She was a bold and brilliant college student at the time and she battled those feelings of proving her mother wrong that she was more than what was between her legs and that sexing a man good can bring you love and happiness. Anyways I read her two years of blogging in two days. I tell you her real and raw to the core blogs won’t leave my mind. Her attitude in the beginning was just like mine and some of ours that oh, Ill just take a pill for that, he don’t look dirty or I’ll just ALWAYS use a condom. Anyhow she still was infected with the virus along with other STD’s, some that a pill can’t take care of. What does this have to do with me!
