What I wish I had heard after my abortion:

"You get to decide what it means." 

☀️💛☀️

After abortion our thoughts can 
swirl
cycle
and torment us.

Birth control can’t be trusted.
People can’t be trusted.
I can’t be trusted.

Brains are always looking for a way to categorize and catalog our experience,
but as clever as they are 
they don’t always have our best interest in mind. 

We get to decide; 
we can put our brains to work for us 
not against us. 

We get to believe anything we want to believe.
We get to decide.

Abortion showed us what to trust
who to trust
and how to trust.
