"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Jimmy Carr realized something big after years with his partner and no kids:
โNot having kids is like playing life on easy mode with a cheat code. You think you have skin in the gameโฆ but you donโt. Having kids is like your heart living outside your body. The stakes suddenly feel real.โ
He says itโs made him more invested in the future, more aware of mortality, but also incredibly joyful.
โMaking the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.โ - Elizabeth Stone
