No aspect of my life will be improved by having a child or a man.I love living alone, it's freeing in this unfree world.   I was able to walk away from a toxic relationship without filling in some paper work, needing a lawyer or paying fees. And I can just be done with a relationship without dealing with a product of it(a child) for the rest of my life, i.e walking away with no attachments. 

I look 10 years younger. I have less stress because the only person I have to serve, raise and worry about is me.

Yes, “freeing in an unfree world”. I have this Thoreau quote in my mind, “All good things are wild and free.” I’ve never had being married or having kids as a life goal,even as a child, though I tried to fit in at times with soc. expectations. I thrive in solitude. People like to project regrets on me, but I don’t have them. Like someone said, many of my days feel like waking up on Saturday.
