People judge me when they find out how many sexual partners I've had. Especially when they know most of them were hook-ups or "friends with benefits" relationships (and it also probably has something to do with the fact that I am female and not a male). To all of you who "slut-shame", yes, I know what I did wasn't really the greatest. What you don't know is during that time of my life I had just escaped from a terribly violent and abusive relationship that included a lot of horrific physical and sexual abuse. The sexual violence was what seemed to be the hardest to push back from my dreams at night and my thoughts. I did what I did because I felt like my body had already been ruined anyway. I did what I did because I was so damn depressed. I did what I did because I wanted something to push away those awful memories and events. I was so broken.
So here's a message to everyone who without shame judges others: You don't know their story, nor their past. You don't know what battles they have within. I'm not making excuses for myself. I know what I did wasn't the right way to try and fix myself (heck, I even knew at the time it wasn't super smart), but I was so broken and I can't exactly go back in time and change what I have done. What I can do is move forward. I'm on a road of healing now but it wasn't through judgement, it was through love. When I finally opened up to a close friend about what I been dealing with, she didn't condemn me. She loved me and comforted me. She encouraged me to seek help. There's no way I can ever thank her enough for all she did for me during such a hard and dark times and even to this day and I continue to walk the long road towards healing.
And lastly, for all you who have battled something similar, male or female, you are not alone.

I don't think anyone - and I really mean it - anyone in the *world* ever feels as stupid as I do as often as I do. I can always depend on myself to sabotage my job, my friendships, my reputation (as if I had any), and my day-to-day schedule. Whereas the world fights external opposition, I am fighting my own stupidity. I'm tripping over my own feet. I blind myself with my own flashlight. Whatever you do in life: Don't be stupid, don't be ignorant of your basic responsibilities, and don't listen to my foolish advice!

I was in the bank with my sister and heard a customer say this to a teller...
"Who are you gonna call?"
So I naturally commented just loud enough for my sister to hear...
"Ghostbusters!"

Yeah, I drink alcohol, smoke weed and sometimes do hallucinogens and have had premarital sex but I still have faith. Just because I have a good time and have sex with my girlfriend doesn't mean I'm a bad person or Christian. I believe that god would want us to have a good time and enjoy our lives.

Sometime when I'm driving and I see items in the side of the road I make up stories about them...a pair of children's shoes...a bear...a bed, well that's easy--they just couldn't wait a few more miles.

Putting on underwear seductively and ending up putting it on backwards is one of the most embarrassing things ever.
