it's a heartache

My cousin adopted a baby boy recently, but the baby's father came to take him back 3 days later. I won't go into the details but what I can say is: My cousin's really sad and devastated right now. I hope she'll be alright. At least she still have her husband beside her to give all the mental support she needs - probably have a baby of their own soon too. :P

Well, this got me into thinking about myself: Will I have kids of my own someday? Should I commit myself to a man in marriage, despite the increasing divorce rate that's happening all around us? Would it be better if I adopt a child instead and remain single (unmarried) for the rest of my life?

Perhaps life is not all about getting married to someone. People won't die without a spouse, despite the famous quotes that lovers used to say: "I can't live without you." Well, maybe you could die of loneliness - but that's probably because you starved yourself to death. But die from being single?? I don't think I've heard of that one.

Anyway, why am I even writing all these??? I should get to bed.
