For me, my life began the morning after I graduated high school. The only people from before that I'm NOT in touch with but want to be are unfindable on Google because their names are too common. I know I probably could locate them with a little more time & money, but really, who cares? What adulthood always promised, and delivered, was choice. I wouldn't have to be in situations and around people that I didn't want to be and around. Mostly. I can't say about having kids, not having any. If you hate it, you're probably doing it wrong, or maybe the rewards are deeper and more spread out, and when you really think about it, you think "it was worth it."
