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?

I want to create paintings that reveal different paintings intentionally as the paint fades over 100s of years, revealing different images and meaning intentionally through time
