Mind Dribble II

Lately, I’ve had the chance to think a lot, especially with me always catching the wrong bus going in the opposite direction and the long journey backwards again. I’m not the best person with relationships, well I haven’t exactly been the best over the last couple years but what I do know is when I finally feel comfortable in my relationship, there is no one that has the power to make me break the trust that I share with this person. I mean, no one. Which leads me right to where I’m going, persistence. The persistent individual in your life that just won’t give up. Sometimes, persistence is great. Persistence gets you places, allows you to reach goals you ordinarily won’t if you just let it go after the first try. However, if I decide to tell you to back off because I believe you may be a threat to my relationship then I expect you do so, not say something like, “don’t worry it won’t ever get out” or “I’m careful, our secret is safe with me”, or even “it’s not really considered cheating though.”  That’s the shit I hate. Firstly, “our secret” will get out, nothing is hidden under the sun. Secondly, I know you will tell someone, be it your best friend or some guy/girl you’re trying to show off to, you will tell, that is the honest truth, do not let anyone deceive you. Keep your guard up; don’t let anyone take that sort of power over you.

Which brings me to my next thought bubble.

I’m different. To you I may be weird, odd, common, normal, bad, good, whatever I am, I am different to different people, and so are you. Growing up in a Christian home, with a Christian family, in a country that is in the middle of a religious war, but becoming my own woman has been difficult. Coming from a country that passed a law to imprison people are seen to be gay for 14 years, and being a woman that doesn’t accept this law is a struggle, as my beliefs differ from that of those that brought me up. I d not believe it is right to lock someone up for 14 years because they happen to love someone of the same sex. Yes, according to the bible I read it is wrong but to me, love is simple. You fall in love with someone that happens to be the same sex, it’s your love, and it’s also your life. I do not support gay marriage in the church because that’s a step too far but I do believe in love, and I believe love can be shared between any two people. You’d hear them say “I’d never smoke, I’d never drink, I’m too young, I’m just 17, I will never have sex before marriage…” Don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t have sex before marriage, but just don’t enforce your opinions on me. If I want to do any of these things I will do it with a clear conscience, it would be my decision regardless of what you think is good for me. I know exactly what the bible says about all of these, I know the way in which I have been brought up leads me to follow the rules of the bible. However, it’s my decision to follow it or not, my choice. I am a Christian. I agree with most of the bible but some I don’t exactly follow, does that make me a bad Christian? Or not even a Christian at all? I don’t have the answers. I’m just trying to live my life happy, with people I love surrounding me, enjoying my youth, trying new things, experimenting and making other people happy because that’s my decision, and I’m sure as hell sticking to it.
