How did your family feel about dating a black person ?

My parents are divorced, so my mom and my stepdad we're super chilled about it. I also had a conversation with all of my parents about interracial relationships before I ever dated anyone from a different race. My dad however did not respond well at all. But I have to say that we have come a long way from him believing it’s a sin to realize that it's not but it's just not ”his preference”. My parents know I love them and that I honor them but that I won't base who I marry one day on their preference. I have also come to believe that after then initial shock my dad might have if I come home with a guy from another race or culture that he has the capacity to accept and love the person once he gets to know them.

Do you think women mature at a younger age than men?

According to neuroscience generally, women’s brains mature quicker than men’s but it's not always the case.

Have you ever been in a situation where you and your best friend nearly peed your pants on a bus/car trip?

Because we were laughing or because there was no bathroom? I’ve definitely been in that situation before because of both reasons combined. Especially when we were on our way to Zambia for a mission trip. I laugh a lot with my friends.

Do people give you a hard time about your age and the things you are talking about? What do you think about wisdom and youth?

Sometimes yes. But I would say more about what I’m saying than my age. I think wisdom is a gift from God & it’s not linked to age. I think God can use anyone regardless of their age.
