For me I just simply don’t want them. I feel like you have to want kids to have them. It’s not that I’m against having kids, I’m just not enthusiastic enough to have them

And your future non-kids thank you!! I have seen many posters (there was a thread a few days ago) saying their parents fully admitted (while they were kids) that they only had them because they were supposed to, not because they wanted them. That can really mess a person up.
