it’s not easy to escape millions of years of evolution

It's insane that we're tied down to instincts when we believe ourselves so rational and sophisticated.

But funnily enough, I don't have that instinct? I'm more than happy to be an uncle and that's as far as the train goes for me. I can't see myself waking up with a child on my mind. So mad respect for those who commit and become wonderful parents. I think it takes a special kind of resilience that needs to be awakened when you're expecting. Props for those who embrace it.
