I wanted to put myself out there and be an open book somewhere that my family and friends aren't.  That is why I like this app/community.  When reading all these posts, I wonder about the person writing it.  Why am I so different? Can I learn to relate better to people who haven't walked in my shoes?  I don't know anyone else personally in my life that shares my viewpoints.  Especially the controversial ones. So here is a kind of list of what I feel sets me apart, please let me know if you can relate or if you disagree.  I can appreciate constructive criticism. I am a Veteran of OEF, and a gun owner, i have dreadlocks, I use cloth diapers, i grew up as a pastors daughter in the "ghetto"(crack, hookers, drunks, rapists), I have smoked cigarettes since i was 9, but just quit at 30 years old, I publicly breastfeed my 1 year old, I am "pro-life" because no matter how you are raised, whether your mother regrets you or not, you have a purpose on earth...I am not religious in any way, I feel like the legalization of Marijuana is an attempt by the government to control population (which i can tie into the abortion argument too), I believe in same sex marriage, I believe porn is addictive but masturbation is healthy, I feel women shouldn't be objectified but I dont think that women should be so eager to be viewed as equals with men because i enjoy being protected and revered.(also housekeeping seems to be my dream job).  I dont wear bras but i do shave...I am a vegetarian aspiring to be vegan(because i hate dairy farm "rape racks), but i cook meals for my carnivore family every night...i know it all seems to clash against each other, but I am doing my best to live peacefully and trying to understand the people I share this planet with. Thank you all for you input!
