I'm aware this will probably result in a million angry response "confessions", but anonymously is pretty much the only way I can share this opinion. I feel like people think giving life to another human being is this miraculous thing. But how many people grow up and hate life, live miserable lives stuck in crap jobs never fulfilling their dreams? I don't think there's inherently anything good about giving life to another being. My life is pretty miserable and I actually resent my parents sometimes for bringing me into the world. And no, I'm not depressed. Though I'm not surprised that a lot of people are. "I didn't ask to be born" is a very immature and teenage thing to say, but the people who say it have a point.

Grrrr. I'm upset with myself for being so attracted to a guy who is married. I've never looked at a married man this way. I had such an intense sex dream about him. I can't stop thinking about it. I'm constantly thinking about him. What's worse is, I've caught him staring at me on numerous occasions. I look forward to seeing him in my dreams again, but I don't want to find out if he's actually DTF.

It has never felt comfortable or genuine to brag about my children or "put out there" these grand dreams. But boy, I certainly watch a lot of people who do this have their wishes come true. I tend to get punished by the universe for bragging. But I guess hat's off to the people who start talking about the Ivy league or what have you in 6th grade, and then have it come true.

I start working night shift soon. It's 2:15 AM and I'm up because I'm trying to get my sleep schedule "changed over". My DH is passed out in bed and our dog is barking in her dreams. Why oh why can't I be passed out with them? Sigh.

Dear 17- year-old self: Just because you think you're madly in love, don't throw away that college scholarship because you think you can't live so far apart from the 'man of your dreams.' And don't think you have to marry that man just because you had sex with him. Don't think that by moving 1000 miles away after being married two weeks would be all hearts and flowers. And for goodness' sake, remember that the sum of all the events in your life will bring you to a good place years from now.

I'm about to turn 31 and I've spent almost 31 years of my life living how I feel other people want me to. This is my fault and I have to find a way to fix it. Unfortunately, those choices I felt I had to make for them include a husband I don't love and a second child that makes my life very difficult, despite my eternal love for her. Not easy to change my path of life in this position. My main goal now is to teach my daughters to live the life and the dreams they have and do it for themselves.

So I really like this guy I work with. We both know a 15 year old kid who lives in an abusive environment, and somehow they both found each other and kind of play a father-son game that has helped them both overcome a lot, and I have in a way facilitated the whole thing. I have a 10 y.o. daughter. IN MY DREAMS we all make a perfect family. I fantizise about that even though in reality I know it would never work.

I just realized a lot of my dreams have come true. I am a very lucky girl indeed.

Dad I hope you find the diner of your dreams in Heaven, where the bacon is always crispy, the coffee is always fresh, the eggs always cooked to perfection. I hope the waitresses are cocky and efficient, just like you like them. I hope you have breezy days with no grass to mow, I hope you find yourself tall and strong like you used to be, may the car shows in heaven be filled with amazing chrome, may you have as many cats and dogs and rats as you could ever want. I hope you find a fresh farmer's stand with corn and tomatoes. I know your friends will be waiting, with a huge table to sit around and good cigars. May the grill be working just fine and the barbecue duck and ribs be tasty. May you find the perfect bread recipe. I know the weather will be perfect, with just enough rain to make it cool and plenty of space for gardening. May you have all your favorite music and books lined up and ready, any time you want it. May you have a peaked thatched roof in your reading room and windows open to the ocean sounds and iguanas perched on rocks, an avocado tree and armadillos, may you be able to visit when you can. Visit in our dreams.

I'm CF and I've had those dreams sometimes about being pregnant and giving birth. I'm sure parents sometimes have dreams about being single and CF again. I wouldn't fret about it.
