K san (Mr. J's girlfriend) and I talked about marriage and children the other day.

K san is worrying about her future. She would like to have a plan such as when she gets married and when she has children. It is very understandable to me. As a woman who wants to have children, it is important to have a plan for that. After all, when a woman grows older, it becomes more physically dangerous to get pregnant.

Unfortunately, guys don't like talking about marriage and children, particularly someone like Mr. J who has no plan and likes playing video games most of the time.

I also think about marriage and children. There are just way too many things that I want to try and do. Because of this, I have been thinking about not having a marriage and children. (^^;) I always believe if I have a family, I have to give up a lot of things. Some of my friends also said that it is probably time to get married when one finishes things she wants to do and try. However, I am a kind of person who will look for new things right after finishing the old ones.

It's a lie if I tell you I don't want a boyfriend. However, I never worry about it (My parents and relatives do though). He will show up himself someday when it's about time. (laugh) I see it as a trade-off with freedom. For example, now I got a job in Japan. If I had a boyfriend in Canada, I may struggle whether I should go to Japan. Nevertheless, I actually don't think anyone can interfere me to achieve my goals. I am a very selfish person. (^^;)

Although I keep yelling, "I'm not going to get married! I'm not going to have children!" all my friends said that I will change my mind two or three years later. They all said that they had the same thinking as mine when they were young. As they grew older, they wanted to have a family.

We'll see.
