Wow, I'm reminded of the saying "be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it" (i.e. at the expense of everything else).

You just might be successful in your startup, but what is that worth if there is nothing else in your life, and no one to share it with?

Valid question. All I can say is "it's complicated". I'm pretty content with where things stand though. The being single and childless thing also isn't just about the startup thing... it's also a function of me never having met anybody that I felt that strongly about, to want to settle down, get married and have kids, blah. And it could still happen, I'm just not defining my success in life, or happiness, by whether it does or not.

I understand the "it's complicated" thing. My best to you.
