Consequences

Consequences are the direct result of choices we have made in our life. Consequences are interesting because sooner or later, YOU WILL have to face them. Facing consequences happened for me today. I had an appointment with my gynecologist for my annual exam. I requested a complete list of STD testing because I haven't been tested since a year ago, way before having been with my most recent qualifier. My doctor asked me if I had been having unprotected sex which was an obvious answer. When I had to answer him, I felt shame and humiliation surrounding my past behavior. I also felt like I let myself down by not valuing myself more than that and putting my health at risk.
I will have this bloodwork and pray that I have dodged a bullet. Moreover, I will never again engage in such risky and reckless behavior. I love me and I am done hurting myself.
