kids

why do we want to have kids? is it just an animal's instinct to reproduce and ensure the survival of our species? is it because everyone else (and especially all the celebrities nowadays) are having kids, and we don't want to be perceived as infertile/selfish/uncool/etc? is it because we yearn to care for and unconditionally love someone for the rest of our lives, and can't do it unless we create this person out of our own bodies? is it to prove to ourselves (and our friends and relatives) that we are capable of nurturing someone? or is it a last-ditch attempt at reliving our own lives, unmaking the mistakes we've made, letting "ourselves" enjoy what we've never got to enjoy in our own lives, showing our parents that we know better (and often realizing that they really did know better), and so on...?

i have a little sister 14 years younger than me. i watched her grow up, and sometimes when i look at her pic i almost start tearing because i love her so much.

i think for me, i want to have kids because really, there's no way i can keep inside me all the love i have received from God and from my parents all these years. i know i have to pass it on, and give my life to a little kid (or kids) just like how it's been for me.
