I turned 30 last year. And I'm honestly amazed that people have pretty much stopped asking me about the kid situation. I'm child-free by choice and I'm positive that I always will be. Children of my own don't fit into my life plan. Same goes for my partner.
People used to ask when I was going to have kids. I'd respond with "Never" and was always greeted with "You'll change your mind." I haven't changed my mind though. Pregnancy is frightening and does horrible things to a person's body. I don't want that - I'm just now, finally, learning to love my body and treat it well. Children are....expensive? Smelly? A huge commitment? A challenge? All of the above really, and I'm genuinely surprised I can afford to take care of myself, let alone another life form.
I've been called selfish for not wanting children, but I think it's selfish of others to guilt me into having kids to make THEM happy.

Been there, done that!! Bravo in voicing your conclusion and not keeping down I laud you for being solid and valiant, I applaud you for standing up and boisterous in saying 'regardless you're making sense of. By and by, I don't put stock in the 'ideal time' for having children (as it truly doesn't exist), yet in you feeling most grounded inside, when you're prepared for this extraordinary advance. In this way, live in the NOW, with a viewpoint later on

I feel a pressure to be pregnant and settle down and I'm only 25! It's ridiculous and I think it's because there's an expectation to do things at a certain time and the reality is that everyone is different and will be ready when they are ready!

Aww Soph, thank you so much, my Love! You have no idea how much that means to me! Hahah yes! My mom keeps bringing up my age too sometimes, and I'm like 28 isn't "old!" Times have changed and some people definitely need to get with the times haha :)
Thank you again for your kind comment, Sophie, so glad you liked this post because I was so nervous to publish it!! Love you!!

I totally agree. We all get a little curious, but there's no need to ask someone the same thing over and over again. I noticed that it's usually the same people who love to bring these things up and it gets a little too much sometimes hehe :)
