Take care of what God already gave you. The home, the car, your body, your peace, the little things. Because if you can’t appreciate what you have now, how can God trust you with more?
Unfortunately, I do want a provider. I do want a protector. I do want a leader. I do want a dominant man. I do want emotional maturity and effective communication. I do want mental stability. I do want to be spoiled. I do want self awareness. I do want clingy, obsessed and safe. I do want someone who chooses me every time. And nobody is going to make me feel bad for wanting those things in a partner.
Having kids is a serious responsibility. I don’t think people fully understand that, judging by how casually some approach pregnancy, especially at a young age. Children are not accessories. Being a parent is real life work. It requires sacrifice, selflessness, emotional maturity, financial stability, patience, and a willingness to put someone else’s needs before your own. Raising a child is one of the biggest responsibilities a person can take on.
