Ok, I don't know what brought this on, but I feel like it's necessary for me to get this out "on paper" for whatever it's worth. I look around at other people's sites, and I see a lot of "little kids", 12-15 year olds, talking about boyfriends, girlfriends and sex. Now, mabye it's because I was homeschooled since second grade and have gone to church for as long as I can remember, but that makes me very sad. I'm only 3 months away from being 18, and I have never been kissed, much less anything else. I've only had one guy ask me out. And I'm perfectly fine with that fact.

I have fairly old fashioned veiws on the topic of sex. I believe it should wait until you are married. I mean, when you think about it, it just makes sense. Are you going to trust someone who could just walk out on you at any time that much with your body? I know marrige seems to mean very little nowadays, but I'd trust someone a lot more if they actually took the time to marry me before I got in bed with them.

Part of this is because my parents love each other so much, and have been such good examples, but part of this is because
I'm in love. No, not with a guy...there is no guy right now, and I'm not sure I'm even ready for a guy. No, I'm in love with...love. Yep. Corny as it sounds, I am in love with the concept of romance. And not just the traditional parts of romance...y'know, not just the parts like the flowers, chocolates, first dates, weddings, even sex...but with the other parts of romance. The thought of waking up and having someone sleeping next to you. The thought of having kids and raising them with the same father...the thought of growing old with always the same person...the type of person who stay with you from your wedding day when you look pretty to when you wake up sick, barfy, cranky and not very pretty at all...that just appeals to me. And I apologize for the random, actually serious post. I don't think it'll become a habit. Later!
