JUDGEMENT

“

You are not your bra-size,

nor are you the width of your waist,

nor are you the slenderness of your calves.

You are not your hair color, your skin color, nor are you a shade of lipstick.

Your shoe-size is of no consequence. 

You are not defined by the amount of attention you get from males, females, or any combination thereof. You are not the number of sit-ups you can do, 

nor are you the number of calories in a day. 

You are not your mustache. 

You are not the hair on your legs.

You are not a little red dress.

You are no amalgam of these things.

You are the content of your character.

You are the ambitions that drive you.

You are the goals that you set. 

You are the things that you laugh at and the words that you say. 

You are the thoughts you think and the things you wonder. 

You are beautiful and desirable not for the clique you attend, 

but for the spark of life within you that compels you to make your life a full and meaningful one. 

You are beautiful not for the shape of the vessel, but for the volume of the soul it carries.

REAL MEN DONT BUY GIRLS.

• 12.3 million people are enslaved today worldwide

• Two million children are bought and sold in the global commercial sex trade
• The average age of entry into commercial sex slavery in the United States is 13 years old
• The global sex slavery market generates $32 billion in profits each year
• Every 10 minutes, a woman or child is trafficked into the United States for forced labor
• Most “johns” are quite ordinary: 70-90% are married, and most are employed with no criminal record

BENEFITS OF KISSING

1. Long kisses are beneficial to our circulatory system. When kissing, our pulse rate is quickening up to 110 beats per minute. This is a great training for our cardiovascular system.
2. After kissing, the lungs work harder, resulting in 60 inhales per minute compared to regular 20 inhales. Such “ventilation” is a good preventive measure against lung diseases.
3. Some dentists believe that kissing is a preventive measure against dental caries. Indeed, kissing stimulates the flow of saliva that eliminates acid coat on the teeth.
4. Kisses that last more than three minutes help us fight stress and its effects. Long kisses trigger the chain of biochemical reactions, which destroys stress hormones.
5. Those who kiss their partner goodbye each morning live five years longer than those who don’t.
6. Kissing is great for self-esteem. It makes you feel appreciated and helps your state of mind.
7. Kissing burns calories, 2-3 calories a minute and can double your metabolic rate. Research claims that three passionate kisses a day (at least lasting 20 seconds each) will cause you to loose an entire extra pound.
8. Kissing is a known stress-reliever. Passionate kissing relieves tension, reduces negative energy and produces a sense of well being, lowering your cortisol ‘stress’ hormone.
9. Kissing uses 30 facial muscles and it helps keep the facial muscles tight, preventing baggy cheeks! The tension in the muscles caused by a passionate kiss helps smooth the skin and increases the circulation.
10. Kissing is good for the heart, as it creates an adrenaline which causes your heart to pump more blood around your body. Frequent kissing has scientifically been proven to stabilize cardiovascular activity, decrease blood pressure and cholesterol.
11. Those who kiss quite frequently are less likely to suffer from stomach, bladder and blood infections.
12. During a kiss, natural antibiotics are secreted in the saliva. Also, the saliva contains a type of anesthetic that helps relieve pain.
13. Kissing reduces anxiety and stops the ‘noise’ in your mind. It increases the levels of oxytocin, an extremely calming hormone that produces a feeling of peace.
