Thanksgiving

It's that time of the year again, Thanksgiving.

Those who know me or have read my last post know I'm not very fond of this day. This year wasn't that bad. I still chose to skip dinner, because it would bring back memories that are very unwanted. But Thanksgiving is not about the big old family dinner, Thanksgiving is about being thankful for all the blessings we have and celebrating it with the people we love.

I'm thankful for

Every new breath of life I take every second as the clock ticks and my close friends. These past few months I've met some incredible people, I feel so lucky to have you guys in my life and call you my friends. You are all so unique and wonderful, I hope to God that we never stop being friends. I want to see our kids playing together one day, while we look at them and smile remembering the adventures we once shared. You guys know who you are ;)

My boyfriend. I'm so thankful to have you in my life, you are always there for me and I enjoy every minute of your company. We may fight a lot, but you know I'm crazy about you. Thank you for being in my life, and remember no matter what I'll always be there for you.

My dear family. I know we have been through a lot but don't ever forget that I love you guys. Mom, I'm sorry for all that I've put you through and all the things I've said before, you are a wonderful woman. We all make mistakes, it's okay. I love you.

Last but not least, all of you my beloved readers. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog, it means a lot to me. This is the place where I can just let it all out, share my life with you guys. Thank you so much! I hope you guys had a terrific Thanksgiving, and remember Thanksgiving is about being grateful for all the blessings you have in your life so go grab your phone and call your loved ones, let them know you are thankful to have them in your life. Put a smile on their face.

Thanksgiving Disaster

It's been a couple of days since I share something with you guys.
It's almost Thanksgiving, and to be honest I'm not a big fan of this holiday. You may be wondering, what's not to like? Good food, family getting together, and thanking God for our all our blessings.
Well as most of you know I've been through two family divorces. The first divorce didn't hurt me like the second one did, because I was very young and I never got to see what it was like to have my dad by my side so there was really no difference, but the second time was different.

My mom decided to give love a second chance, and brought into my life my step dad. It was wonderful, I had the male figure I didn't have before. I did not only gain a dad in this period of time, but two wonderful half sisters who I dearly love. The holidays were my favorite, I felt like I was living in a Christmas commercial. But it didn't last forever, the problems began and with time my ''perfect family'' was nothing more than a memory. It wasn't an easy divorce, a lot happened. The worst part was that it all fell apart right before the holidays, right before Thanksgiving.
I begged my mom to stay with my step dad, I didn't want to loose what we had but she didn't listen. A week before Thanksgiving, she kicked my step dad out. Back then I didn't understand what was happening, all I knew was that he wasn't there anymore. I cried myself to sleep that night, the next day wasn't any better. I cried everywhere, I was a mess. I couldn't stand being in that house, where we all had been happy once. The days went by and I wasn't getting any better so my mom thought it would be best for me to go to Peru, away from the place I once called home.
Last year I found out the truth, and finally understood that what my mother had done was for the best. I still wish things were different, I wish my family was still together.
It's been five years and it still hurts. I've tried my hardest to leave it in the past, but I just can't. I miss the old days...

Sex Ads

In the last couple of years the internet has made it easier for sexual predators to find their victims.
It all started in chat rooms, then websites such as MySpace and now I give you Craig's List.
I heard about Craig's List through a friend last year, but didn't really pay attention to the website's services until a couple of weeks ago. I was bored and came across the ''Personals'' section, where you can find multiple sex partners. I'm my opinion I see it as the vulgar version of EHarmony or Match and it's legal unless of course minors get involved. What has Craig's List done to prevent minors from getting involved? Absolutely nothing, the only thing they offer to protect young teens is a ''flag button''. Do you think if a sexual predator sees a ''sexual ad'' from a young sixteen year old he's going to flag such ad so it's removed? Of course not.
Some of you may be thinking some people go to such websites because they are just looking for a sexual partner, and there's nothing wrong about that. So I decided to conduct a small experiment, to see how safe Craig's List is. I posted two sex ads under Craig's List ''Casual Encounters''
The first ad was the following:


Want to have some fun? - w4m

I'm a 18 year brunette. 5'4, tan, average body looking to have some fun if you know what I mean ;)
I'm sick of going thru the process of getting to know people. I just want to get down to business. I don't want anyone clingy, just want some fun. No dinner, or lame dates.
If you like what you read e-mail me, and maybe we can set up a day to play around.
xoxo

I clearly stated I was eighteen years old, but how can anyone reading this ad know for sure that I'm an eighteen year old girl? Anyone could of posted an ad like this. An older man interested in young men could of posted such ad, meet up with the victim who is thinking he is going to meet up with an eighteen year old female and done horrible things to him. That's just one scenario, there's so many other awful things that could happen. After I posted this ad, I got 104 emails from different guys in four days, they were pretty basic. But this one surprised me, I honestly did not expect a response like this:

I saw your post and loved it!
I am a married sex freak that
just loves to get together
with young girls
and show them how it is really done!
My last 18 year old encounter had
15 orgasms over a 2 day period.
I live in Philly
and would love to pay your way
to come up here to philly
and spend the entire weekend naked
and shaking from orgasms.
This is a one time NSA event
and we will never speak again
after it happens.
I'm sending 2 pics along of me
and the last 18 year old I was with.
This was about 1 1/2 months ago.
You can see by the pics we did get it on.
I want this to be you!
Let get together and fuck like rabbits!
Let me know if you are interested
and please send a picture back. thanks! 

For privacy issues I'm not going to post the pictures I received, which were also disturbing.
The other e-mails I got were not as disturbing as this one, but they were still shocking. It may seem like there's nothing illegal here, but I lied about my age. He doesn't know that,
none of the other 103 guys that responded to my ad are aware of the fact that I'm a minor. But I'm more than sure that if I decided to meet up with them, more than 50% would not care about my age and go on with their sexual acts.

The second ad I posted was a little different, here it is:

School girl - w4m

Hi, I'm a school girl still in high school almost 18 looking to have some fun this cold winter.
I'm tired of jerks pretending that they like me, I just want to get down and dirty.
I don't care about your age, all I'm asking for is someone who knows how to move.
I'm free this weekend. My place all you need to bring is yourself.

I got eleven responses in less than an hour, some from older men that had no problem with me being a minor. The ad was removed not even an hour after I posted it, because someone flagged it. I was a little disappointed, but glad someone was responsible enough to flag it. They didn't know it was an experiment, so they did good. But even thought the ad was removed within
an hour I had already gotten eleven messages to choose from. There for ''flagging'' it doesn't do much. I'm already in danger.
I don't have a personal problem with Craig's List but I do think they need some work in that area, for the sake of not only our generation but for the next one too.
