I understand and agree that it’s a deeply personal decision influenced by individual circumstances. Yours seem especially compelling, and I’m glad to see you’re at peace with your choice.

However, my question is about how one can be certain that forgoing children is the best decision, when they’ve never experienced parenthood. I don’t intend to belittle your experiences or their impact—please know that. This is a broader question. I observe that increasingly, young people delay or dismiss the notion of family for reasons far less convincing than yours, often swayed by hedonistic fallacies. It’s this trend that concerns me.
