot on of the places I want to visit is Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. It’s the world’s largest slat flat. It looks like your walking on the sky when the ground is wet. I want blindfold somebody on the way there so they could be surprised.
——————————————————
My brother really misses his ex-girlfriend. Sometimes he’s in denial and says he doesn’t need her but I know he misses her. He’s been calling me her name more often. Your brother calling you by his ex-girlfriends name is really creepy.
——————————-
I sure hope there isn’t going to be a draft like the one during Vietnam war. I’m already two steps away from becoming crazy. Well if I get PTSD I can use it as my excuse for when I go on my murderous rampage and hopefully I’ll get not guilty for reason of insanity.
———————–
This isn’t everybody, this isn’t even a majority of my blog friends. But some people/person get pissed because I don’t bother to comment on their blog. I’m sorry that your nap and the number of hours that you sit counting your toes doesn’t interest me. As a blogger you have to think like a visitor
and what would they think of your post.
———————————
Has someone ever really liked you and you wish they don’t. Like they think your so great just because they see you so high and mighty and your really not that special. Then you realized how annoying you must’ve been to your past crushes. Gosh.

I do want kids eventually, but definitely not so soon…
I haven’t complained about anyone thinking I’m so great because it hasn’t happened

Yeah, I do want children in the future, but I’m only 14 and I sure as hell do not want any now!
I don’t think anyone has ever liked me, so I really don’t know of anyone who thinks of me in that way. But if someone did like me, I wouldn’t want them to think of me as their everything. They’d only set themselves up for dissapointment, seeing as every human has their own set of flaws and all.

It’s been ages since your last update; the autosave info/cookie thingy on my browser i.e., name, e-mail, url have been erased already lol!
A friend of yours got knocked up Juno style and all? Whoa! O_O
Aaaww! I wanna go to Bolivia too! Take me with you!!!

Herrrrmmm same here, Exene. I’m already in my mid 20s & I haven’t yet found the desire to have kids because I love being able to move around.
salar de uyuni looks enchanting! I would make it a point to list it down as one of the places I’d like to visit, too!

I agree about being a very young parent. I don’t think I could cope doing that either, and I’m 21 this year! I also think children need stability, and most people cannot provide that until they are somewhat older than us.

My brother-in-law had his first kid at 15!! And now he’s 27 and still not taking care of him! He’s never let a kid stop him from having fun and that’s pretty sad. Some people just should never have kids end of story.
Wow, that place sounds awesome. The YouTube video is so cool. That’s would be a cool place to visit. So when you do make sure to take plenty of photos and if you’re blogging still (HAHA~) post ‘em!!

Yea I used to think “maybe when I’m __ I’ll want kids.” It’s becoming extremely obvious in recent years to me though that I enjoy being selfish & will probably never want kids. I’m countin’ on my sister to have some so I can just be an Aunt! Hahah

I don’t want kids. Like ever. Maybe I’ll change my mind, buuut.
tiffany Said:
on March 8, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Yeah, there are alot of young mothers out there. I don’t think i’d want to have a kid until my late 20’s or early 30’s when I’m financially, emotionally, and physically ready.
Wow! that is a beautiful! I must go to bolivia one day!
That would be slightly annoying that if the person that had a crush on you stared at you. But oh well, take it as a compliment?
Sasha Said:

ahh, that salt flat looks really cool
I’m the same, I want to have kids, but nowhere in the forseeable future. I don’t feel old enough yet, even though I’m in my mid 20’s.

I know I want kids in the future. At the moment, I can’t even take care of myself. Wow Salar de Uyuni looks magical~
In response to your last paragraph, “yes”.

I don’t understand why women (or should I say, girls?) become pregnant at such a young age. I think most of the time it’s irresponsible and, perhaps, selfish. I agree with you about it, except I don’t think it means the end of having fun. It’s just the start of a whole new lifestyle.
I just watched that video and it looks amazing! It indeed looks like you’re wandering around on the sky itself. Wonderful.
Too bad your brother feels so bad about it, I hope he’ll feel better soon. I’m sure it must be scary to hear your brother calling you by his ex-girlfriend’s name, yes.
I love the last paragraph you’ve written down. It’s so true and it made me smile.

Hey silly!
Teen mothers are more likely to not move out of poverty and more likely to drop out of high school / not go to college. You got stats working against you if you have a kid. T_T;
Kind of ironic, but it is physically possible to have children … youngest one, funny enough, I believe is from Bolivia at the age of 5 years old. The child of the child didn’t survive to adulthood though.
It’s good that you’re also thinking about not having a child.

I don’t think I want to have a kid ’til I’m like… 40 or something. Haha.
Salar de Uyuni! I’d like to go there too.
Yep. It’s annoying. But I don’t think I annoyed my past crushes. I’m a pretty discreet stalker.

Sadly there are people younger than you having children. One specific girl was 9 years old. *sigh* What’s the world coming to?
Glad to hear that you aren’t going to go have children now. Continue to think about the future. I’m 23 and very happy that I don’t have any children…I have enough problems trying to care for myself.
Kris Said:

I want kids eventually but definitely not now. There are SO many girls on the side of town I live on that have one, two and even THREE kids and they’re younger then me! It’s terrifying and they can’t even afford them, they have to use food stamps. See, now for me I don’t wanna have to do that. If I have a kid, I want to be able to take care of them with MY money, not tax payers money or government funds.
Lol I would be so mad if one of my brothers called me their ex girlfriends name, definitely creepy!
I agree about commenting on blogs that don’t really make sense or are extremely uninteresting. I won’t bother commenting if I have nothing to say about the post. Some of mine aren’t interesting either but hey, that’s everyone sometimes and I don’t mind if people don’t want to comment, they’ll comment when they see fit and that’s fine.

One of my friends became a mother when we were still 14. I wouldn’t wanna have a child so early too. I haven’t even enjoyed my life fully yet. Haha. I wanna go traveling before I have a baby. I think that traveling with a kid is troublesome =X
I would get freaked out if my brother called me by his ex’s name too =S What happened to your brother and his ex? Maybe he should try getting back with her?

I sure defenetly dont want kids now XD, i agree with you its a huge responsibility and you need to be stable in allot of ways. Kids take huge energy from you.
PPl liked me that way, idk what to think about it…i dont think i’m so special or something, but ppl see in other ppl the things they want to see, which isnt true sometimes
Leanne Said:

I know a couple of girls who’ve gotten pregnant and I totally understand. I can barely take care of myself how am I going to take care of a little baby?! *shakes head*
Catherine Said:

I know someone my age who has a 14 month old baby. But I could never possibly imagine myself a mother right now.
I don’t think anyone’s really had a crush on me where they thought I was so high and mighty, haha. It may have been the other way around, though, and they probably thought I was super annoying.

i lost my other comment
sucks balls man. it was three paragraphs long 
but anyways. lol. ive never had anyone crush on me to the point where they annoy me and stuff. lol. people hardly ever fess up to me lol.
anyways. im sorry to hear about your brother still missing his ex. but it is indeed creepy to be called your brother’s ex’s name. like, what the fuck man? lol
i know a lot of girls my age that have kids who are like 4 or 5 years old now. and its scary. i dont ever wanna go through that. i’ll probably start thinking of having kids at around 25ish? lol

Random post. My fave part’s Salar de Uyuni…. What happens at night? I mean, it’ll still reflect the sky? Meaning it’ll reflect the stars? I wanna go there then. :p I love stars. Hahaha…. :p
Hmmm… I don’t know if I can be responsible enough, I mean with the kid thing, but in the future, I want my own kids, that’s for sure. *grin*

I seriously don’t get why some girls actually want kids at such a young age. I’m 20 now and I would suck as a mother. Of course, everyone’s different, but having a baby when you’re 17 or younger is just wrong.
koko Said:

i know a lot of women who became mothers too early. and one of them is my mom. it depresses both of my parents to have a child so early that’s why they’re practically acting like teenagers… now. o.o
oh cool. that is just so cool. oh my dawg. it looks like a piece of heaven! i wanna go there too! XD
Minna Said:

It’s interesting how biological clocks kicks in at very different stages in life, I’ve met people who would honestly tell me, that if I got pregnant they wouldn’t be my friend anymore, and people who have longed for a child when they were only teenagers. I think we’re making too big of a fuss about it, these days, people a hundred years ago would be shocked to see how old mothers are. People should start worrying about people who have good jobs, can pay for their child and are old enough to drink legally - and still not care for their child - a little more, instead.
And I would find it too, if my non-existant brother called me by his ex-girlfriends name, a tad disturbing.
But you know, why not blog about your naps? If that is what is on your mind. Unless you keep a blog that is there for others, of course. I keep it for my own sake.

It totally weirds me out when I find out people I went to elementary school or high school with are married and/or have kids. I’m 6 years older than you, but like you, I can’t picture myself having kids right now! I want to have kids some day, but I want to do some living first without that kind of responsibility.
*high fives Exene for the murderous rampage bit* I said a similar thing a couple of days ago. Not PTSD related but it definitely involves snapping, killing and pleading temporary insanity!
LMAO @ the last paragraph because it is SO true.

As much as I love kids, I can’t imagine having one any time soon. Maybe in my late 20’s or in my 30’s, if anything remotely maternal kicks in by that time.
Has someone ever really liked you and you wish they don’t — Oh yeah. But I am only bothered by those who get all awkward about it. I hate hate hate awkwardness.
Tiffany Said:
on March 30, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Oh, wow… that place looks neeeat and you’re right, it does look like you’re walking on the sky. If there were some draft for even girls, I wouldn’t even be able to qualify… seeing as I have asthma. Haha, uh, darn? Not.
Hahah @ the last part about… with people liking you and you wish they didn’t. Yeah, I’ve been on that boat… and it cracks me up, because yeah… I’ve thought about how annoying it could be to some guy that I had a crush on him. Hahah, oh well though.

Finally! I found another one whose posts are worth to read~
I know how you feel about not wanting to have commitment. I’m eldest among us siblings and I barely can do the job well! What more if I were a mother?
Thank you for posting something about that place in Bolivia. The video clip made me want to visit the place too~
I haven’t felt being called by my brother/s with their ex-girlfriend’s names…but I do know it would be creepy if ever that’d happen to me.
As for the last paragraph in your entry, yes…I’ve felt that a lot. ^ ^;;

I feel the same way about children. I am 22 and I cannot even believe there are people from my high school who are married and have children — both I cannot see happening for myself anytime soon (if not ever!).
If I blogged every day it would probably be about said topics. And that’s why I rarely blog anymore — for the sake of those who read.
