I knew I didn't want kids when I was still one myself, around age five.

I didn't know it was possible to not have kids until I was a little older, so there were a few years there that I was really fucking depressed about the thought that babies were some unavoidable thing that just happened to you once you were an adult.

What?

I never said there was no way to be complete or fully adult without children, or even that I had that impression. What I said was that when I was five and didn't understand how babies happen and the means to prevent them from happening I was depressed as fuck because I thought they were inevitable.

And then I learned how human reproduction works and that such a thing as birth control existed.
