"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together" - Marilyn Monroe

Lets talk about the C word!

 So I’ve decided to blog about this topic. Not too many people talk about this issue, but it’s important to me. So I’ve been celibate for about 8 months. Im not afraid to say that I have been because this was important life choice that I made for myself. I think now a days everything seems to be about sex. I thought it would be hard, but it’s actually much easier than I thought it would be. Of course I don’t want to be celibate forever, but just until after marriage. I was in a relationship for 3 years and he ended up breaking up with me. I had in my mind for so long he was the last person I would be with intimately. I was sure we were gonna get married. But it didn’t turn out the way. When we broke up I just felt like he took so much away from me. I think women need to realize that when you have sex with a person, you are giving them a part of you, a special part. And when I found out he had given himself to someone it hurt. I just believe if you wait, then if the relationship doesn’t work out right you won’t feel like they took something from you. It will cause you less pain. I believe a man will respect you more. I think you’ll get more of the relationship. At the end of the day sex should not be an important factor in a relationship. Eventually once you marry then it will, but until then you should definitely wait. I wish I had waited. I definitely didn’t think I would end up having this regret, but after how badly my last relationship ended, I realized it was something I had to do for myself.  I think now I have a better feeling of self-worth and empowerment. This is only my personal opinion and based completely on my experience. And I would love to hear other peoples opinion on the topic.
