On the Cost of Life

What would life be in the future if I have children like the daddy in the picture? 3 children, all girls. Eldest prolly in primary school. 2nd child suffered from some problem with her right eye; drooping all the time. 3rd girl barely 2 years old. Very pretty children, can't deny that. Just had to steal looks over my shoulder every other minutes. Because I had butterflies in my stomach. I wanted a life like that too... I think.

Would I be overprotective of my kids?
Would I be a good father?
Would I get bored of a married life?
Would my marriage ends with divorce like many other families out there?
Or, would my family be like how my family was, when I was younger?

Never really experienced a relationship. The few girls that I'd consider taking out on a date, more often than not, I'd put it that I felt awkward. Most would say it's normal on a first date. Wouldn't doubt that. Everything started as acquaintance, and friends, before relationship and settling down comes in. But I just couldn't bring myself to have the courage for anything further than just friends.

Commitment issues? Probably.

I think most probably.

I'm just scared.

My friend has 4 daughters and he has sleepless nights as they are all in their teens! Another has 3 handsome sons and he sleeps well even if they didn't come home from wild parties outside. What do you want now?? :)

we have all gone down that road before - shyness, fear, doubt, lacking confidence, they all affect us one way or the other.

but when the time comes, you will know what to do. it's instinctive, it's a guy thing. ha ha!

Seriously Bong, children?

You know, there are few things in life that despite how much you yearn for, is hardly a possibility. If it happens, it just goes against the order of nature. I think you know what I am talking about.

You used to write things so openly before; why wear a mask now? You don't have to conform to societal norms.
