Hey.
I didn't mean to have an opinion on your body or mind.

Seriously. If you were to tell me you were having a kid, I would
cringe and give well wishes.

I wasn't even talking about you and or your boy... or even you as you.

Back in STL, I met up with clueless friends from high school
who ended their live with wedding vows and children. It is totally a
weak fate to consider falling upon you.

That said, I fail to believe that you would allow a child in your name
to inhibit his or her self for the sake of another.

Back in the day I assumed you would be a brilliant and captivating
professor of sort who could bolster the mind and spirit of individuals
around you. I guess I assumed the way you nurtured minds as a tutor
and instructor would some day be seen in a way that involved spawning.

I certainly would have no right to tell you how to live your life. I
know you're no fool. Hell, dude, you're one of the few I respect. I
feel like you took major disrespect, and I feel like an ass.

It kind of sucks double because I was hoping to hear your thoughts on
the purpose of monogamy outside of family.

I've been feeling pretty pathetic as far as how my love life goes, so I
have spent a lot of time questioning how I use relationships.

Pay no credence to the way I let my anxieties let themselves be known.
You are one of the few free to destroy me, and I trust you to not do so.
