I'm obsessed with common secrets, the things that happen all the time but no one talks about or if they do talk about they usually do it with lots of judgment because that's the only way the discussion is allowed.
This is on that.
It's about miscarriage and abortion.
But it's also about statistics.
And the less bad of bad options.
And the way we judge women.
And what we say on Twitter.
And being uncomfortable.
And controlling our lives by telling our stories.
