If that was a Punisher t-shirt, I'd say I'd be much less surprised.

Just because I’m married with kids still doesn’t make that my life’s goal. Making impactful unifying art doesn’t stop because I’m a mom. I drew comics in the nursery while feeding my newborn at 3am. My priorities have not changed.

I didn't even know my current goals were a thing when I was 17.

I'm currently solo-creating a physiotherapy game console that helps sick kids have an enjoyable and better experience doing their health-preserving physiotherapy. That's my current hobby project. And it's all open source with the build plans available for parents who can't afford to buy a ready-made version.

At age 17 I didn't even know that's something one can do.

What I mean, it's good to have goals, but life isn't over when you achieve them.

I didn't fully appreciate this until after I had my two children at age 21. No regrets of course, things would just have been different if I had had more time to plan.

also, owning a house at 26? barely from this century

Yeah, think around 2006.

Then she ended up going and getting a husband and kids anyway! But it was the bonus round at that point.

I mean, your life after and before cannot be compared, so it is a milestone

I always found it strange how <insert random thing I don't care about here> is considered a milestone to achieve in life. I don't get it.

It's spelled 'millstone'.

because when you have kids your life is over

*if you get lucky and have a nice spawn

"(mainly)" doing the heavy lifting right here

get married, have kids, buy/build a house, get a nice retirement plan and a gold watch, have a nice midlife crisis, eat a really nice steak that's too big for me and finish the whole thing (and this is the important part) while a bunch of people watch and maybe I win a t-shirt, lose a pie-eating contest at some kind of local food festival, that kind of thing

one of my personal ones is to eat one of everything to maintain my dominant position on the food chain, but that's just a lil bit of fun

wrestle a gorilla and win, obviously

Achieving gender equality.

Work 40+ hours and own a house, car, and wife.

Move out of the basement.

I don't know. Maybe fell a tree, buy a nice car and then die by drowning in pussy?

Mines always been to provide for my family. I dont think that really helps what youre going for. I never thought getting married and having kids was a woman's goal, its a lot of peoples goal. Maybe guys lean more toward "have a son" instead of "having kids"?

Can you fix this thing that I could totally fix if you weren't here, but I'm asking you anyway because I love you?

Drops everything

This wasn't the 50s, do the math! 2006 was 50 years ago
