I don't consider myself to be star-struck by any means... I'm not one to "ooh and ah" over anyone's every breath but rather, I look at people with some sort of celebrity status (whether they are a movie star, politician or a Church authority) as a normal person who's job puts their every move under the microscope of public scrutiny.
Still there are some people who I find very interesting.
Bristol Palin is one of those interesting people. She has a blog that I follow, Bristol's Blog. Is it a campaign trick for her mother's political ambitions? Or a publicity stunt to boost sales of her book? Perhaps. But now and then it's fun to take a glimpse into the life of a well-known and sometimes controversial family. A family, who celebrity status notwithstanding, looks an awfully lot like most families I know with their own struggles and moments of joy.
Awhile back, Bristol put up
this post about why she is (now) choosing abstinence before marriage. While I agree with her that it is best to put solid commitment before a sexual relationship, not everyone sees it that way. And that's ok... we all have the agency to choose for ourselves in this life. What I think surprised me is the attack mentality of those who disagree. It is Bristol's blog... her forum to share her ideas and beliefs.
Just like this blog is my forum to put my thoughts into words. It's my space to share the things that are important to me. Your approval, while appreciated, isn't necessary. I'm going to keep telling my story in my voice.
I hope Bristol Palin keeps her voice as well.

As I look back on my life...what would be different if I had chosen to abstain ...what would my world be like now? Kudos to those who choose this ideal!~
