The reason why I’m upset tonight is bc I think I’ve reached a wall. Many ppl around me are making familes

But I’m not one to be inclined to do so… this then brings up an issue of not being sure of what I want to do w my life- I haven’t known what I’ve wanted to do forever. Don’t think that uncertainty is a good environment for a child anyways!…Well it beckons me; trying to find a reason to live more. Honestly I’ve lived so well including my worst moments *knockonwood* that lately I don’t see the point anymore . Life is wonderful and I learned to appreciate so much!…But who am I, and what should I contribute to the society that surrounds me from this day forth?

Don't feel you have to fill the stereotypes that society, family, friends try to force us into. There is no mandate that says you must have children and be a mom. It sounds like you have been doing well in what you have tried, even if you don't feel you have found your niche yet. Nothing wrong in being an explorer, constantly re-inventing yourself. Lots of us yearn to have done that. If you feel you are missing something in the parental world, try taking in a foster kid or getting involved in some volunteer group supporting schools, kids, youth activities.
