It’s never to late to try and make friends or look for love. You don’t need children, but if you really want them, you can always opt to adopt.

Was this posted before RD taught her about fwendship? Or did she just not learn a thing?

… Jesus, what took you so long to reply.
 
I I don’t know how she could’ve avoided mentioning children given the core message of the tale. Admirably, you’re probably right about the emphasis on it being too heavy.

it cheapens her declaration of loneliness when it all ends up being about a baby in the end. if the point isn’t to declare we need babies to feel happy, why is an entire third of the story devoted to it?
 
to me it was like, I heard her trying to ignore her injuries and that gave me feels, I heard her trying to disregard her isolation, and that gave me feels, and then I heard her talking about how babies are precious treasures and she can’t have one, and that gave me feels like “oh look someone’s trying to give me feels.”
 
it’s like in the “titanic” movie how you cry over their starstruck romance, and you cry over their desperation to survive a doomed situation and then the film starts panning over a frozen woman, and then a frozen child, then a frozen woman and child, a frozen granny etc, and it’s just so ridiculously over the top you feel like someone’s trying to manipulate your feelings. “women and children first” and then so few of the frozen corpses in the water are men. it’s just silly!
 
but mostly I just don’t want a woman to go her entire life without seeing a single story that tells her women can be happy without babies. so I just like to mention that now and again.

@redweasel  
… Yes? Your point?
 
Daring’s personal issues are not supposed to be reflective of all independent woman. This Daring Do lived in complete isolation. The point of this is that Daring has no friends nor family to share her life with.
 
This is a parable about loneliness, not a declaration that all women need babies to feel happy.

These are the words of Equestria’s greatest writer?

@redweasel  
I certainly dont

you know guys not EVERY woman wants to have a baby

You’re luckier then most, DD. You could have had the family and still ended up alone anyway. Only you’d have been alone and broke.
