I'm not talking about wanting to coom. I'm talking about a deep longing to raise offspring and see them flourish more than you.
My eyes are actually getting wet just thinking about it. I didn't give a shit about kids for the longest, but this year I'm starting to feel different. I think its because I've achieved stability and security in my life. It feels like the next stage of my growth is "supposed" to be reproduction.
Like, what was the point of building a middle class life? To rotmaxx alone, coom and game, then die? It feels like my brain is desperately telling me that the drive I felt in my 20s was supposed to fuel me to build the foundation of my 30s, which naturally should include fatherhood. Alas, that's not happening so there's a feeling of hollowness in everything I do.
Can anyone relate to this feeling? Especially dudes who are in their late 20s+ and have the resources to actually raise a kid.
It's like my life is just a futile act of building a sandcastle that's going to get washed away as soon as I die. When you're a good father, you can die knowing you've left something meaningful behind, whether its a competent son or a loving daughter who embodies goodness.
