The Question No Parent Can Truly Answer

Why was I forced into existence without my consent because my parents wanted children? I’m sure they meant well, but I can’t help feeling that, like many people, they had kids to fulfill their own desires, and now I’m the one who has to live with the consequences.

Life can be beautiful, but it’s hard to appreciate when you feel unworthy of love and invisible. Sometimes I wish people had to prove they were emotionally and financially prepared before bringing another person into the world. It won’t ever happen, but it’s hard not to think how much suffering it could prevent.
