Dean Koontz once wrote a book called, "brother odd" and I swear sometimes that's whatI feel like except I would be, "sister odd". I've always been different and a little weird than everyone else.
i feel pressured by societies standards of what I should be. I should married and with children and instead I'm a single, small business owner.
As a part of my other blogs, I am not sure children and marriage were ment for me.
There are a lot of famous people out there who arn't married and who don't have children. Oprah Winfrey, Condeleeza Rice, George Clooney. I think its human nature to want to leave something behind. A way to immortilize ourselves like with a statue or a building. That's why architech's build and people have babies.
Just based on my beliefs, I know I have been back many times. I wonder if I have learned life's lessons that I am supposed to learn. I think I have a way to go because I'm still making mistakes. Call me cryptic, but people who die young are the lucky. I DO NOT want to live to be 100!!!
I think I am supposed to do something else. Leave my mark in some other way besides procreate. I sometimes think I'd like to have a child but being a teacher I know how hard it is. I feel bad for my little nephew who may not have cousins.
My spirit is extremely restless, as you can see. I have soooo many things that I am grappling with. Let alone learning how to spell!!! LOL. Most of all I want to find peace, contentment and harmony with myself and the world. I want to redo wrongs to people I may have hurt cause as Anna has showed us, anything can happen. and then what?
I think I am going to write all memorial day weekend long....

I never want to have kids, nor be married. I am working hard enough to make things great in my life. I'm working on getting my Ph.D. as well as getting my small business up and running. My logic, no matter how fuzzy it is, tells me children and marriage is a bad idea.
You are not alone with the desire to leave something behind beside your progeny. My friends and I have often discussed how to leave our immortal mark on the world without becoming immortal ourselves. So far, we have no answers other than giant momuments like the pyramids and the like.
The sanity within is overwhelming.
I always think that if I'm this tired in my thirties, I'll be freaking exhausted if I have to live to 100! I agree with you...I don't want to live that long!
But I may change my tune when I get closer...

I want to live to be 100, but I want to be healthy and capable of doing things on my own at that age.
I think there are a lot of ways to leave your mark on the world- if you can change or improve something, it will be remembered forever.
I love abortion. Read more here:

It made you the special person that you are, you will probably become a master in this or your next ride...

okay, so at first I was way confused by that first paragraph...I was like what you see ghosts and bodachs too? but then I got it and you are a lot like odd, minus the whole spirit thing that is. Have you read all 3 of the books, or just that one? the others are equally good.
I agree though that people shouldn't have to conform to the pressures of society and that I wouldn't want to live to be 100 either.
I don't find you odd because you are not married or have children. I don't know if I even want children. I don't want to live to 100 either. I just told god to let me do the things that I want to do in life then feel free to take me. lol. It is the people who don't conform to society who are great people. They are different and in a good way.

Love comments? I do too!
no it's not that she's saying she is odd really, just that she's very similar to a character named Odd, Odd Thomas. And I'd agree they are very much alike from what I've read in this blog and what I know from the books.
