August 5th

"I'm getting married on August 4th, August 5th: I'm throwing my birth control away"

That's what I've been telling people all year and now that time has come. I am going to finish the cycle though.  It seems like a bad idea to just stop abruptly.

Two active pills left.

I've been on birth control for my entire adult life. Eight years... And counting?
Who am I outside of the hormones. Will my personality change? Am I actually far less emotional and more rational than I believe I am?

I think it's time.
