I'm in a hammock on the bow of a catamaran in Venezuela, anchored in turquoise water, looking at the milky way. This is a pretty special thing to be able to do. But I'm only able to do this because I never found a partner in life and never had kids. If you find yourself wishing you could do the things that I can, just remember that I'd rather have what many of you have - to be surrounded by people I love! Tradeoffs.
