Abort the mission

I know that abortion is a touchy subject for many people, men and women, but here is what I think. 

I am pro choice, this doesn't mean I am pro abortion, it means I would like to think that people can make their own decisions about their life and what they think would be best for them. Every woman or person who person with female genitalia or person who identify as female have the right to their own bodies and shouldn't have to be victimised or shunned because they have been told that they have to carry something that wasn't planned in their body for nine months then go through excruciating pain to get it out. It isn't right. It isn't killing another humans life, it is preventing a two or more people's life's from hardship and potential pain emotionally and physically. 

Now, all feminists will say that it is the mother's body so therefore it is her choice but it takes two to tango and the father, in my opinion, should be consulted. If he isn't willing to raise the child or be envolved then his own opinion doesn't matter as if he doesn't want anything to go with it then you shouldn't be made to keep it to conform with his beliefs. 

Raising a child is a mission and it may have ups and downs. It is always a matter of personal opinion and beliefs that should be taken into account but I think that the option should be available to all women without them feeling like they are murdering as many people say it is. 

I know if I was ever in the position of choosing to abort a child I would have the ability to do it without guilt as I know it would be because I didn't feel like I could support a child and that would be better for both of us but I know that some people may not have that kind of sturdy emotional wall. 

I wanted to write this as I saw a picture on social media earlier this afternoon of a foetus at twelve weeks old outside of the womb and it called abortion wrong and against God's divine laws and I don't think that teenagers should be subjected to this kind of negativity when they may be going through a difficult time.

Recluse

Let's go on a adventure 
We have the world to see
It's sunny outside
You don't need to hide
Just come on a adventure with me

The play park used to be a castle 
The gardens, a realm of its own 
The woodlands a place for spy work 
Now all we do is sit at home

At least it's not raining 
But you always find a excuse 
To sit indoors, with friends round, 
On your own, recluse.

Army camo eye shadow

I can't wait for men to start wearing make up again. I can't wait for the man coloured shades and the mud extreme lipgloss that will arise from the depths of maybeline and No.7 and I definitely can't wait for the prices to be so low on men's so I don't have to spend twenty quid on one pot of foundation. 

Men's products cost a lot less than women's. If you go into a shop into the women's section a can of deodorant will cost around £1.50-£2 for a decent size can but venture into te men's, like I so often do, then you can buy a large can for £1 and they smell so much better too.  Same sort of idea for shower gels and razors. 

I go to poundland for my make up. It is cheap and lasts quite a long time. It also has the pale shades I need as I can be very pale on some days. I get hair brushes from primark and hair dye from savers and I am not particularly bothered about whether it is too chav for me to get it from there. As a teenager on a low budget I am totally allowed to shop in the saver stores and they have some really good deals and finds in there.

Make over

My friend Callum is currently sat in front of me having his make up done and the first thing he said is "Ouch this hurts!" And us girls replied "This is what we do everyday." 
"Why?" 
"Because men expect us to look pretty for them and this is how we achieve it." 

We are called out for being fake for wearing make up but are told to look pretty if we don't. When my brave male friends get their make up done or they go outside wearing dresses like they did on New Years then they really appreciate how hard it is for us.

Copy and compute

I came back from my friends house tonight not feeling right. I was upset and a bit miffed because I had realised I couldn't be what people wanted. I know I have always tried to be myself and tell people if I am uncomfortable or don't like what's going on and the ones who matter know when to stop with me but some don't. 

I can't be a carbon copy of what you want, I am different and I don't do things the same way as them but I deserve a look in occasionally. 

Human cloning is illegal so don't expect me to be them.

I told you so!

To my friends I am the agony aunt, the doctor, the walking dictionary, and the one who knows all. And yes, I am. And in this era of being the one that people go to whether I want them to or not I have developed a catch phrase. I told you so. 

You see, my friends will come to me for advice on their problems or to know if they need to see a doctor, in most cases they do, but they don't actually listen to my advice and then they get upset when they do the stupid thing and it turns out wrong. 

I give advice when they don't ask for it as well because otherwise they would do the stupid thing and not think of their actions during it. This is where I get shouted at or argued with because they want to do it their way and  wrong. They know it is only advice and they can do what they want but when it is all over they come to me to be comforted. 

I wouldnt ever turn away one of my mates if they were upset or annoyed but the cycle get really repetitive with some. 

There is one person in particular who has been on the receiving end of the phrase more than anyone else but I'm still here trying to help them even when it seems like they have things covered. I have total faith that they will get somewhere but they just need a push in the right direction.
