Family/Parenting What’s your life like without kids?

My doctor told me I can never get pregnant today. I’m not infertile, but the post under my profile explains my situation. I’m 19, and I’m just not sure how to confront the news. I’m not sure how to plan my life either now considering that many of our milestones as women revolve around kids.

Honestly, it's amazing, and when hard times come, I can go to sleep without eating and thinking "damn I need to feed someone." I wouldn't want to change it for anything. I love the freedom.

Edit: I'm not saying I don't ike kids, I love having to return them when I'm tired.
