This is a very profound topic, so please forgive my argumentative response. Your first sentence kinda aligns with the topic of this thread. We never choose to be here. We only make the best of what we got (or not).

Oh I agree, I just think that saying that reproduction is "what you're really here for" is kinda sad, you're more than a baby making machine

Yes, you are more than a baby making machine, but all of that other potential only exists because it made your ancestors better baby making machines. You can choose to fail at your purpose in pursuit of something else, but that doesn't change that your purpose was to be a baby making machine.

Acknowledging reality isn't sad, and that's the reality.
