Whether someone wants kids or not is deeply personal, but the idea of continuity you mentioned is powerful. We all need something that extends our purpose beyond our own lifespan children, community, creations, or something else. Without that, life starts to feel like a loop instead of a journey. I’ve noticed how many people my age feel “stuck,” even though they have more choices than any generation before. Maybe the issue isn’t the lack of options, but the lack of long-term meaning behind those options.
