I'm 40, Single, and Trying to Make Peace With It

I'm 40 years old, single, and I don't have kids. Most of the time, I'm okay with that. But if I'm being honest? It bothers me more than I'd like to admit. Not in a desperate way. More in a quiet, creeping fear that hits when I imagine myself at 65, sitting on that porch in Cape Town, wondering why I never built a family. I've spent years trying to figure out why it hasn't happened for me. Is it the expat life? The constant moving? My standards? Something fundamentally wrong with me that I just can't see? In this video, I lay it all out. The reasons I've identified, the questions I can't answer, and the one thing I keep circling back to: am I looking for something unreasonable, or am I just looking in the wrong places? Here's the thing—I don't have the answers. That's why I'm bringing this to you. If you're in the same boat, how do you accept it? If you chose this life intentionally, how'd you make that peace? I genuinely want to know. 📋 In this video: 00:00 No wife and children.
