the women in my family are stupid... [thinking]
...and i vow not to be one of the stupid ones. i learned something today that was a bit jarring. i'm not going into any detail as it's a highly personal matter. but i'm just looking at the surface and am afraid of possible patterns that may be in the genes. i will not succumb to hereditary issues. i am going to be strong, live by my ideals, and not compromise them to the point of losing myself. no way. not that anyone has lost themselves but once you start making compromises, it's a slippery slope.
