I was 23 when I found out I was pregnant. My boyfriend and I had been together for over four years—he’s Catholic, but when I told him, he didn’t judge me or try to sway my decision. He just asked how I felt and said he’d support me no matter what. And honestly, I already knew what I wanted. I was in school full time, didn’t have a job, and I simply didn’t want to be pregnant.
It wasn’t a decision I struggled with—I felt clear and calm about it. I didn’t feel ashamed, and I don’t feel regret. I knew I wasn’t ready, and I made the best choice for myself at that time. Looking back, I feel proud of how I handled it—with honesty, strength, and love for the life I’m still building.
