me. oh, the me guess letting go of a lot of stuff that that i thought before and narrowing everything down. what's important, like i wanted children, me, i'd like to have a daughter me through i was basically in the year that maybe was one of the last years i would have been able to have a child. and i didn't really think about it. but when someone tells you what was

your ovaries anymore, and like, the chemo will make you sterile anyway. sometimes i would think about it, and i would just get angry me to get through that loneliness. me. i need this project. me thanks. i know what to do. i, i worried that this hairline fracture had something to do with this because
