Of course you think about it every day.
–
In the beginning, abortion can feel ever present—
like a newborn.
Calling to you as you long for sleep.
Waking you with a need for constant attention.
Interrupting your work
your relationships
your social life.
In the ever-swirling thoughts
you hardly recognize yourself or the world anymore.
Nothing has gone wrong.
This is a part of your evolution.
This is a part of your story.
You are becoming the person you were always meant to be.
This isn’t the time to push back—
this is the time to surrender.
Get curious.
Listen.
Cherry-pick.
Sculpt.
You are transforming
and you have more power than you’ve been led to believe.
Life is an ever-changing recipe.
Abortion is an ingredient in the legacy you will leave.
