It's official, I'm starting my own movement. It's geared towards young adults like myself who don't want to procreate. Yes that's right, this movement is for people like myself who don't want children today, tomorrow, or 10 years from now.

It obviously has nothing to do with maturity, it's more so the question of personal preference and the desire to take on one of life's most rewarding yet challenging responsibilities. I realize at the age of 23 that I'm not cut out for that lifestyle. Without sounding like the self absorbed, irrational, and egotistical jerk I'm so often yet inaccurately accused of being - I simply want to state "I love my life." When I say I love my life, I simply mean I wouldn't want to change anything about it at this point. The unrestricted freedom, the spontaneous events, and the lack of attachment is enough to make me feel satisfied as an adult. I feel like having a child would further hinder that.

On the street (at work) I come into contact with people everyday who are definitely unfit to be parents, and I constantly ask myself questions that ponder in my head my entire shift. Questions like; Why be a parent that's equally detrimental to the public as the child itself? Being that you have 6 kids in a 2 bedroom apartment let me ask, are you really that fertile or is Birth Control the Anti Christ around here? How is it the kid's have new clothes, but there's no food in the refrigerator? Perhaps more people should take heed to my proposal, and decide that children might not be the best option for them. But then again, that goes parallel with the " in a perfect world" theory.

I've even gone as far as to research the possibilities of me getting a vasectomy. Lucky for me my health insurance covers vasectomies, so it wouldn't be much of a cost factor. The difficult part will be finding a Doctor to perform the operation itself. From what I've been told most Doctors refuse to perform vasectomies on men who don't have at least 1 child. Well, looks like I'm going to go off the deep end on this one. Let's see if any Mexican surgeons take Blue Cross Blue Shield. Besides I hear getting surgery in Mexico is more of a thrill than a rewarding experience. We all know I love a cheap thrill. No pun intended.

This absolutely has nothing to do with how I get along with Children. I love children. It's mesmerizing to sit and watch a child develop from an infant into their adolescent years. In fact years ago when I worked with Children I remember questioning if working with children was something I wanted to do as a career. I love children, unfortunately I love the fact I don't have any even more.

Final Thought: What hurts is some people think it's their personal obligation to have children. Regardless of the totality of the circumstances, they deprive themselves of common sense and make one of the biggest decisions of their lives without thinking rationally.
