What they’re saying

“Last year, I was trying to get pregnant on purpose, and then this year was like, 'You know what? I've made peace with it. I'll tell the universe I don't want a baby and I'll do my own thing and I'll work on myself.' So, I got drunk for two months straight, got on birth control—boom, baby.”

“[It was] the biggest and worst thing I've ever been through. I want a reason, but I'll never have one.”

— Veruca Salt

“I deserve to post my baby like everyone else does. My son lived such a short life, he didn't get the chance to change the world or do anything... These short videos of him are the only impact he gets to make on the world.”
