Enjoy What You Have

At night I feel like I could write a book if I wanted. My mind just begins coming up with creative ideas and things I want to express. So let me start first by expressing my thoughts. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of girls announcing their pregnancies on Facebook. I, for one don't care because I feel as though it's such a common thing now. I started thinking about how many girls I knew who were pregnant and realized that half of the girls I graduated with have a kid or kids. Then I realized that most of them are no longer with their baby daddys. I began to see a pattern with most of the girls. They no longer posted pictures with or of their "bae" but they did post more pictures of their child. (Which makes sense. I mean, who wouldn't?) It brought me to my final thought which was, I don't want to end up like that. I don't want to be a part of the "trend" of getting pregnant & having to take care of another human being right now. Why, you ask?  Because I want to graduate from college so I can work at a job that makes me happy. So that when I find the right man,  we can explore different places we've always wanted to go. So that when were ready to settle down & have a family,  we will be financially ready to have a child or children. I don't know but in my mind, it sounds like the right thing to do. So why don't other people do it?  If you haven't noticed we as humans are eager creatures whether we know that or not. For example: If the iPhone 7 comes out, everyone wants it. No one really cares what about the specific new features on it. They just see that it's bigger & prettier and so they want it. They can't wait for it to be available. Now lets fast forward months after its been available to the public. You bought the iPhone 7 but you're used to it now and you don't have that exciting feeling you did when it first came out. That, my friend is a love for having possessions & materialistic things. Now, were all guilty of it. I think just like were eager for the new iPhone 7, we are eager for other things like having a child or getting into relationships. It's all the same thing. When you have a child you start thinking about dressing them with cute clothes, feeding them and watching them grow. But we realize after a while that it's a lot of work & it's not what it seems. Which is why we should take our time and not rush into things. Enjoy what you have instead of desiring what you don't have. I'm sorry if this offends anyone. It's times like this where I feel as though I have to speak my mind (which I rarely do) but if you are offended, don't take it to heart. Just stating my opinions and observations.
