Day #50

Before you ever consider having a child, now or in the future, you must consider the repercussions (as horrid and conceited as that sounds). You won't be able to go back to late nights out with your friends for a while, you will be attending to the baby. Your career may suffer, and money will become a main expense. This new life would be the supreme priority, second to none. You would have to practically breathe, think, and do things for your child, imparting good morals and common sense onto your flesh and blood. This would be your responsibility for what'd feel like an eternity, but it's worth it if you have the time to invest and skills to apply. But when it is the right time, you will need to ponder. Such a lasting choice will need to be devoted to with all the heart and mind you can offer. That is why I have never been fond of teenage marriages... I look at them as foolish, when no one can be fully prepared for a baby when they were one less than two decades ago themselves. Think before you act, people. Have some thoughtfulness and proceed with caution. You wouldn't just ruin your life, but most likely the baby's.

P.S. I loathe abortion even more than I do teenage ignorance, so though it isn't a safe or wise idea to have your babies when you're still learning to fend for yourself, it is a gruesome mortal sin to take the life of your own child that can't even defend itself. It is a cowardly and evil act, I must say, you don't get pregnant when you don't intend to and aren't ready in the first place. Someone once stressed, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." A guilty conscience that will follow you eternally is ultimately way better than a blunder who will very soon turn into a beautiful blessing that God purposefully placed on Earth, meant to be here 100%. Period.
