Think different.

Or just when you want a good laugh.

So, one week of Lent has gone by. I gave up unhealthy food aka all the junk foods, fast food (well I don't really eat fast food so pretty much In-N-Out), chocolate!!! cookies, cakes, ice cream...I know I'm such a fatty to think this is the hardest thing to sacrifice hahah. But it's also to get me back into good shape & healthy habits. & I've been smoke free for a while!

I'm confused on my feelings towards abortion. I think one should assume the responsibility. But that means different to everyone. I don't believe in young girls trying to do self abortions because they're too scared for their parents to find out. I don't believe in publicly condemning those that choose it. I do believe doctors & nurses should have the choice of participating in an abortion and should have the option "out" if they feel this violates their beliefs. If I'm a nurse in the future I don't think I'd want to assist in an abortion but then again I really don't know how I feel on this topic. What if I got pregnant. Part of me would want to have the baby out of obligation & because I don't know how I'd live having commited abortion. Then again I don't know how I could live with the shame my family will definitely feel towards me.

My aunt brought this topic up to my attention. It was discussed in church. Essentially I felt she was trying to sway me towards a political party. Theirs. My family here are all die hard Republicans. I honestly don't feel comfortable talking about my personal beliefs knowing they judge. I know they think they're serving a family duty to make sure the values & morals are well established and that I carry it in my life but I just think different. My family needs to understand that I'm not perfectly imperfect or a girl lost without values. I wish they could accept me for everything I am.

I don't think I even want to belong to a party. I can't wait to get out of here because I'm tired of them imposing their beliefs disrespecting that I have my own. I honestly don't understand. I give them all so much respect.
There are some old school ways I thoroughly disagree with.
Why is it that I can't be given the same respect that I give.
