Trash, is it you?

You nervous?

Since nobody knows who the fuck I am lemme tell you something (could be TMI if lady topics make you uncomfortable) :

I went to the lady doctor today to get a simple check up bc my period has been acting up and to see if I can get on the pill. You could say it was a pretty responsible thing to do, since I hated these past months of no period (pregnancy scares aren't fun and not knowing why a natural, healthy process isn't happening plus having pretty embarrassing side effects from it feels pretty fucked)

Since I get pretty bad PMS I was reluctant to get on the pill, but my doctor reassured me that this particular pill would help me against those symptoms that I hate so much and said that it would even stabilize me.

Pretty good deal right?

Wrong

Why?

Because I come from a catholic family that hates the fact that abortion is an option and is afraid of the pill as a contraceptive method.

I myself think that abortion should be legal, but I realize that having an abortion isn't exactly harmless, if not even traumatic. It's not like gettind rid of a cold or some parasite. So to those that do go through with it: You did the right thing and there's nobody that can tell you otherwise. Going through an abortion isn't easy and you have your reasons. I would've had one myself if I had been pregnant. I'm still a kid myself.

Anyways: A big part of me getting on the pill is for me to never be put that situation. I see it as taking responsibility, as taking care of myself.

Right?

Wrong

My mother sees it as a way for me to be sexually promiscuous without the possibility of having consequences, putting myself at risk for STDs.
