Marriage and children didn’t happen for me - something I lamented for a long time and still sometimes feel grief about, but more and more I am accepting that it was a choice I made, to run from every serious settling down opportunity that came up for me and there were more than a few.

My parents had the traditional division of labor, which I sadly see in many of the marriages of my peers and family members decades later. Things haven’t really changed much except that so many women work out of the home now so the brutality of the second shift is very widespread.

I love kids and will always grieve not having my own.

But I don’t for one second regret the thousands of days I’ve had over the years to do just as I like when and how I please. The thousands of books I read and all the quirky films I chose and watched. The weeks I didn’t do any laundry and the nights I had popcorn for dinner with nobody to complain. And all the endless quiet hours of solitude and contemplation.
