Why are we just surviving, instead of living?

     There is always talk about how hard men have it in this world with the temptation of half naked women all over the place in everyday life. From the mall where you see Victoria Secret models posing in next to nothing in ten foot photographs to advertise the undergarments, to the ability to access the porn industry with just a couple clicks, our world is doing everything in it's power to make it next to impossible to live a life that isn't filled with the garbage that surrounds us. Although yes, I can  only imagine the difficulties of being a man in this world, what about the talk of being a woman in that same world?

There is the talk about the fear of a young woman trying to live a Christ-like life in that same world, or the risks of walking or traveling anywhere alone because she may be the target of a group of men so ready to have their way with her and leave her for dead. Then there are the more subtle men that simply sweet talk a woman right out of her clothes. These are the men she had to put up in her day to day life: Perverted men she knows are undressing her in their minds no matter what she is wearing. How is she supposed to live freely and without apprehension, knowing she is being objectified by many of the men she comes in contact with? The conversations she overhears between men can make her want to hide under a rock with no means of ever returning to the light of day. 

I'm not here to talk about how women have it much harder then men, but simply that the struggles are there for both sexes. I also want to encourage women out there to stand strong and not fall for the tricks of those dishonorable men out there that are only trying to satisfy their ulterior motives. 

Sitting here typing this, I can only imagine the amount of women that are already 'tainted' in their eyes. Just because you've lived the lifestyle of using sex to create jealousy, or used it to simply feel loved and held for that short amount of time, I will give you this good news: It is not too late to turn back! That life isn't something you have to live. There is such thing as demanding the respect of a man, thus having him accepting your wishes in the area of intimacy. A man that is truly respecting your wishes will not try to sweet talk you into what you just said you didn't want, nor will he try to bargain with you. I truly believe that there is one man for every woman. So why would you want to spend your life  before you meet them sleeping with every other person you come in contact with? How would that make your future husband feel? Like he is nothing special and just another notch in your headboard? 

Hence the title of this blog; it's ultimately about living your life the way you want to, and taking charge of your body. Don't leave it up to a guy, because chances are you'll end up with multiple holes in your heart leaving you incomplete for your husband. Whether or not you even believe in marriage; there is going to be that one person that eventually comes into your life that you'll want to spend the rest of it with. Wouldn't it be amazing on your wedding day to be able to say to your husband.  "You have my entire heart because I've never given it to another man." Could you imagine how special he would feel? How honored and how he would feel the desire to protect it? Also.... "My body is also yours because I lived knowing this day would come and I wanted to give you this gift." 

So ladies, lets not just try surviving this world by rolling with the punches, but lets throw a few of our own and live this life! 

        So I, Vanessa Boose am jumping onto this blogging bandwagon. All I know is that this blog is going to be a random collection of everything that has to do with my life on a day to day basis. Those subjects vary from music, movies, fashion, celebrities, religion, fitness and everything in between. 

Not to sound conceited or anything but, enough about my blog. It's time to learn about me, that is if you don't know me already. 

I am the eldest of four girls, three of which are triplets. No, I am not one of the triplets. Recently (yesterday), I entered into my twenty-fifth year of existence. I am a born and raised Army brat who loves to, and dreams of traveling. I fondly refer to myself as a living contradiction due to my wide variety of interests. My nationality is always the most fun part of filling out an online job application. Black, white and Native American, though that is simply put. My eyes are brown. Gosh, it's hard to talk about yourself..... 

Growing up I was raised Christian. Now I'm sure you're expecting to hear about how I strayed from my faith in God and such. That is indeed not the case. At the age of 24, I am still a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. Although some days are much easier then others. I have my days that are just full of smiles and shouts of joy for my Savior. Other days are just downright hard. Tears and cries of frustration in the direction of that same Savior. The thing I love about God though is that He is always there, and just because you were pissed off at him yesterday doesn't change how much He loves you or how He is there for you. Anyway,  I could go on for days and days about how God is amazing, but I won't. At least not today. ;) 

In December of 2012, I graduated from Paul Mitchell the School. So if you can't tell, I love doing hair! Although going through cosmetology school had brought to light the fact that I ADORE makeup! I'd already known that from the time I was about 17, but school actually showed me you could have a career in makeup artistry. I've done a wedding, multiple fashion shows, (which I also planned) and various photo shoots. Speaking of photo shoots, I have a love of photography as well. 

I can very much be a girly girl with my love of fashion and makeup, but there is a tomboyish side of me that loves to wrestle. (Sorry for the bruises mom!) A tattoo or piercing shop are two of the coolest places to hang out and talk to people in my opinion. I've lost count of my ear piercings, which I could go and count but that is too much work. So we'll just say I have a bunch of holes in my head, two in my nose and one in my lip. Which lately I've been having a love/hate relationship with. After about three years it may be over between me and Mr. lip piercing. I have eight tattoos, and many more ideas. 

I have the perverted mind of a man. You have to be a complete jerk for me to not like you. Getting me to laugh on the other hand is not a hard thing to do. I've been told that I'm one of the most cheerful people that anyone has ever met. Honestly, sometimes I'm just a good actress though. Music is like my heartbeat. Recently I've broadened my musical horizons, at least slightly. I have gone from listening to mostly rock and metal to listening to almost everything, including some country! 

Anyway, that is me, Vanessa Boose in a nutshell. And now I'm going to go do something that has nothing to do with me because I've had enough of me. 

By the way, I'm a Pintrest addict! So follow me on there if you have it.



Umm, bye? Over and out? Peace? Whatever I say to end a blog.....talk to you later.
