What is your main purpose in life, something that you feel is your calling?

Motherhood. Antinatalists will say that motherhood is a cop out for having a meaningless life and giving birth to another human who will also have a meaningless life. I have known from a very young age I wanted children, always took very good care of my baby dolls. I loved babysitting my younger cousins. I wanted to have a family and love them. I have one, now I already feel a very strong pull to have a #2. Into old age, I hope to either have grandchildren to love on or continue to foster or adopt additional children or be positively involved in the lives of children well into old age. I never want to have an "empty nest", even if my nest is not my biological kids.
