my boyfriend at the time took advantage of me, did not listen to me, and a month later i started craving blueberries (of all things!). sharp noises irritated me all the time, i was exhausted and never felt like going out…so my friend suggested i get a pregnancy test. which, obviously, turned out positive. i was actually very calm and level-headed with my decision. i went for the medical abortion and my friend stayed with me while my body underwent the process. the following weekend, i felt liberated. never again will i let someone, no matter how much i think they care about me, do something against my wishes. i have much higher self-esteem and when i have a steady job, income, and husband, i will become the mother i’ve always wanted to be.
