When I was 15 I decided to live "straight edge", coincidentally that occured during my 'scene' phase. yeah...pretty brutal.
When I was 17 I decided that I was against marriage and that I never wanted kids.
Today I've decided to just live life and see how it goes. I've obviously gone against the majority of my past life decisions...and looking back on them now they seem alittle ridiculous...at this point in my life I still don't see myself having kids, but I'm not as against marriage as I was a couple of years ago.
Trust me, it wasn't a guy that changed my mind about marriage it was mostly the thought of a specific one...one I possibly haven't met, or maybe already have. If I were to ever find that one godly person that I not only tolerated, but actually loved then I'm sure I would be open to futures possibilities. I should also mention that I'm not actively looking for anyone. I'm just living day by day, working towards schooling, my career, and making memories with people close to me. I'm dating again, and I'm being pretty critical and cautious, and my standards have been raised pretty high.
I'm starting to reevaluate the guys I've dated in the past and I've realized that it's never okay to let someone take you for granted, the minute someone does take you for granted they are showing you that they don't have respect for you, at that point you should have some respect for yourself and cut them out of your life.
When I was 12 I told my doctor that I was going to "wait until marriage", not to sound unclassy but I think it's safe to say that idea got thrown out the window.
