Grew up with that mind set. I wasn't supposed to go to junior high, much less to high school, let alone college - Armageddon was eminent.
Life was so horrible, boring, and hopeless, that I never wanted bring kids into my emptiness. But they definately encouraged everyone to wait for paradise 😒
I have a 16yo daughter - she's the best, and so glad she's not putting her life off for the apple pie in the sky paradise 😜
