15 quotes I love

I pulled from a few posts ("15 quotes that give me comfort"; "15 quotes/sayings to put on rocks"; "15 RBG quotes"). 

  1. "You’re braver than you believe and stronger and smarter than you think."—Christopher Robin, Carter Crocker
  2. "I am my own muse"—Frida Kahlo
  3. "If you're going through Hell, keep going."—Winston Churchill
  4. "Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.                                                                                                      Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.                                                                Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?                                                                                  Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."—J.R.R. Tolkien
  5. "I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship"—Louisa May Alcott
  6. "And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good."—John Steinbeck
  7. "Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."—Frankenstein's creature, Mary Shelley
  8. "So, when all that’s left of me is love, give me away."—Merrit Malloy
  9. "I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks."—Ruth Bader Ginsburg
  10. "Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."—John Lewis
  11. "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. But remember this: You have friends here. You're not alone."—Dumbledore
  12. "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."—Barack Obama
  13. "We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?"—Ursula K. Le Guin
  14. "Learn as if you were to live forever."—Mahatma  Gandhi
  15. "Truth is powerful and it prevails."—Sojourner Truth

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
