For those that haven't "always known" they wanted to be CF, how did you finally decide?

I’m still in the deciding stage, but pretty heavily leaning to the child free camp. My sister (30) just had a baby and I’m only 20 but for some reason it has meant the pressure has started coming from everywhere for me to have a baby. “I want to be an aunt too!” “I have a grandson, now I want a granddaughter!” “Blah blah deserves cousins!” Then, during a somewhat joking conversation w my mother where she’s pressuring me I say that I’m 20 and don’t want kids. She says that you can discuss this when you’re older and the biological clock is ticking (dear god). So I say discuss it with who??? And apparently she expects me to discuss it with her. Nope I’m out.

Also, the world has gone to shit and the only comfort I have is knowing that I may not have to endure the horribleness that’ll happen in 50-60 years w global warming and that, no way I’m bringing something into this world to experience it.
