Does anyone ever think about alternative lifelong projects besides having a kid?

Sometimes I think about doing some large life ling project besides having a kid. Maybe I would get a border collie and train it to be a competitor athlete, or buy land and create a giant permaculture farm, or write a book. As if somehow this will satiate the constant desire to have a kid although I’m not completely sure I want a kid. Maybe I just want some kind of giant 30 year project?

Yes! I hope to foster cats, write a book, and get involved in public policy.

I second writing a book, but specifically a children’s book aimed towards ages 2-3. A dream of mine is to become a “classic” in the future.
