Retrospective For Life

This is a powerful song. One of my favorites actually. Abortion is a very controversial topic. Is it right or wrong? This song just starts off with an extremely deep question…”Knowing you’re the best part of life, do I have the right to take yours?” Is this a mistake that you should have to live up to?

Common said it best…”Sorry for taking your first breath, first step, and first cry, but I wasn’t prepared mentally nor financially. Having a child shouldn’t have to bring out the man in me. Plus I wanted you to be raised within a family.”

Having a child is a huge step in a relationship (if the even is one). Some people think that it’ll bring them closer, when really, it could just end up tearing them apart. Or keeping them together only because of the child. Now there’s nothing wrong with deciding to keep the baby and be a single mother/ father, but me personally, I want to have a family. I want a child to be brought into the world as an asset, not a liability. I want my wife and I to look at this person we created and fall in love all over again.

“From now on, I’m gonna use self control instead of birth control”. This is a bit easier said than done. Our whole society is built around sex. Movies, music, print, etc…this generation is growing up in much more perverted surroundings. Have you noticed that the cartoon characters are much more muscular? The breasts are drawn way bigger? I grew up with bugs bunny and the rest of the looney toons. The only female we had was Betty Bop, I think.

How abut these lines? “Thinking we are in love because we can spend the day together” or “There’s so much in my life that’s undone. We gotta see eye to eye, about family, before we can become one.”

There’s so much divorce now. People fall out of “love” just as quick as they fall in. Sometimes it’s just better to step back from a situation and assess what’s going on in the relationship. If you see something wrong with the person you’re with, confront it and see if it can be fixed. Don’t over look it and just think, “nobody’s perfect”. That’s true, but most of the time, there’s things that your partner should work on in order to make you happy. If they brush it off and don’t attempt to compromise the change, maybe that person isn’t for you. Getting married or having a child doesn’t make people grow up nor does it make you compatible.

My two cents. So Really!
