Why Don't I Want Kids? - with JP Sears
This brought tears to my eyes. Just the insight - finally, the understanding. All JP Sears's videos are touching in some way - some sarcastically funny poking tongue-in-cheek jests, and others (like this one), gently moving along in an unsuspected method that just hits home right when you didn't even realize you were homesick.
This video in particular beautifully points out how we sometimes ask the wrong questions to get to the heart of an issue. For personal instance, I've dreamed of a son named Jordan (not a name I would have picked out at the time, and this is ten to twenty years ago) numerous times, so I arrogantly assumed it was prophetic (after all, it wouldn't have been the first time I'd dreamt something and it surfaced unexpectedly in waking life) that sometime in the future I would indeed mother a son named Jordan. I'm now 38 years old and still not married, no kids, save four-footed furry friends. I somehow keep dating men who claim to not want children, or who claim to want kids, then change their minds once shit gets real. Until viewing this video I couldn't figure out why. Now I know. My inner child, subconsciously or consciously, still needs some work.
And I have some serious questions about my most authentic desires to figure out.
