Daric's Diary: Baby Fever

Baby fever, the yearning to be a parent after being exposed to good aspects of having a child.
This typically happens when I’m spending time with my niece and nephew, especially on days like today. Today, January 7th is my nephew’s birthday. He turned 8-years old.
It’s weird the way a spell of nurturing comes over you when the wellbeing of child becomes important to you even if it is for brief moments. Those moments make me want to raise children of my own. Actually, it’s funny that I’ve mapped my life out in a scenario as a single parent of 3 (1 older child, and 1 set of fraternal twins). I’m not sure if I’ll adopt or have a surrogate mother just yet, either will be okay with me honestly.
I always told myself I would give my future children everything they need and support their dreams. But for now, I’m working on myself and getting established so that I am well off enough to not only take care of myself but my future children. This idea of having my own family is something that makes me want to hurry up and graduate so that I can start loving the life that I want to live and growing in my career so I can provide a stable home to my future kids. Crazy thing is, I’ll barely be 22 on January 9th and I have a long way to go before I have kids of my own. But I appreciate being an uncle and gaining some nurturing experience, that will definitely come in handy. Baby fever, has not got the best of me just yet as I know it’s not the time for me to start my own family but it is a constant reminder that someday I will be the best father I can possibly be.
