As I go through life I learn about what it means to be a woman. My opinion is that most societies have a warped view of this in general. The most basic necessity of a woman is Respect. Honestly, respect is a difficult concept to comprehend. Liberals have twisted the meaning of respecting woman into something despicable. They spout out things like woman should be able to do whatever they want with their bodies. They sexualize us into these airbrushed images and we are ordered to torture ourselves to fit that description. Why do we do it? My only hypothesis is to be loved by the men of society. But what is this love? The marital love that the Bible talks about? Or is this love the sexual, desire-filled love? I don't understand how Angelina Jolie and Olivia Wilde trump the Proverbs 31 woman. Pure insanity. And what happens when a girl falls into society's trap and has sex? Are her insecurities washed away? No, quite the opposite. She finds more reasons to despise who she is. Does she get to feel loved? Often not. The man uses her and disrespects her in every regard of the word. What happens if she gets pregnant? "What about my future? I can't be a single mother. I don't want to throw everything away. This baby will only remind me of that loser that hooked up with me." That's the argument I've heard society whisper into the ears of every girl out there. It's heart breaking. Somehow society has convinced intelligent yet naive women that killing her child is acceptable because it is more convenient for her in the long run. I'd say many in society even encourage women to think this way more often than not. So the woman is left emotionally damaged and alone. And the cycle repeats. I see it everyday. I'm tempted to conform every single day. But honestly, I'd rather wait for respect. Now waiting is by no means easy. The tears will come in droves, insecurities will pile up on your shoulders, and temporary satisfaction will seem so very tempting. But know this: waiting means gaining even more worth as a woman. A real man of God will fall head over heels in love with you and will respect every part of you. Stay Strong Girl!
The following videos allowed me to reflect on what it means to be a woman in society today. Warning: not suitable for girls younger than 18 due to content and language watch with discernment.
I'll be the first person to tell you I don't always have the best judgement. I've made mistakes. Big ones. Tiny ones. Mistakes all the same. The most important lesson to learn, and I should note that I'm still learning is that it's okay to forgive yourself for your past. You're going to be messy, that's just a fact of life. But once you've learned your lesson, what's the point in carrying all of that weight of regrets on your shoulders? I am no psychologist but from personal experience I'd advise you to start letting go. It's okay, you're allowed to let go. It won't be easy, and it helps when people are there to hold you accountable and call you out when you start turning back to your old habits. You might not listen to them at first, and think they have no business telling you what to do. But the people that tell you the brutal truth, are the people that care the most about your well-being.
[I ask for you to keep me in your prayers and pray for my life and that I will stay strong and not turn back. Thank you!]
