From Someone Who Might Have More Animals Than Kids

No, I don't hate kids, I just like animals more.

From Someone Who Might Have More Animals Than Kids

No, I don't hate kids. I just prefer animals. Yes, I would like kids. Maybe one, two, no more than that. I just choose to not have a lot of kids. I think about how many animals I'll have, though.

I believe some people want to have a lot of kids and don't like pets. Some people like both a lot. This does not make me mean person, nor a person who does not want a family. I am a very family oriented human being. When we were younger, our teachers would ask us, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Of course, we had those few peoples who said, "A mom." I can understand that, but I do not choose to only do that all my life.

In a sense, I think animals can be easier to take care of. They are most definitely cheaper than children. I have always thought about how many animals I wanted and how I'll be a good Mommy to all my cats. I will probably end up being a crazy cat lady with no children. My husband will have to deal with my love for animals. He will have to deal with my constant desire to spoil my animals.

Twins run in my family and I'm honestly terrified of just that, two kids at once? This could be one reason why I will probably want to wait and wait until I am absolutely positive that I want a child. I think having a kid to continue my family line, would be very nice, but I do not think about it as much as animals. There is just so many pets that do not have homes. This could be why I am so happy with adoption.

Do not hate my decision to not have a desire of having children. I could be saving us from another over population. Maybe I will have kids, maybe I won't. I am going to be a mommy of many animals, though. Animals deserve a lot of care also. Call me crazy, but I am going to have more animals than kids.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
