My Water Allergy

I know water is good for you and all -
I just think it's gross.
I'm trying harder to drink it though.

I was convinced I had the improbable water allergy - despite it being literally like one/billion. However unlikely, there was a stomachache that piggybacked most water ingestions : /.
Then, I learned what an allergy actually was. 
So now, I don't have an allergy. I was soooo sure, too!

Lemme tell you why I did/do like drinking water though...
I like to play with it.
This guy has fun when he drinks it.

A dentist told me it was bad to drink soda (or any sugary drink) slowly. That if you drink it slowly it will cause more cavities. "But, if you drink water, you can take as long as you like," he says.  
My little-kid-brain was like, as LONG as you WANT? 
So yeah, I played/play with it.

Enter: The Process ---

--- Swish it around, puff out my cheeks, squirt it between my teeth, swallow just a little, gargle, beatbox, make faces, try to talk, move my tongue around like it's "swimming" in the water, I chomp the water,
and then,
leave the rest in my mouth until it gets so warm and uncomfortable - it feels like I'm about to swallow lava.

Ya.
Whenever you see me drinking water - this stuff goes down.

Kids

For some reason, I really want kids.

This is a problem because I'm not sure how I am going to get them...

In general, I'm not too interested in dating. 

Now that we have pointed out the undoubtably obvious obstacle I have in front of me - 

let's talk about why I want them: 

• I love to love 

This is a pretty big factor actually. I find myself in situations where I cannot explain, or express how much I care for someone. Like, when I'm talking to a male friend I've known for a long time, it's almost taboo to tell him to "have a nice day," or "be careful." You can't just hug someone out of the blue without an awkward stare - and people hate to be touched. Say you're in a situation with a female friend where you want to reach out and touch them, there's so many ways for them to interpret it, that it seems best to bail out.

If there was a baby around, you would see me plopped down oogling, giggling and wiggling with the little guy all day. My hands would be glued to that newborn. I would be flying him around the house nonstop. Babies never seem to get enough attention. That sounds nice - at least hypothetically. 

• I love to teach

I've found that regardless of how good or bad I am at teaching, it's become a passion. Why don't I want to be a school-teacher? Well, 'cause you can teach in any field. I might as well combine it with something I'm passionate about. 

Now kids...all you do is teach them. Or more important, it's what you DONT TEACH them. This seems to be where parents fail. You shouldn't just teach your kids about the world - you should teach your kids how to teach themselves about the world. This is something I never learned. I feel it really holds me back, and if someone would of shown me the way before, I would be in a better position at this point in my life. 

• I want a family

This one is simple. It covers all my bases. 

Family (in theory) = love

This is the most beautiful thing I can imagine.

And I can teach my kids, my wife could teach me, her parents could teach us...and everyone develops as a unit. 

You know, this all sounds so simple that I don't even want to post it.
It sounds childish. 

But my thoughts are all over the place lately.

And I'm lonely. 

Next post is expected to be positive and coming soon!
