Whether or not you decide to have kids is entirely up to you, but it is perfectly normal to have doubts. Many people will try to pressure you into having children, especially your own family. But if you feel that it's not right for you, then you should stick to your guns. #Antinatalism #ChildFree

#ExistenceIsSuffering #Antinatalism
