There was an article posted here yesterday about the decline of children having counsins. Aka, more and more people are not having children.

This spawned several threads about the "importance" of having children; about how "selfish" it is to not have children (I will refrain from voicing thoughts on that claim); and how having children is, in and of itself, the most meaningful thing a person can do.

As someone who cannot have children due to cancer as a teenager, I am curious to hear others' experiences in having a life without their own offspring.

How have you organized your life? What have you attached yourself to in order to find fulfillment? What tips or ideas might you have on the topic?
