I was stupid. No condom. Didn’t ask to use one. I got pregnant and I didn’t tell the dad. I was 18 and it was my first year away from home. I got depressed about 6 weeks in but still went in and I got it done. Somehow it wasn’t hard. My abortion was actually a good day.

I told the dad and he didn’t believe I was ever pregnant. He still doesn’t. But that’s okay because this was my story and my decision that I chose to go through without him.

I know now to be careful but I will never, ever feel guilt or regret.
