If I’d Never Had You

Dear Termination,

You were physically so much easier than I thought, just 2 small pills, some pessaries and a huge "period". Emotionally though not so much. I've spent years of my life being ashamed of you convinced you were to blame for my run of bad luck. I hated myself because of you. But if I'd never had you, I would never have gone on to have my son. I wouldn't have my relationship. Or my current job. Maybe, one day, I should thank you instead.

Xx
