Day 03 — Your views on religion
Touchy. I think religion is understandable, and for many, very necessary. Some people need a REASON to be a good person, and religion serves that purpose. Some may not need a book to tell them what is right & wrong. Religion can teach morals, and through morals you know what is right & wrong, however, spiritually, I believe, you know what is right and wrong already. You know when something is okay & when something is not. Religion just adds justification & reasoning, that not everybody may need. IDK, that probably doesn’t make much sense, but I’ll redo this answer later when I really sit & think about it. OH, and this point probably doesn’t make sense, but I think religion is a good idea on paper, but instead of making people more unified, comfortable, and righteous, it almost does the opposite for many - ostracizes them, dehumanizes some, and judges most. Religion should alleviate uncertainty, not be the cause it.
Day 04 — Your favorite book
The Autobiography of Malcolm X, followed by The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day (poems) by Nikki Giovanni, and this book called Intuition I read my freshman year of college.
Day 05 — Your favorite quote
I have many but:
Then I had a thought: maybe I didn’t break Big. Maybe the problem was he couldn’t break me. Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free, until they find someone just as wild to run with. - Carrie, Sex & The City
that’s my favorite right now, I’ve been obsessed with SATC lately. I feel like this quote relates to me to a T… I’m not WILD persay, but I feel like I’m un-tamable, in a sense. I’d go in detail… but… nah.

Day 07 — Do you believe in abortion
do I believe in o_O? Like does it exist? Or do I believe its wrong?
If you’re asking the latter, I do believe abortion is wrong, but I don’t believe it is anyone else’s place to tell a woman what to do with her offspring and her body, other than the woman.
