    She was an amazing person. She sacrificed everything for her family. She didn’t date, do drugs, or drink. Instead she spent all of her time raising and supporting her 2 sons. I’ve never seen a parent sacrifice so much for their kids. She was always working, always doing something productive. I’m nothing like that. I know that I couldn’t sacrifice that much so I’ll never have kids myself. I do try to lift people up as much as possible though. I have a lot of pain and darkness, but I always try to bring people up or help people whenever I have the chance. I especially like to encourage people to follow their dreams and embrace their passions, because I know how empty life is if you ignore that part of yourself. I love music. Whenever I’m not at work, I’m practicing an instrument, singing, writing, or studying music. Adults often give up the things they love even if they don’t have kids and I like to encourage people to find themselves again.

      I love people like her. She reminds me of my cousin. The level of dedication to the wellbeing of her kids is unreal to me.

      Deciding not to have children, because we can’t meet some ideals, seems a common trait with childhood trauma. I didn’t have a maliciously abusive upbringing, but a neglectful one. My siblings and I also have strong feelings against having kids.

      You are a good person to encourage getting passion back into people’s lives. There are too many of us who feel like we are those nested matryoshka dolls; a shell of a shell, of a shell, with our passions replaced by empty depression.
