Of all of those "mistakes," the only one I find troubling is the ring tattoo. I mean, what were you thinking?? Other than that, such is life, I think a lot of really great, thoughtful people have early pregnancies and decide to terminate them. These things happen to more people than you'd think. I'm glad you feel okay with all of it, you strike me as someone that is comfortable in their skin (except maybe the skin on your left ring-finger). I'll bring some sand-paper this Friday and we'll see about scrubbing that tattoo off ;-) (edited)
Haha. Now I view it as a reminder that I am not ready to get married (yet). If I do ever wed I plan on somehow changing the tattoo so that the significance also changes. I believe the answer is I was 20 and screwed up on substances and experiences and not thinking very much at all at the time. :) Better now. Even at the time, it was a hard choice but I knew it was the right choice for me to make. I do try to be relatively up front about it. I think brutal honesty somehow and sometimes helps. It is not wise to try to hide from ourselves our own mistakes. Plus it is a subject on which I am very passionate.
