Epiphany

I just realized today that I don't want to settle down any time soon. I'm turning 32 next month and it's got me thinking about what in the world I'm doing with my life.

Honestly, I don't think it'll be for a long time or ever. I have no desire to marry a nice Asian American engineer/doctor/businessman and raise Asian American kids who speak perfect English. Nor do I have any desire to marry a geeky white guy and have perfect looking half Asian American children. I do not care to join another family regardless of their ethnic background.

I am not interested in being a Tiger parent. The only way I know how to raise kids is by verbally abusing them. I'll spare the therapy bills and emotional scars. I have no desire to stand in a kitchen and serve food night after night. I'm not going to become superwoman and balance a career and kids. I can't multitask very well so I'm just not going to do it.

I like my freedom too much to give it up. Sorry, society, this is what I've decided.
