'To people who don’t want children — there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not selfish, you’re not going to be alone, you’re not missing out because you don’t miss things you do not want, and it’s ok not to want children. ...'
When asked why she thinks her video resonated with many, Gvizzle told BuzzFeed,"I think it resonated with people who’ve been told some of those same things. I think young people are just starting to hear those things, so maybe they felt reassured by the video. Older women came out in the comments to back me up and reassure our younger sisters. We're also at a place societally where more people are making the choice to be child-free, and they're vocal about it.
As for people like Gvizzle who know they wish to remain child-free but aren't sure how to broach the subject with those in their lives, she knows it's not always easy."It’s a heated subject — I’m not trying to convince people not to have children while they’re trying to convince me that I should." But, in case you do get asked and have no idea how to respond, she shared a little bit of advice with BuzzFeed.
And Gvizzle has a message to anyone who wishes to remain child-free."To people who don’t want children — there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not selfish, you’re not going to be alone, you’re not missing out because you don’t miss things you do not want, and it’s ok not to want children. It doesn’t make you less than, and you don’t owe anyone an explanation.
Finally, says Gvizzle, her advice to anyone and everyone regardless of their decisions around children: Stop asking people if they want children or not!"There are a lot of people who desperately want to have children but can't, so being asked that question forces them to relive that trauma. Their mental health is more important than your curiosity." Perfectly said, Gvizzle.
