Rants of a Shawtie

Let's be Real: Honesty

You know what I would've wanted as middle schooler? 

A face full of the big bad world. 

I wish my parents told me that one day, when I'm 10 or older, I'd be bleeding out of my vagina. Everyone in middle school was getting theirs and I was wishing and praying for mine cause I wanted to exchange pads and tampons with the girls in the bathrooms. I used to think it was "cool". Didn't realize it was a curse until I got it. But tbh that back workout with the cramps gave me more exercise than I would've done in a month. 

I wish that my parents talked to me about sex, and that it would hurt for the first time and that I should save it for someone I really love. But I figured that out and will continue to save my "precious gift" for that special someone. 

I wish they told me that it's not a peaceful world out there, that there are rapists, murderers, criminals out there that can hurt me. 

I wish they told me not to rush into love and say "I love you" when you really mean it, and not just say it to make your boyfriend happy. 

But you can't have everything you want, I learned that.
