I refuse to base my opinions on what Oprah said, or what I saw on the
cover of Cosmo. I believe that the mindless sheep that form half-hearted
opinions based on MTV News, and what their favorite celebrities have to say are
shameful wastes of IQ.
I research both sides of issues and come to my own conclusion- which I am
prepared to defend. I respect the choice of others to decide their own
religions, sexuality, and viewpoints on other issues. I will not, however, allow
them to force those viewpoints on me, or belittle me for my own beliefs.
I am unwilling to consider myself weak because I have Lupus, am diminutive
in size, or have a uterus. I am well aware of my strengths and weaknesses, and I
know everyone else has theirs. I choose not to attack others for those flaws,
and I expect them not to attack me for mine. Should they choose to do so, I am
prepared to stand up for myself.
I am in charge of my own body. I will decide who will touch me, and when it
is appropriate. I do not care if someone is 'touchy-feely' I am not, and they
will NOT touch me. I have a right to defend myself with force if I feel
threatened in anyway, and I will do so.
I am aware that love is a choice, as is being single. I know that all
people, male or female, have a value in and of themselves. No person should
place his or her own value on that of being part of a couple. Being 'in love' is
not an excuse to be abused, nor is the opinion that the abuser is your 'soul
mate'. I had enough respect for myself when single to say no to the men I knew
were not worth my time. And I have enough respect for myself now to be with a
man who is my partner. He is my equal, and I am his. Neither of us is worth
more, regardless of monetary contributions. It is our choice and our business,
when and if we decide to marry, have children, have a joint bank account, and
more. I will not be swayed by the opinions or comments of others to change what
I want and know is right for me.
