Yes I'm family oriented, love the hell out of children, adore every baby I lay my eyes on, and want to settle and get married to have family of my own.

but I want to succeed in life - go far , be independent and not have to rely on a guy to feel any sense of contentment and security. I never needed that until recently and as much as I love being in love, I despise it for what it takes away from me.

i mean come on, I'm 22.
