Ok this NEEDS to be addressed....
Before I began to blog about whats currently on my mind, I first wanna take time to say that in NO WAY am I trying to offend the people who are currently in this situation. I am just speaking my mind on the subject just like anyone would
Now...Lets begin...
I understand that I am getting up their in age..I'll be 21 in Aug (The 17th to be exact)..And I recognize that people around me are getting older also..So with older age, comes older choices and responsibilities..But WHY is it that I keep seeing our young AFRICAN AMERICAN woman pregnant or with child at ages 17-22?? At first, this didn't really bother me because it was subtle back in 2008. But during the past 2 years it seems as though their has been a SERIOUS "Baby Boom"...Kids are being born left and right... Don't get me wrong..Any child is definitely a blessing from God but what ever happen to wrapping it up? Pulling out?? Or just not having sex at all (Trust me, its possible). With most instances, I'm seeing "baby mama" pics without a father in sight (That's Dead)..
It cant be JUST me seeing this or even thinking this way...Im sorry but its turned from an "accident" or (God forbid at our age) "Planned" to a serious epidemic that NEEDS to be discussed..
Sex (At our age and outside of marriage) is the leading cause to relationships going BAD. Yes sex is healthy in a relationship (WHEN YOUR MARRIED), Don't get it twisted and try to justify it. When your having sex with your BF or GF, your IN the "baby makin business".. So sweetheart, don't be all shocked when you miss your period. And Sir, don't act surprised when you get that "late text" or that "Uhmmm...Baby..I think we need to talk", because you ALREADY know whats coming..If your in the "business", don't be shocked at the "product" you helped produce...
We need to slow down...

One of my objectives in life:
To FULLYunderstand every single aspect of a "human relationship" (Whether it be Mom&Son, Father&Son, Mother&Daughter, Husband&Wife, Teacher&Student, Boss&Employee, TwoSameSexFriends, TwoOppositeSexFriends, etc.) By doing this, I believe I can fully understand all the interpersonal encounters that occur between the two (Emotions, feelings, moods, interaction, love, Sadness, happiness, etc.) By doing this I can fully grasp and understand people in general...Now that's what I call an Equilibrium of Compassion =)
God is first in my life..And everything else falls after (Matthew 6:33)

"We need to down slow"... In fact, I agree. #Confession... In April 2010, I was pregnant. Luckily, I took the morning after pill, which took about a month before my pregnancy test was negative again. I'm saying this because I was raised on a religious foundation and I have grown to become a strong supporter of marriage too. My life was so much better when I was a virgin. The thought of being pregnant while trying to focus in school was a wreck and my gpa dropped tremendously. Scary feeling because many ppl look up to me right now. Many days were spent turning sideways in the mirror with the thought of possibly being pregnant. I knew in my heart that sex before marriage was wrong and yet I continued to do it. Eventually, I began to feel as though I was wearing out my welcome with God and he would no longer keep hearing my prayers of forgiveness. With that being said, as lame as it may sound or whatever, I have decided to turn away from sex. My value is worth more than some cheap relationship. A man who truly loves me for who I am will wait until that sacred moment. I just refuse to keep giving Satan the victory.
