I always like to know what fellow ppl with no kids purpose is? Most ppl in the 30s will point to their kids as their purpose or reasons for motivation but when you don’t have a mini what is your why?

I would never willingly subject someone to this timeline. That's cruel
I am here because I am here against my will. Given that, trying to help others enjoy being here even a bit by, yanno, being a decent human being and creating beauty where I can is what I can do. We gotta take care of each other.
Humanity is all of our purpose. Our purpose is joy, human connections and making the world a better place for all of us. It’s humanity’s purpose and should be our legacy.
I always cringe when people say their children are their motivation because there had to be something before that. Your child should develop into their own person, not a representative of what their parent accomplished. We all need something that is of our own mind to push us forward
I believe both can coexist: I have my own purpose, and my daughter is my motivation. She didn’t ask to be here, so I strive to be a positive role model—not for her to replicate my life, but to show her what it means to be a decent human being and to inspire her own path.
I agree that it has to coexist because the children are not going anywhere. They are there every day and they see you at your best as well as your worst. How they see you go after what you want teaches them
No, not professional just as a passion for wanting to see us thrive in every way possible and knowing that we need others to pour into us so we can see how full The Most High made us
Granted - I’ve NEVER wanted them. So, it’s easy for me. Service to my community, friends and family. Support to all of the amazing kids in my life - kids need multiple trusted adults. It’s a privilege to be that person. Continual learning on my part. The world is fascinating.
Really does take a village! I can point to multiple adults that helped shape me! Kids can see more then their parents and if everyone else is contradicting what they parents present it’s going to be an uphill battle for them… it’s doable but up hill
Yes I do, except this time around worst situation, born to crack parents put in fostercare, then adopted, verbally abused, didn't find out I was adopted until 4 years ago... not good for mental health, but I'm working on it
Sorry to hear! Mental health matters! I’ve been going to therapy for years and it’s helped me so much! Just know your upbringing isn’t you! You define who you are presently and in the future! Making it through that is something to celebrate! You’ve seen a side of life a lot can’t fathom
One of my close friends was adopted and basically treated like a slave growing up! Some ppl have such are harsh path in life! But yea if/when you find a therapist make sure you get a good one! They aren’t all equal and good doesn’t mean good for you! I took me having a few before I could see
my husband, my community, the innate need to create art, the desire to make the world better for everyone. Kids are an embodiment of a purpose but not the purpose itself. No one is alone: we are all here to make things better for each other.
My purpose is ME! I am still finding out about who I am. As I get older I evolve, and I love it here. Being a parent was never something I wanted. I have NO regrets. And besides; children are not beholden to be anything other than who they choose to be, not for the sake of their parents.
My purpose of learning to love myself enough to be there for my full self and the people that I love. And finding joy when possible. Building up students and learning with them in class.

I also would have been a *terrible* parent.
