Not that this is anything terribly new but recently I've become aware of friends and friends' girlfriends having babies. And I haven't been finding out until like their eighth month of pregnancy. Now all of a sudden, I am overwhelmed by the thought of these teens, these kids (who aren't even close to being mature) procreating and starting another generation. I see their facebook pages, their drama, their hell-on-earth-life and I shudder to think that this person is going to be raising a child. It boggles my mind, and not in a good way.
I'm not a hater. Trust me. I'm just worried for these people who haven't even finished growing but suddenly have the responsibility of training and teaching the next generation. We all make our choices and our mistakes; you can try to prevent those mistakes, but after those decisions have been made all you can do is love that person. I have never nor will I EVER advocate the evil of abortion, but there is such thing as abstinence. I won't even say "prevention" because that just makes people think "I can do it as often as I want with whomever I want, because we're safe". There is no real safety except not having sex before marriage at all.
Let me get off my soapbox for a moment. I'm not going to go terribly deep into my personal life because it's my business. But I'm not going to let you think for a moment, dear reader, that I'm some perfect, judgmental, Christian who hates on everyone who's messed up. Because I've messed up, just like you. I'm no angel and I never claimed to be. I've seen the consequences of my actions and the aforementioned new parents are and will continue to see theirs.
I just wonder what kind of a world we'll be looking at in twenty years. It's enough of a mess now, but with middleschoolers bringing up the next generation...just imagine how it will be. My heart breaks for these kids who may never know real love, because they were birthed by a mother looking for love in the wrong place. It's a fatherless generation giving birth to orphans, because everyone's looking for love. This generation hasn't learned from the ones before, who also searched for that love in every place but the one they'd find it. It's an insane world, because we're doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. God help us.

What you see is what you get. These are my ponderings on my life and any random thing I currently feel inspired to write on. I'm not looking for your approval or applause. Everything is in this little universe of mine because I decided it should be; I'm not saying it's all truth because most of it is just my perspective. Take it or leave it--it's no skin off my nose.
