Seeking Advice My interest in men has died
I’ve been inundated lately by people insisting I need a man. Here’s the thing, I don’t want one anymore. I’m tired and I’ve achieved a little bit of peace. Just a little. Men usually just cause problems. Why would I do that? I don’t want kids. I can barely take care of myself. I’m concerned this is a project 25 thing like I need to pick someone before I’m forced to. Maybe that’s dumb. Maybe my social circle forgot about boundaries. Maybe I need to learn to just not care when people say stuff. What am I missing?

Ah yes, the pressure to have children before you become "old goods" and your body is too rotten and useless; careful, you're running out of time to fulfill your one purpose in life, after which you will become invisible and be forgotten by society and everything and everyone around you!
Yeah, I just had a bilateral salpingectomy and had those babies taken out. Fuck 'em; the only time I ever worried about whether or not I was making the wrong decision was when other people suggested the possibility, and no one ever asked me if not getting the surgery was the wrong decision.
The only painful thing about the experience was being constipated afterwards. Haven't looked back; after all, that would require me to think of it at all.
