    I got pregnant at 18 with a guy I no longer wanted to be with. I was accepted to Clark Atlanta and was excited to go. At the abortion clinic my toxic mom and sons father begged me not to do abortion and she will watch my child until I was done with college. Long story short my mom didn't help and sons father helped when he wanted to. I got a messed up tummy at 18 and didn't go to college. I became really depressed and very stressed. My son is 12 now and would do anything for him but if I could turn back I would of listened to myself and not others. Never let anyone including family talk you into things you don't want to do.

      I understand where you're coming from but this is where you are now. The good thing is that you can still go to college. I took my son to class with me. I packed his dinner and snacks. He did his homework there. He took a nap until my class was done. It was hard. I faced eviction every month. No, it was not the tradition setuo, but I have no regrets and this might have been a better deal for us.
      My son's father NEVER helped me with him. He said he would but he walked away. There are no guarantees either way. I am now working on my master's degree and my son is working and in college as well. But I understand where you're coming from. You can still choose what you want for YOUR life because he will grow up.

    Got my abortion at 22 and didn’t think twice about it because I knew I deserved more than my circumstances. The situation was shitty with a guy who was my friends with benefits for 2 years who was scared of “titles” . First thing that went through my mind was my financial standing and how I nor him would be able to support this child . Next was the uncertainty of our situation, and last was my ambition to still explore the world. I was only 5 weeks so I didn’t feel any regret because I’ve always been honest with myself . 6 months after having the abortion this guy left left with zero accountability or responsibility for bills as well so I knew I made the right decision. Now I’m 28 still with no kids and I don’t settle for the mediocre joes . I’ve traveled more and lived in different cities/states that truly have made me the person I am today . I wouldn’t trade it for anything cause now I get to choose the life I want , not accept what life hands me like most. Signed a future millionaire 😘😘😘

    I would say that most women, especially black women, are valued based on how good we are at keeping and holding down a man. I have a toxic family and I’m constantly criticized for what I do, not because it’s wrong, but because it’s not attractive. I think that people are more strict against us because we are supposed to be ready to hold down anyone at any time, so when you have higher standards, it throws off the dynamic and people will think you’re a gold digger or boujee (not that there’s anything wrong with that in the first place). I know many black women who drastically lowered their standards because they just wanted to be able to say they have a man. You can probably guess how those relationships are going now.

    No, women weren't completely honest about what we wanted, why? Judgement, shame and misogyny. When women (especially black women) tell our demands and needs we are met with hate, belittling, dehumanization and condescending behavior. The reaction to that was originally frustration. Now the reaction is divestment, because the treatment for our truth hasn't changed but that doesn't mean we cant grow from it.

For the longest, I thought because I was a mom before marriage that I wasn’t worthy of love from a man worth a damn, but I had to be real with myself. I’m a baby mama yes, but I don’t let that define me. It only defines you when you choose to stop there.

    Ladies, if you do end up getting pregnant (no matter how the situation turned out of how it happened) and decide to not go through with the pregnancy, do not let your family or friends guilt trip you cause they definitely will try to do it. They will say things such as they will help you or they will keep the baby for you (like adopt) and whatever else they can think of just so you can go through with the pregnancy...nah. I think people do that to see you struggle with the life change. Especially the friends (who also have kids or no kids) who could be secretly jealous of you and want to see your downfall.

      @bandaqueenlove9134 Před 3 lety +4

      @Lonely Pluto "Keep your legs closed" um I disagree. It's terrible to reinforce the idea that not having sex = no baby (as if you're making a direct correlation or causation between sex and babies). The intention of sex isn't to always have a baby. You should be able to engage in sex (to feel good, etc) even if the intent isn't to have a baby or reproduce. People need to realize things happen more like ANYTHING can happen. Protection can break and as sweet brought up consent can also be an issue. Yes, there are instances where people don't use protection with/without knowing the consequences, but yet again by analyzing the circumstances around them then they still can decide to not have a baby. Mistakes do happen and everyone has their own story it's important to be graceful and understanding esp when WE might need it if we were to end up in the same situation. It's not always about bashing someone because you would never do that when really you never know what you are capable of doing or getting yourself into.

I have family and friends who love me, but I still haven't experienced romantic love. Even though I've never experienced it before, I just know it's different. Being reserved and having social anxiety doesn't help either. Some days I just feel like I'm gonna die alone. I wish that more women would be honest about the struggles of being single. But then again you can be in a relationship and still feel like shit. It all comes down to whether or not you're vetting people who come into your personal space.

      Girl, I’m about to be 19 and I was obsessed with relationships from freshman year til the end of sophomore year. I started to come to grips with why I was so invested in being in a relationship(let’s just say insecurities) around junior year. I don’t know if you believe in God but I had to talk to God about how I was feeling and stop trying to do things the way I want to and do them the way he needs me to. I can honestly say as a senior now, I’m happy. And I’ve also never been in a relationship but God has made me realize not everything you want is what you need. The first step is being honest with yourself about why you want to be in a relationship so badly. If you believe in God talk to him about it, FIRST. I used to think I couldn’t live without being in a relationship but now I can see myself being single forever and being perfectly fine with that. It’s possible to be single and happy. Anything is possible 😊. Self love is key and God.

    A “Babymama” or a “Babydaddy” is a label that references how the EX partner feels about an individual that they no longer have any ties to aside from having a child in common. In other words, the title is used to reassure their new partner that they hold NO value over their ex partner, hince the phrase “That’s just my babymama/babydaddy” meaning they are nothing more than that. If you have a child with someone and that is how they view you, meaning they don’t care about your well being as the mother of their child or value you as the person who brought their child forth into the world, then that is on their spirit if they label you in such a way. As far as how YOU should refer to yourself, you should refer to yourself as a mother or a parent to children. That is a very important title to hold which puts into perspective the relationship you hold with another human being that you brought into this world.

    People including family usually want what is best for themselves and their peace or what makes them look good not you. This includes determining your career, when you should get married etc to make themselves look good in society as the mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandparents etc to you to claim how “well that raised you” or your success.
    No matter how much family loves you it’s usually conditional in some way because it’s based on their own needs so if it worries them for you to study or work in a foreign country they will convince you that it’s for your own good to be close to home for their own interests. Put yourself first to meet your needs and wants because you are on this Earth as your own soul with free will because even some family members are more like karmic family to teach us lessons about ourselves and make us love ourselves unconditionally while strangers can even be more like soul family at times.
    Also most people will tell you what is possible for them not you and your personal journey. When I said that I want to be a housewife and marry a wealthy man who will provide every single thing for me including assets in my name which was my mantra for my own interests and journey in my life, the feminist and independent type women told me that it is sad or not possible for me even with my Masters and career which I did not care much for...

    My parents sabotaged my acceptance to the university program I wanted and then pressured me to accept my second choice (their choice). I did and then fell into a depression because I was unhappy and dropped out twice. They were so pissed off.
    I eventually went to school a third time, graduated with a diploma, got a job that pays well, and now they like to take credit and brag to their friends as if they supported me all along. Paying back the debt I accrued from studying something I never wanted took years because I was working barely above minimum wage jobs and living on my own.
    Don't make decisions for yourself because of other people. I'm going back to uni now, but I'll be receiving my Bachelor's 6 years and thousands of dollars later than if I was able to go in the first place.

    Yes. This is so important. Thank you for talking about this. We’ve been socially conditioned to be in this hustler mentality as women, and although it comes with its perks, are we even really happy?

    We don't say what we actually want and follow through with it because of our own insecurities and wanting to be accepted by others. We seek approval but we are in denial of such. It takes courage to speak up and stand up for yourself. Also, its hard to accept the possible rejection.

    Y’all this video is for me!!! I literally get shamed by family and others because I don’t want to have kids out of wedlock. I refuse! I want a heathy union. Idc who says what and feels however anymore. As I got older, I realized it’s my life, no matter what anybody says, and therefore it’ll be my responsibilities. Society is toxic. We are divine beings. We know what WE want.

    This goes for lots of other things too. I used to let family tell me what I should be doing career-wise... what I should major in in college... etc... and it led to nothing but unhappiness. Just in general, no matter what it is, we should all follow our OWN paths of happiness and not let other people decide these things for us.

    Men are always shaming women especially in our community. We are told to hold a man down. The older generation believes that . . The younger genz will voice out and they say you're wrong. They try to change you to believe only what they believe. I get that a lot from older people .i get shamed too from most men. I still stand by my beliefs. At the end of the day Men will say what benefits them to stay at the top . You need to use your power to gain what you want , don't accept the bare minimum.

    Even when I'm achieving something, there's always people bringing up that I could do more or the next best thing. I had to learn that even people who mean well can't see your vision because they're not meant to, your vision is for YOU!
    When people try to tell you what you should be doing, don't be disheartened or offended, just say "thanks for the info, I want to focus on this but I'll keep that in mind" or "yes that's definitely an option" or "I'm not in that place yet but you've given me something to think about." Acknowledge whatever pieces you want and throw out the rest without feeling the need to explain/defend yourself. Saves you a lot of arguments and also means you can be open to receiving advice and different viewpoints while staying faithful to your original values. Sometimes people are just overzealous trying to protect you from their own fears/mistakes. Obviously this only applies to people you love and respect, and even those closest to you can be on a need-to-know basis lol
