So, I'm 28 yrs old and I get asked these questions all the time, "How come you aren't married? and When are you going to have kids?" Ummmm.....why are people asking so many questions? and why are they trying to get into my business? What they really need to do is just stop worrying about what I'm doing and worry about their own lives. But the questions still urk me.
What really gets under skin, is when the people who are in terrible marriages judge me for not being in a terrible marriage like them. Its like they want me to go insane everyday of my life. I thought marriage was supposed to be a sacred, uplifting, and beautiful part of life. I didn't know that you had to live like you are about to pull your hair out all the time. Has our world got to the point where marriages are just a joke?
As I was growing up, I was exposed to different relationships. One type of a relationship I saw was were the couple was married for a long time, but they only stayed together because of the children and old society ways were all they knew. They cuss, scream, and degrade one another and then 20 minutes later they are all lovey dovey. WTF? Everything was split down the middle as far as bank accounts and paying bills. This type of relationship would make me either want a divorce or just walk away from it all together. I mean what is the point of being married if you don't trust your spouse.
The second kind of relationship I saw was the common law marriage. This is when people stay together for a long period of time, but don't have a marriage license. You know it is really up to the people in the relationship to either get married or not. The third kind of of relationship I saw was a marriage where people are loving, caring, uplifting, trusting, and working together for their family. Not to say the common law marriage couple didn't do the same.
If I ever get married, I want a healthy marriage. Screaming and yelling is not only unnecessary but it takes too much time, effort, and energy that I don't have or don't even want to spend. If I choose to have kids, then that is mine and my husband's decision. If I don't have kids, that's our choice too. I'm going to be happy with how I live my life and not please others. Just because I don't have kids or have the option not to have any, doesn't mean something is wrong with me or I'm a bad person. It just means what every happens in my life is meant just for me. What do you think?

Sex Slaves
Last night I was watching MSNBC there were two shows of sex slaves. One was about women being shipped to America and the other was about children being turned into sex slaves. What has this world come to? These shows made me cry and I can't believe this happens right here under our noses.
The show were the women were being shipped here, the women came replying to job ads. The women were thinking they were making a better life for their families. Most of these women were single mothers and college students. One of the single mothers was given beer the moment she arrived here and she doesn't even drink. Her new job was to drink and as many drinks she drinks, men can touch any part of her body. WTF? Then the number of drinks a man buys the woman, that's as long as he has sex with her. Are they for real? Many of these women were raped and murdered for trying to get help. Some were just raped everyday as a threat and hold over their lives. OMG!
The other show with the children was just horrible. These two cousins, who were 14 and 15, were taken while they were walking to a gas station by a pimp and his two women. In less than 24 hours, these two cousins were taken across state lines so they could start their new jobs servicing truck drivers at truck stops. The cousins parents were looking for them. Once they found the house the young girls were held hostage in, the parents called the police. The thing that I didn't get was how long the police took to rescue the girls. It took 6 calls from 6 different people for the police to arrive. Two hours and a beat down later, where one father is now disabled, the police arrived.
What is wrong with people? To me, it seems as though the police aren't doing their jobs. Are we supposed to feel safe now? I don't. I see why ordinary people go and bear arms. I just wanted to inform you what was going on while you are sleeping in your nice comfy beds. Pray for these women and children. I know I will be!
