To The Women Who Choose Not To Have Kids: Really... Thank you!

Thank you for not succumbing to the societal pressures. I’ve known far too many parents who had kids because that’s what was expected of them. 

 ...

Thank you for not trying to silence that feeling in your gut as a means to validate your life. There are too many people in this world who cannot figure out their path — or have stumbled while walking down said path — and decided that maybe having a child could provide that meaning and definition instead.  

I have to add:

Thank you to understand the value of a new life, to not give him/her birth only because you want a new mini-me or a cute one to take a selfie with.
