I'm too selfish to have kids

Transcript

Idk sharing my time, money, etc I don’t think I could do it all the time unfortunately. I love seeing other women with kids, kids, I love watching kids, but like, I can't keep a kid forever. Like the sacrifices parents make, I don't see myself making those sacrifices. It's truly, unfortunately, because I'm selfish, I'm a very selfish person and I'm aware at my age, like, I'm so selfish. Like, bringing kids into my selfishness, my dynamic, is just really not gonna fit. And it's truly a disservice to kids. And that's really why I don't see myself having any. Like, maybe one day along the line, I may, little unselfish, start thinking like, than myself, but, now, I think anybody like, the prime matter in my life right now, myself. And I'm fully aware, me selfish, am, me, I would not be a good mother. Kids, but time. Get if kid, where am I gonna give the kid to? This you, like, it, it won't go well. It really won't go well right now.
