It is difficult, almost impossible, in today's climate, to not succumb to casual sex in this "sex sells everything," culture. We have made casual sex, hook ups, NSA, and FWB a cultural norm.It is easy no matter what age to get caught up in this lifestyle. It becomes a cycle of feeling lonely, sad, depressed, or left out and using sex to feel better. Before long, you are numb to the feelings that should come with the healthy sex God intended. This can make you feel worse about yourself or situation and need more, not counting the consequences. Then you go around the mountain with God, never reaching your destination or the plan God intended for you. You give up on dreams of getting married and having a family or settle for "baby daddy/mamma drama." Learn how to stop going around the mountain with God, making bad choices that can impact you for the rest of your life.There is a cost to disobedience and reward for following God's blueprint. Regardless of your choices, God can still make good of any situation. He can redeem your story and help you find that you are STILL LOVABLE.

Ella Pottle's life has been a rollercoaster. It has had some loops and twists and turns and highs and lows, and sometimes it has gone around that same track more than once. In Mi Vida Loca, she shares her story, the story of a young girl who had two children before the age of nineteen.In this memoir, Pottle tells how rather than let this define her, she found a way to provide the world with a different and positive outlook. She discusses how she believes her kids are the factor that saved her from living a tragic life. They gave her a reason to work hard, and they provided her with the love she craved.To some, becoming a teen parent may look like a tragedy, but for Pottle it was a journey that gave her a reason to live and do the best she could to break the cycle of generational trauma for her branch of the family tree.
