When all this academic stuff finally blows over and things get a move on in terms of a career of sorts, I will be well into my 30's. In 4 months, it will just be 3 more years before i hit 30, and so ticks the clock.
I suppose I am one of those that realised later in life that I should listen to my calling and actually roll up my sleeves and WORK for it. Because, answering one's calling isn't an easy task. St. Mother Theresa didn't wake up one day and say my calling is to help lepers, and it was all given to her. There was toil, there was work, there were obstacles, there was suffering. There is work to be done yet, and alot more of it.
Hence, my personal life will have to be put on hold for the next few years, and by the time I'm ready to start a brood, I may not be able to adhere to the 'Bear children before 35' advice that most doctors strongly dish out. Tonight I had an epiphany, one that I've not given much consideration to but, I suppose with friends and cousins all expecting/delivered, it got me thinking. I would really like to adopt. Not now of course, but when I do intend to start a family, it would be nice to have 1 or 2 adopted children in addition to 1 or 2 of my own. If this can alleviate the burden of a family and give 1 child a brighter future, I'm all for it.
Anyway, I'm just musing as usual.
Good night
