It just doesn't seem right... but sickly enough, in a sense I guess it's what adds color to the world. Regarding Pony, I don't consider it sad. Not anymore. I felt sorry for myself enough in high school and when I got my head out of my ass I saw things differently. I don't feel anything about it. It is what it is and I'll just be wasting time by trying to change it. And you're right. More parents should live up to being a parent. I've made it a major part of my life to literally never procreate or engage in any actions that result in having kids. I've never had a girlfriend and I've never gotten any "action" so to speak. I am also literally the only one that can carry my family name on to future generations. I have one sister and no brothers. All of my dad's siblings are female and no longer hold their maiden name. I am literally the only one that can continue my family name. But in a sick sense I feel like my father failed before me since I wasn't supposed to be. I feel like he should've been the last, but he wasn't careful and now the responsability is on my shoulders. And I hold nothing short of every intention on stopping the family name. At any cost. Too many things add up and point to abstinance. Besides, I hate kids. Can't stand them, they give me the creeps. I know that as much contempt as I feel for kids I could never properly raise one.
