I Guess I Am... "Unavailable"

So tonight I had the pleasure of meeting one of my mother's "friends" (Haha more like a loosely acquaintance). He seemed very friendly and nice until he caught a look at my rings. I wear two rings- the one my mother gave me for my 17th birthday and the one my brother gave me. But the "problem" is that I wear the one my mother gave me on my left hand ring finger... (Granted I am a lefty and love to stare it lol!) Now when this man saw that I do this, he felt obligated to inform me on the Godly law of wearing a ring on such finger- if you are not engaged nor married. He was making it seem as if I was sinning against some precious principle and dared to ask me if I believe in God. I respectfully answered yes but wait... just because I believe in God does not mean I believe in all things and beliefs associated with Him (Nor do I have to believe in what you believe in). This man proceeded to profoundly and aggressively educate me on the everlasting and cherished meaning behind such finger... Saying how when I am in the club and guys come up to me to flirt but then see my ring they will run away... Really Guy? Now I on the other hand continued to express my indifference of his opinion, due to me cherishing my own. As I left this gathering, where this man was, I was honestly very upset and frustrated at the fact that this man was trying his hardest to educate and school me to the point where I would remove my ring to a different finger right away. Ahhh no! As the young classy woman that I am, I sat there poised with a slight "I do not care" face and proceeded to stand my ground and defend myself. What I do not understand is, how is me wearing a ring on any finger upsetting and a bother to you? How does that affect you? Honestly, it is none of your business. Hahaha but this story get's better... This man, that was so called schooling me, is supposedly married yet slightly hitting on my mom and was NOT wearing his wedding band... I am confused... Are you? Now that is what you call a double standard. Basically what he was trying to get at is that women are "obligated" to only wear a ring on their left hand ring finger if they are engaged or married to signify they are one's property... Excuse me? Hahaha last time I checked I was never and will never be any man's property! I may believe in Him but I do not believe in the objectification of women. I will not be belittled as a woman nor should any woman be. We women are not property. We women are not only good for our bodies. You want to keep checking me, well check mate friend because guess what... we are in 2017. Also here is a little history lessen, when marriage was created long ago, it was not for the intended purpose of love. Marriage was created solely to gain social, economic, and political benefits; such as, status. Not only was a married woman seen as a man's property but she was seen as superior to women who were not married. Although the usage of marriage has grown tremendously, gender roles, within marriage, exist immensely. However, I am not diminishing those who are married, if you are I wholeheartedly wish you the best:) I just want to make it clear, that marriage is not for everybody. Everybody has their own views and perceptions on life. Everybody has their own beliefs. I respect your opinion and beliefs, therefore respect mine. As of right now I do not believe in marriage, I do not want to get married in the future. I am not saying never. But I am preaching for the now. Therefore, if anyone has a problem with that please feel free to subscribe, leave me a comment, or just leave. Otherwise, I will be enjoying my life engagement ring or not; wedding band or not; fashionably or not. Haha I will still be here, and still be innocently fierce. 

Xoxo,
Miss True.
