I have a fear of having a baby .. ever.2
-
I was born without the Mommy gene. I'm totally ok with that. Granted I've taken a lot of crap from people over the years who make it a point of insinuating that something is clearly wrong with me. Nah, I just know what I want in life and don't want in life. Babies are one of those don't want things.2 -

Nothing wrong with that.......I can honestly say I didn't know what I wanted in life until my boy was born and now his happiness is my ultimate goal
. I love that lil guy. 3 -
lucky enough to have one boy and one girl. They are amazing.. and the best thing ever from my perspective2

That's one of the greatest things about living in certain parts of the world. It is YOUR choice what to do with your life and your body. If you don't feel the desire to have children then people should thank you rather than judge you. There are plenty of people who never wanted kids, but did anyway for many different reasons and aren't raising them right because of it.
I’m one of those people. I had kids because ‘that’s just what you do’. Turns out I don’t actually want kids. Luckily you can get a pretty good price for them on the black market.
I’m kidding. The price is terrible.10 -

Teach them a special talent: trumpet, painting, acting, theft. You'll get more that way
I could’ve used you last year when I traded the small one for a kit kat and a coke1 -

I have a couple more yet2 -
I am terrible at applying makeup, putting on nail polish or doing anything that is generally thought of as "feminine" in relation to appearance. I just.. suck at it. And yes, I confess that I am a bit envious of other women who do it/wear it well because I will never be one of those people.
.. and I confess that sometimes, I feel like half the population won't talk to me because of my refusal to doll myself up for photos or to go out and do mundane things. Very rarely will I attempt to put on makeup (usually for a costume or a really special event). Sometimes, it feels like both men and women won't talk to me because I'm not "pretty enough" so they'll never get to know anything else about me. And that ends up fueling my bitter and jaded distrust of other humans in general.
And.. this is a theme that has followed me around since I was young. I thought it might change as I got older, but it really hasn't. Yeesh.3 -

I understand this. A lot. I also have chosen to not care. In the whole scheme of things if someone doesn't like me because of any exterior appearance then they really don't deserve what I have to give in return.
I normally don't care, but sometimes.. it would be nice to know how to do those things I mentioned without having to rely on videos and self-help guides in the hopes that I might get it right. My mother never taught me any of these things, despite being very feminine herself.
Hell, I'm lucky if I have a day where my face doesn't explode in acne or my hair decides to lie mostly in place.
Thanks though. At least I don't feel quite as odd as I do around most of my friends/family. They're all nice women, but I'm definitely the "weirdo" out of the bunch.2 -

I totally get this. I have never been a makeup or hair person and I always felt a little inadequate as a result, especially when I had a boss who told me I should really try to put more effort into my appearance so I could appear more ‘welcoming’ to customers.
Now I have certain things that bother me.. I don’t love my aging forehead
but overall I feel a sense of freedom from worrying about that stuff. I know most women who put on makeup do it because they enjoy it. It’s like a fun hobby for them. Since it’s not a thing I enjoy, I just don’t worry about it. I’m 35. It’s okay to look my age. 1 -

Sooo... their makeup to my yarn then? Not sure which is more expensive, though. I mean, there are some pretty pricey yarns out there.
I might have had more interest in it if there had been people around who were interested in teaching me or letting me ask questions, but eh. I guess that time has passed now.1 -

I’m surrounded by family and friends who like to do it because they watch YouTube videos on it. And that’s fine, but YouTube videos are very forgiving for showing flaws in application, so when you see these people in person (who apply just how they’re taught on YouTube) it’s incredibly thick and distracting. It’s enough to cure me of any belated desire to learn how to do it.1 -

I don't want kids either. I have enough nieces and nephews to give me my fix of kiddo cuteness.
I also struggle with nail polish. Being left handed, my right hand looks awesome! My left hand looks like a sugared up toddler did my nails.3 -

I just.. suck at it. And yes, I confess that I am a bit envious of other women who do it/wear it well because I will never be one of those people.
.. and I confess that sometimes, I feel like half the population won't talk to me because of my refusal to doll myself up for photos or to go out and do mundane things. Very rarely will I attempt to put on makeup (usually for a costume or a really special event). Sometimes, it feels like both men and women won't talk to me because I'm not "pretty enough" so they'll never get to know anything else about me. And that ends up fueling my bitter and jaded distrust of other humans in general.
And.. this is a theme that has followed me around since I was young. I thought it might change as I got older, but it really hasn't. Yeesh.
I totally get this. I have never been a makeup or hair person and I always felt a little inadequate as a result, especially when I had a boss who told me I should really try to put more effort into my appearance so I could appear more ‘welcoming’ to customers.
Now I have certain things that bother me.. I don’t love my aging forehead but overall I feel a sense of freedom from worrying about that stuff. I know most women who put on makeup do it because they enjoy it. It’s like a fun hobby for them. Since it’s not a thing I enjoy, I just don’t worry about it. I’m 35. It’s okay to look my age.
Sooo... their makeup to my yarn then? Not sure which is more expensive, though. I mean, there are some pretty pricey yarns out there.
I might have had more interest in it if there had been people around who were interested in teaching me or letting me ask questions, but eh. I guess that time has passed now.
I’m surrounded by family and friends who like to do it because they watch YouTube videos on it. And that’s fine, but YouTube videos are very forgiving for showing flaws in application, so when you see these people in person (who apply just how they’re taught on YouTube) it’s incredibly thick and distracting. It’s enough to cure me of any belated desire to learn how to do it.
I wonder what their makeup wipes look like.1 -

Luckily for me I don’t have to wonder, because my sisters sleep in my guest room without washing their makeup off.1
