"Karashta, you don't want kids? You'd make a great dad."
I've been asked this several times by close friends since my early 20s. My response has always been about what I feel is the irresponsibility of bringing a child I will desperately love into a world that I've seen crumbling around me since my teens.
People called me stupid for believing in things like the oncoming ecological and societal collapses, despite me trying to show them what I'd seen and read.
Somehow, "I told you so," doesn't, in any way, make me feel better about the situation.
