While there is a whole lot of sadness associated with the decision I had to make, there is not one ounce of regret. I made the right decision.

This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion

Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.

Here’s an idea:

(Sorry friends, this is an angry one)

Maybe you should fuck off trying to tell survivors how they should feel about their abusers.  Here’s a few reasons why: 

1. You don’t know shit about us or our stories.  

2. Your experience does not in any way dictate or predict the experiences of others.

3. Many survivors have been taught not to trust themselves. You are contributing to this problem with condescending advice that contradicts our instincts and mental health needs.

4.  The way we feel can change throughout the grieving/healing/recovery process. It’s confusing enough on its own; we don’t need your uninformed opinion further muddying the waters. We need to work this out.

5. Some of us can only move forward through forgiveness and reconciliation.  Some of us can only forge ahead fueled by our rage and hate.  Some of us fall somewhere in the middle.  These are all acceptable and reasonable.

6. Only we can decide what is best for us.  You do not know what is best for us.

“Man conquers the world by conquering himself.” —Zeno

Another way of saying we should be mindful of our self talk.

Conscious of our thoughts, words, actions and especially our intentions.

I don’t know who this will help but if you’re working for money/chasing money and you’re not satisfied…I have often noticed that those who are in service to others, volunteering, helping others for free with no expectations… money ends up flowing to them. Enough for more than survival. Do good :) Spread love. Be kind.
