I Am Going to Be a Writer!

Yup, you heard me. I am going to be a writer. I have decided that. Also, I am going to publish my work and become a published writer. I know I can write, I do it all the time. Hell, I am writing, so to speak, right now. I like to write, I enjoy it. Also, I like to read, so after wards, I can read what I write. AND, I am a multi talented writer. I can write poetry, articles, essays, short stories, and I am trying to grow into longer facets of writing too. I need a bit of work keeping up my motivation and inspiration, and I also need to learn more about plot and character development. But I have the basic needs and skills of a good write, at least I think so. You need passion for it, a good mind, a creative and innovative eye, and be able to think about things in a new way. I am pretty sure I have all that, plus I also have my own unique look on life and my own special way of thinking about things. 

I have quite a collection of poems that I feel are decent enough to be a part of a literary magazine or journal and I am mature enough now to share them and not feel any shame that maybe I am being a stupid little bint, wasting others and my own time trying to become something so, what other people would call, un-needed.

Writers are needed. They allow people to read and explore worlds never thought of before. Writers create some of the cheapest and best getaways imaginable and some of my fondest memories come from either writing or reading. Reading has always been a way for me to escape the day. It is like most girls day at the spa and most guys time with his pals or sports or something. So what more could I want then to present some one else who has the need to read a lovely book to help them leave reality for a bit. 

So it is decided, I will send in some of my poetry to a publisher and see what they say, then improve or succeed from there!

Abortion: An Interesting Proposal

I have always been pro-life, with limitations. I believe that if you had access to the proper forms of birth control and did not use them then you should pay the consequences for having unprotected sex. I also believe that woman involved in a pregnancy by rape situation should be able to have the chance to get an abortion if they so choose. Or if a woman was mentally insane and her husband, guardian, whatever thought it best to abort that it should be okay. Because I know every life has its exceptions.

The other day though, I was talking with a young man I hung out with and we were discussing the opportunity to have sex. Sex in itself is no big deal if you have birth control and are both properly tested. However, he brought up the fact that if we were in the heat of the moment and neither of us had any form of birthcontrol to use/in use, if I would still have sex with him. I said that I would. Then he asks, "What if you got pregnant?". I was gonna reply "I would get an abortion" when I realized...I would be what I preach against. Them damn horny girls who cant take a few minutes out of their day to stick a condom in her purse or take a little pill. And I thought to myself, "wow, no one has ever made me think, what if it was me?"

And now that I think about I still stand by what I have said. I would not get an abortion, I would bring that baby into this world and give it the best life I could possibly give. I would explore every option, be it raising it myself, or giving it up for adoption, or giving legal guardianship to my wonderful, childless aunt. It also made me go to the store and buy condoms and also research prices on the plan B emergency contraceptive. I will be prepared when I have sex, and after sex I will be prepared for the worst, but positive of the best. Because I am not going to have an abortion, I am not going to have a life inside me turned into just another, depressing statistic.

Sometime in the Near Future

I hope to have a boyfriend, or boytoy, whichever. I just wanna have fun with a personfo the opposite sex really. I also hope to be in college and have a job that supports my needs. I wanna become better at HTML and that sort of thing. I wanna get my library card and actually read a book that I pick out. I wanna visit planned parenthood and get condoms, mostly for the fact of having the, secondly for the use. I hope to have a cell phone with texting. I hope to still be co-owner of a most wonderful forum. I hope to have finally made friends up here to where I can go to their house and spend the night and know its gonna be fun, my idea of fun.
I wanna go fishing on lake michigan.

I wanna kiss a guy. 

I wanna lay in the grass in the sun and get the most perfect tan I have ever got. I wanna look at the world and only see happiness, peace and a clean gulf. I wanna look at a person and tell them "hi" and have the greatest conversation int he world and never see that person again. I want to have more knowledge than I do now.

I wanna live.
