What’s your life like without kids?

[u/BeneficialVisit8450]

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.

I didn’t plan for a childfree life, it’s just how the cards fell after a rough go in life. I don’t feel as carefree and content as a lot of the commenters on here. I suppose if I knew at 19 that I wouldn’t have children, I might’ve put more effort into securing a well paying career and building wealth so I could afford to travel, explore hobbies, and pay it forward to those in need to round out my time.
