Speaking Light Into Abortion

What I wish I had heard after my abortion: "You get to decide what it means."  ☀️💛☀️ After abortion our thoughts can  swirl cycle and torment us. Birth control can’t be trusted. People can’t be trusted. I can’t be trusted. Brains are always looking for a way to categorize and catalog our experience, but as clever as they are  they don’t always have our best interest in mind.  We get to decide;  w...

What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “You couldn’t have been or done any more.” ☀️💛☀️ Everything that led you here was enough.  Including you. You are enough. You did enough asked enough considered enough tried enough. I know this to be true because “enough” is a fallacy. Enough is a lie we’re all striving to achieve but the truth is there is no enough .  It doesn’t exist. You couldn’t have...

What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “Your thoughts will change over time.” ☀️💛☀️ Time doesn’t heal all wounds.  Emotional pain after abortion is sourced in our thoughts.  What we think is what we feel.  In time, thoughts change. Changing thoughts, changing feelings. Tend to the gift that is your mind. Your mind is where you will find peace; your mind is where you will find freedom.  Your m...

What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “It’s okay to be uncomfortable.” ☀️💛☀️ Comfort is a beautiful thing: a resting place a being place. But not a growing place. Comfort doesn’t expand you. Discomfort is where you grow.  Discomfort is a feeling and it’s meant to be a part of your human experience.  We are designed to break open before we bloom.  Abortion cracks us open.  It reveals to us  —...

What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “Abortion is how you parented that child.” ☀️💛☀️ Each of our children are here to teach us something.  Our relationship is mutual. Some might tell you that your baby had no voice but they are mistaken. Souls who choose wombs marked Pregnancy NOT Desired know exactly what they are here for. Anyone who tells you otherwise  does not give enough credit to th...

What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “You’re not that special.” ☀️💛☀️ It’s true. And it’s great news. I know you feel alone. I know you feel unique. I know you feel different. But you’re not that special. Not in that way.  The complexity of your feelings the loneliness the confusion it’s all normal and typical  and expected. What will make you special is how you rise . Your strength your st...

What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “Reunite with your body.” ☀️💛☀️ You lost touch when your mom told you  you shouldn’t eat that third cookie at age ten. You lost touch when your  friends in middle school had  less belly in their bikinis. You lost touch when you told him NO and he fondled you anyway.  You lost touch when all those fertility treatments failed.   Or maybe you didn’t lose to...

It mattered when you chose abortion  and it matters now.  What you want will always matter. Even when you don’t listen to it— it matters. There have been and will be times when what you want gets swept away in other people’s dreams other people’s fears other people’s beliefs but that does not mean anything about you. Be in a relationship with your own desire: get to know her play with her dance wi...
