It's crazy to me how many people I meet in their early 30s don't want kids.

It usually comes off in 1 of 2 ways:

1) Defeatist: I'll never meet the right girl or I can't afford a house so how can I afford kids

2) Denialism: Maintaining my freedom is a much better life than being tied down with kids

Whether it be adherence to a moral code, a habit, a person, religion or career, I have personally found that living a life full of commitments brings the most joy so I don't understand people subscribed to #2

My biggest commitment is to myself and giving up is something I'll never do, so I also don't understand #1 though I know why this is pervasive.

To each their own, but on a societal scale, I think this sentiment will lead to a generation of lonely old people. That is both sad and incredibly scary.

Many #millennials are so overwhelmed and bombarded with bad news about the future, and conditionally traumatized by the lack of agency and financial stability that they have been, in a sense, robbed of.

Teaching self-empowerment, and the agency that comes with #fullownership of your life, involves breaking these deeply ingrained narratives down to their core.

This is my work and passion.

The world may seem hopeless, but I’ll say it’s a lot more hopeless without the promise of a next generation.
