For a comedy, The Good Place had such an incredible twist!!! My anectodal observation is that you are very much not alone in your personal decision, Luiza, and more people are talking about it openly in a way that I hope will eventually change that societal pressure/assumption that there is no choice to be made / only one right answer for everyone. If you haven't read The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano by Donna Freitas, you might love it! (A woman and her husband are fighting about their differing opinions on whether to have children, and how they handle the fight spurs nine different trajectories.)
