Get on your board
Prepare for the ride
Relax and stand
Feel the glide
Don't crash too soon
Or be left behind
Take it to the shore
Ease in and slide

The Fosters
I have a lot of love. . . for people, things, entertainment, sports, and life. I say that first because, I'm about to talk about my selfishness. I don't have children, which is a good thing. I like that I only have to care about myself. That the consequences of my life mainly only affect me. Yes, that is a little selfish of me. Too often I have to tell people they need to make a choice - Be a parent or be selfish (for lack of a better description). Selfish choices can include choosing to be a drug addict, young 20-something, wife, girlfriend, streetwalker, and the like.
The difference between me and them is that I chose to be selfish, without having a child. My choice does not leave a child or group of children motherless or fatherless. If I had a child, there is no doubt that I would make the other choice. I would choose to be a parent. Parents are not perfect. They make mistakes, forget dates, and sometimes yell too loud. But they are there. They love, provide, care, and will do anything to protect their children.
Often how a person parents influences their children's later relational abilities or inabilities. The men I date or will date have already been raised by their parents. Hopefully. However, for the future daters of the world, please make the choice sooner rather than later. Either don't have children, give them up for adoption, or BE PARENTS. Thanks and much love from The Windy.
