I would really like to say starting a family but having one is such a huge responsibility I don't know if I could handle it. There's a lot to be said for being single, being accountable to no-one but yourself and basically being able to do whatever the fuck you want, you don't have that when you have a wife and kids to think about.

Married life can have a pretty steep learning curve if you've been used to the bachelor life for several years. As much of a meme as it is, leaving the toilet seat up is a habit that you will have to break, or you'll never hear the end of it.
Part of me misses not having to worry about anything at the end of the day and being able to veg out playing video game, reading, or watching videos. I do miss only being accountable to myself, sometimes the Mrs. can act more like a mother. It can be a bit taxing to say the least.

That said there are benefits, as sappy as it sounds I'm head over heels for my wife and spending time with her is enjoyable unto itself. I have a trusted confidant in my wife who is both willing to put up with my hobbies but also gives me space when I want or need it. She also cooks for me on occasion (I'm objectively the better cook) and takes care of me when I get sick, so there is that if you can find a worthwhile woman.
The sex is nice too, but sex isn't the only reason to get married. You shouldn't wife a bitch just because she can give a mean blowjob.

As for the OP, I want to get a better job to help support my family. Mrs. Skeltal and I want 4 little ragamuffins to call our own, so I really need that cash flow.

Same bro, I’d love to have my own family but for me while I know it’s possible and I don’t mind the responsibility. the way society and economy is going is discouraging. So much degeneracy and so little jobs but I believe there’s no greater bond than that of a mother and her child which is something spiritual in itself and I long for it, having my children and fight tooth and nail for them, the thought of it fills me with emotion and happiness.
 
My Grandma. She's the one member of my family (aside from my young niece) that I enjoy spending time with. No matter what I'm going through in life, she's someone I can confide in. As cheesy as it may sound, she's not only my Grandma, but my best friend, too.

Watching as she slowly succumbs to Alzheimer's the past few years has been hell. Watching her fade away bit by bit over time is a horrible thing to watch. I'm not looking forward to the day she dies- it will hands down be the worst day of my life- but when that day comes, she'll be at peace. For what it's worth, she's not afraid to die. She's deeply religious, and is looking forward to seeing my Grandpa again on the other side.

Aside from her, the one thing that matters most to me is my freedom. The freedom to live my life how I want, on my own terms, to pursue whatever hobbies and interests I want, when I want.
 
For me... I don't know.

I could say a lot of things. I could say 'my friends', but they've been rather fickle lately.

I could say 'my freedom,' but in the world I'm living in now I don't feel truly free.

I could say 'my health' but I'm not healthy.

'My happiness?' I'm not happy.

'My family?' They don't give a shit about me, and honestly, it's pretty much mutual, save for my grandparents, and they'll be gone soon.

I guess I'll try to be optimistic, though.

It matters that I'm alive.

All this shit that's going on with me? It sucks. I hate it. Every morning that I wake up, I wish that I didn't. It's part of the process. Part of waking up for me is laying back down and making sure it's not just a dream, and I actually did wake up in America, on the planet earth, in the year 2020.

But maybe one day, that will change. Maybe one day I'll wake up and think to myself 'I'm so happy I woke up today.' It may be next year. It may be in a decade. It may be in two or three. It may take a long, long time.

But if I'm alive, I can try everything in my power to make that a reality. I can give it everything I have, until either the wall breaks, or I do.

What matters most to me in this moment is not that my life is good, or that I'm happy. What matters is that I still have the chance to be.
