Family

I've been doing alot of observing (well I normally always do), but now its w/more of a focus.. And its get me thinking about families. The concept of them, the purpose of them, why we choose them, etc...When one is free and independent, w/out children or a significant other, there life is their own. They choose whatever and whomever they interact with. They most likely save more money, have more worldly adventures and just exist in this happy "me" bubble and along the way there is an animal or two or three.

But then some people decide to become involved in this messy, confusing, life-altering thing called "Family" its kinda one of those dealios in which you are stuck w/someone who good, bad, or whatever till death do you part. Its interesting at least to me. I mean I come from a stable, intact family but really never had such a longing for a family of my own. I mean it's not something I daydream abt or spend desperate nights searching for a significant others... but in the end, I decided having children was important to me. I guess its a way to open your world in just a new way? A sense of immortality that neither business nor tangible items could ever provide.

But I still have to say that I think everyone's form of whatever family they choose (people or friends) is just as valuable.. I don't know...

On another note, I have started making my baby registry :)
