get sterilized

I’ve spent the time thinking about it, talking about it, and imagining it…

and now I know I really want to do it!!!

I’m so excited. Now that I don’t feel stuck on the issue I can feel free to make so many other plans for my life.

Now I just have to make sure I’m sure.

This involves not overanalyzing it too much. Just reflecting on/feeling out who I am and what I want for my life.

Not so cool!

They can cause serious health problems, especially if they’re a poor fit for your uterus.

More trouble than they’re worth. Back to Plan A. Getting fixed!!

is expensive.

Until then, I think I’ll go with an IUD.

To my mind, the only difference between adoption and having your own is that in the latter case, you’re passing down your DNA. Either way, you’re raising a child.

If I decide to raise children, I’m going to adopt. I don’t care one damn bit whether or not I pass on my genes. And I don’t want to be personally responsible for adding another human to this earth, when I know it’s already overpopulated. With knowledge comes responsibility, after all.

So why not “get fixed” and make what I intend never to do (be pregnant) an impossibility??
