Maternal disease

I want to borrow kids, feed them, entertain them, read with them, explore with them, and not have them. I guess I want to be a mommy mundial without the responsibility of making sure they grow up right.

This maternal thing is a strong force to be reckoned with, but I still don't have even an itch of interest in carrying my own. I'm not there. Not that organized, mature, or reliable, employed or otherwise desiring. Still, I am starstruck in the presence of each kid and wish that I had the freedom to interact with each one and be received well.

What's cool is that I'm meeting lots of young women that feel the same while traveling. And in even more extreme levels. For some, marriage is out of the question, for some, just not an interest. Lots don't even consider having kids in the next 15 years. I'm meeting people that are more in love with, say, music than men. Something about that is really cool to me.
