Growing Up

Growing up has been a scary thing I've suddenly been pushed into.. from a mother that didn't want me any longer casting me away like I'm nothing to her... and desperately trying to find some sort of job that would allow me to survive and pay rent and necessities like food, electricity and water. She almost allowed me to become homeless.. but I strived to do something for myself despite having no help from friends. What friends, anyway? People consider themselves a friend to you if you share common interests and/or can go out now and then and be sociable. But no one really gives a shit if you're in dire need of a roof over your head and struggling to have money for food . So I found a job that will allow me to obtain a qualification in paper after 12 months.. and I must keep it. I tell myself everyday to work so hard and keep going on because I want my future to be bright. I want to one day grow older and get married to a good man, to have children that I can raise better than I was raised and be the mother that I never had. I want to make people happy and I want to contribute something in this world. That will give me the accomplishment I yearn for in this life.. I want to be the one that people can look at and say I'm a caring, loving and good person. I want to be everything my mother isn't.

Rihanna

WHAT THE HELL IS WITH RIHANNA? SHE WANTED A RUDE BOY AND NOW "I LIKE THE WAY IT HURTS... THAT'S ALRIGHT BECAUSE I LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE" LOLOLOL WTH?!?! CLEARLY GETTING HER HEAD SMACKED AROUND TAUGHT HER NOTHING ABOUT TRYING TO FIND A GOOD MAN.I've seen her interview on 20/20 before about how she's so hurt by what happened and realising that she's such a strong role model for young girls. She goes on to admit that the reason why she didn't want to be with Chris Brown anymore was because she didn't want to be held responsible for the death of young girls by their partners. So then, why would little miss Rihanna post songs like Rude Boy; "Come here, rude boy, boy; can you get it up? Come here rude boy, boy; is you big enough?... I like the way you pull my hair" or her song Love the way you lie ft. Eminem; "Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts, Just gonna stand there and hear my cry, Well that's alright because I love the way you lie".

...

Need I say more?
How can any of us, especially women, take her seriously after such a horrible thing happened to her and now she's coming out with songs that are despicable?

Mammograms

Because of my breast pain lately, it got me wondering what people with similar problems have done about it; mammograms. What is a mammogram? How do they scan your breast? And I think this image turned me off mammograms for life.
