No. Even if I found the partner of my dreams like they materialized out of thin air & introduced themselves, I find children unethical and I am not parent material. I'm not sure what reality people are living in, but I remember summers growing up full of bugs & lizards and breezes, it was my favorite season; every. single. summer for the past 8-10 years has been absolutely infested with fires, poor air quality, the worst, most sweat inducing, hellish fucking heat and humidity, record breaking everything. Spring and autumn have seemingly become almost nonexistent, I've witnessed them whittle down to just a few weeks out of the year for each. I didn't grow up in a place with winter, but I've been living somewhere with all 4 seasons for over half a decade now, when I moved here Christmas time was covered in beautiful, fresh, puffy diamond-glinting snow, for the past 2-3 years the bodies of water we have don't even freeze over until January. I swear I remember the first major fire season as like a sharp turn, normal summers to suddenly being inside for weeks on end while the outside sky was reddish-orange and snowing ash non-stop, and then it never stopped happening annually every year since. I have to wear extra strength prescription anti-perspirant in the summers now or else I sweat literal rivers from my armpits and reek like B.O. 1 hour after a shower. There are no bugs anymore, it's a treat to see wild life, the last few years living where I grew up I never saw lizards or insects running around in my backyard anymore, even though as a kid I remember finding and catching them regularly. Where I live now I see small mammals and birds often, but still not many bugs... and bugs are my favorite group of creature ever. Bugs are the foundation of everything, they're the ground level of the ecosystem, and they're disappearing and people don't even notice because they don't like them, they used to be everywhere, I mean they make up 80% of the fucking animal kingdom, so where the fuck are they? There used to be a lot more of them. At this point the decline is so glaringly obvious every year.. every summer is hotter, every winter is weaker.., it's not ethical to be having children, I don't think I even believe gen Z and gen Alpha are gonna have full lifespans, the next 10 years seems pretty bleak, and now A.I. data centers are being constructed everywhere there's a fresh body of water to suck up, people are having babies just so they can burn alive before 30. All this incessant political discourse, identity politics, "Us vs Them", "Black vs White", "Cis vs Trans", "Hetero vs Homo vs Bi", "U.S. vs the world", etc, etc. Meanwhile none of these people who all hate each other and themselves are gonna live much longer if I had to guess, everyone wants to pick apart each other and drown in their own hypocrisy on the internet before they acknowledge that the actually important, pressing issue is that the Earth is burning. Guess humans aren't gonna figure out their own dynamics, they're just gonna kill themselves in a boiling pot of water.
Don't even need to explain how I am not parent material, I think the above is reason enough not to have children.
