Being Okay With Choosing To Not Have Children

It's been a long process to land in owning that I don't want to have children of my own. I've wrestled with this for some time, listening to others opinions, watching others with their children and thinking, "fk, am I missing something?" I've  been told me many, "oh but Kat, you'd be such a great Mum!" I look at my parents and think I'm robbing them of something wonderful, come on Kat, just do it!

But to be radically honest, I just don't have that deep down feeling in my guts to have a child. And when this deep down feeling has spoken to me about other areas of my life, I know, "yep, this is for me!" 

I feel pretty raw about sharing this and uncomfortable. But this is my truth and I'm becoming more confident in owning this, despite what my ego, or others, say.
