Birth control.

It comes in many forms, and while it can be controversial, it is the responsible thing to implement when you’re out having a good time without worrying about babies.

But it’s not something most of us want to do forever.

When I Started It

I began taking it in November 2020, during my first relationship, when we reached the physical stage. I researched all the options and concluded that the pill would be the best fit for me.

Why I Started It

Obviously, I didn’t want to have kids, but I wanted to have that type of fun. So, I figured it would be responsible of me to do.

I’m still not ready for children, but I also don’t have to worry about it right now either.
