It was just so much easier and better than I expected

I also felt guilty for giving up a baby when I know so many people try for so long to get pregnant, including my sister in law.

Overall, I felt relieved. I never wanted to be a mother, and I felt incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to make such a choice.

I go back and forth with validating myself and then tearing myself down.

I won’t let people make me feel bad for my choice.
