Childhood was brutal
True story... When I was in eighth grade there was a taunt that several girls would sing about me behind my back:
"My name is Chrissy, I'm a whore
Oh Norman give me more!
I'm a bitch, I have power
I had sex in Aaron's shower!"
While tramatic at the time, in retrospect I've got to give the girls major props for combining so many rumors about me into such a catchy rhyme.
Interesting how others' perceptions of you can affect who you become.
Not that I'm saying I am or am not a slut, because what exactly is a slut to begin with?
Websters: slut
Etymology: Middle English slutte
1 chiefly British : a slovenly woman
2 a : a promiscuous woman; especially : PROSTITUTE b : a saucy girl : MINX
Originally it meant a messy/dirty lazy woman. When did promiscuity become part of the mix? And is definition 2b favorable? I certainly wouldn't mind being a saucy minx...
I do know that such early association with my sexuality has permanently tied my perception of myself into certain choices I have made. They're generally not things I'm ashamed of, but I wonder how I would be different if I hadn't fallen in love at such a young age and if that relationship hadn't had such an overwhelming effect on who I've become. Do destiny and fate actually play a role in our lives, or is everything random chance?
