some thoughts

I didn't come here to write with a purpose, but just because I feel so passionately about something, yet no catalyst.

Abortion makes me angry. It makes me passionate. We live in a times right now where we should be open to letting everyone make all the damned decisions they want- and we should step back and let them. Why? WHY? It makes me so angry. It makes me angry b/c it's ingrained in us from an early age. It makes me angry because it's hard to push away the thoughts that it would make us a terrible person if we fight for what we KNOW is right.

I have a made a new friend. He is... very different than I. We banter on about things, and he is pretty much my polar opposite on most topics. He says that many things I consider "right" or "Wrong" are not as such- they are, in fact "opinion" and thus cannot be pushed onto others. "Sleeping around is wrong"- that's an opinion, and unfair to use the word "Wrong" on because that implies moral absolutes. Or something. But, in the end, I still feel I am right about things.

I want to be strong, a Catholic, woman of God. Instead, I feel like a feeble mouse, trying to play a game of balance, or trying to not look like a bad person by disagreeing with the social majorities. I have no strength. I need to learn how to ask God for it.
