I don't know exactly when I decided that I never wanted kids but looking back I can honestly say there were signs going back into my childhood....but for now I will start with the summer of 2007 when I decided to go back to school. For some reason I decided to go to school in North Dakota. Making friends was a big part of my college experience the first time around but now I had enough friends. This time I wanted to get in, get my degree, get out, & then get back to SD where all my friends were & get on with my life.
As a result a result I didn't try to fit in. I didn't try to please anyone. I spoke my mind & didn't really give a shit. I didn't hold back on the fact that I don't like kids or babies or teenagers or pregnancy. They're dirty, & germy, & loud & sticky & make you fat, & tired, & poor!! I LIKED it!
It was nice not to hold back & not worry "what if they don't like me?" I didn't care.
Little by little over the 4 years all these feelings & thoughts that I kept pent up inside me slowly came out. Luckily most people were fine with it. Slowly I got the confidence to give them a giant earful if someone was stupid enough to give me some "Breeder Bingo." (The stupid stuff breeders say when they find out you *GASP!* don't want kids.)
Don't get me wrong. The 4 years I spend living in North Dakota totally sucked but I DID surprisingly make some friends, graduate with the degree I wanted, AND I left a more complete person that was confident in my lifestyle choices!
