I changed my mind.
I'm a single 33M and never in my life have I felt that instinctual feeling to want children. That hole that having children seems to fill for some people. I had just accepted that, felt zero negative feelings about it, and continued on with my life...
Then something changed. It was my mind.
One morning, probably because of something I was watching, the thought of a baby popped into my head and my first reaction wasn't "Ugh. Babies." It was "HOW COULD ANYONE BRING A CHILD INTO THIS CAPITALIST HELLSCAPE"
I mean, REALLY. What, The. Fuck. Don't get me wrong nothing has changed about my feelings towards kids or life plans but my primary reason sure has HOLY FUCK.
