I can barely handle one of me let alone a little version of me. I don't want kids.

I'd rather not even begin to get into this conversation.

I recall a story Donald Trump once told. The story went something like this: when he turned 18 or 21 (forget his exact age) his father gave him a million dollars. But the way Trump told the story he made it sound like his father only given him (Donald) a million (as if his father was obligated to give him more than a million) and he also made it sound like his father just threw him out into the world without a safety net. When Donald Trump tells that story you can hear by the tone of his voice how his father failed him. I am only conveying this to show no matter if you're rich or poor - even if you become president - you're going to feel like your parents failed you.

[MERIT] bottom line: just assume everybody's parents failed them, and then you won't have the inclination to ask such personal questions. idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My parents didn't fail me. I had a good upbringing. I have no excuse for being a weirdo loser. It was just a personal choice, I guess.

80% of that move was incredible. Just didn't stick the landing.
