Well now, let me tell ya somethin’ that’s been on my mind for a while. You ever feel like you’re the odd one out? Like everyone else is walkin’ through life all happy-like, and you’re just standin’ there, scratchin’ your head? That’s how I feel sometimes. You see, I’m the only one in my friend group who still got my… uh, innocence, if you know what I mean. All the other girls around me, they’ve gone through that stage already, and here I am, still standin’ at the edge of the field, watchin’ ’em all run off ahead.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not sayin’ I’m some saint or somethin’. I ain’t got no problems with what anyone else chooses to do with their lives. But sometimes, I can’t help but wonder: what’s wrong with me? Why am I the only one left who’s still holdin’ on to this thing? I mean, it gets to a point where you start feelin’ a little left behind. Ain’t that a strange feelin’? Like, every time my friends start talkin’ about their relationships or their experiences, I just sorta sit there, starin’ at the ground, not really knowin’ how to join in.
Some days, it feels like there’s a big ol’ sign hangin’ over me that says “still a virgin.” And boy, does that ever make me feel out of place. It’s like I’m stuck in a world where everybody’s already made it to the next stage, and I’m still over here, tryin’ to figure out where I fit in. I’ve heard a lot of talk about people feelin’ ready to take that step, and I ain’t sayin’ I don’t feel that way too. But somethin’ just holds me back, like a big ol’ rock in my chest. Maybe it’s fear, or maybe it’s just not the right time. Either way, I sure do wonder sometimes why I’m still standin’ here alone in this one part of life.
But you know, there’s somethin’ else I’ve been thinkin’ about. Sometimes people tell me that it’s okay, that I shouldn’t rush it. And at first, I didn’t get it. How could it be okay when everyone else around me seems to be movin’ forward, and I’m stuck in the same spot? But then, I started thinkin’. Maybe it’s alright to go at your own pace. Maybe there ain’t no need to compare myself to others. Maybe I don’t need to be in a hurry just ‘cause everyone else is doin’ it. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll know when it’s the right time for me.
You know, there’s always this talk about “losing your virginity” like it’s somethin’ big, like it’s a rite of passage or somethin’. They say it’s what makes you an adult. But I reckon that ain’t entirely true. Just ’cause you ain’t done somethin’ don’t mean you ain’t grown up. Heck, I’ve been through plenty in life already—workin’ hard, raisin’ kids, keepin’ my family together. That makes me just as grown as the next person, even if I ain’t had that one experience yet. There’s more to life than just what happens in the bedroom.
But then again, the pressure gets to you. It really does. People talk. People whisper. And then you start feelin’ like maybe somethin’s wrong with you. Why ain’t I out there kissin’ boys or havin’ relationships like the others? Why do I still feel so… inexperienced? But maybe it’s just ’cause I’ve been takin’ my time. Maybe I’m waitin’ for somethin’ that feels right, somethin’ that makes sense, instead of just doin’ it for the sake of doin’ it.
And let me tell you, I’ve heard plenty of stories. Some of the girls in my group, they tell me how great it was when they first kissed someone, or how wonderful it felt to share a special moment with someone they cared about. I ain’t gonna lie, I listen to those stories and I can’t help but feel a little bit jealous. I ain’t envyin’ them for the act itself, but for the feelin’ they got to experience. It makes me wonder, what’s it like to share that kind of closeness with someone? What’s it like to be so open with someone else, to let your guard down completely?
But the truth is, it’s alright if you’re still a virgin. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with it. People rushin’ around tellin’ you you’re behind or that you’re missin’ out, but that don’t make it true. I’ve learned, the hard way sometimes, that it’s better to wait for the right person. To wait for the right moment. And if it takes a little longer than most, then so be it. I’m not in any race. Life’s about takin’ your time and doin’ things when it feels right for you, not when someone else says you should.
So if you’re feelin’ like me, like you’re the last one in your group to make that leap, don’t fret. Take it slow. Let things unfold when they’re supposed to. Don’t let the pressure or the talk from other people make you feel like you’re less than anyone else. We all got our own journey, and that’s what makes us special.
