"just when you think you're in control,
just when you think you've got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,
here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again."

here it goes, ok go

okay, let's talk about sex. *sigh* as my friend nina will tell you, it's one of my favorite topics of discussion. . . .

i don't know what's worse - being unmarried and trying not to have sex or being married and trying not to have sex. you know what i mean? when you're unmarried, you try so hard to keep as much as you can for the night of the wedding. and it's tough. i don't mean fasting on ash wednesday tough, because at least you know that you can catch up on all of your eating the next day. no, it's far more difficult than that. and if you're married and trying to abstain, it's gotta be tough too.

but is it more difficult when you're married? because if you've already been exposed to it, is it more difficult to abstain from it?

from where i'm at right now, i think it's harder to be unmarried and abstain. for a normal married couple, they only have to abstain for a few days at a time. but for those of us who aren't married, it's this struggle that seems to have no end in sight.

the good news is that your ability to abstain is a true testament to your ability to love someone, regardless of whether or not you are married. true love is true self-sacrifice. and true self-sacrifice is rooted in appreciation of the value of that person, and gratitude upon that recognition.

*shrugs* okay, back to homework.
