It was just a little over a year ago, I was 20 years old when I made a decision that I thought would change my life forever. I was pregnant and decided that it really wasn’t for me at that point in time of my life. I was broke and didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life and job. I discussed everything with my boyfriend who was very supportive of what I wanted. He even understood that I wished for him not to accompany me to the clinic because I felt my best friend would better understand what I was going through.
Once at the clinic the nurse explained what would happen and how I would feel after the procedure. I was nervous at first, I had never had anything surgically done to me before, but my friend was there to make me feel more confident about my decision. The procedure went well and I was home in no time at all.
The next day I was a little upset because I felt maybe I was being selfish but after really thinking about my decision, I realized that I am a better person by not being overwhelmed with something I knew I wasn’t ready for.
It has been a year and a half and my boyfriend and I have moved in together and since the day of my procedure I realize that my decision has changed my life…for the better, and you know what the best part is…I’m not sorry at all!
