ROMANTICIZING BODY COUNT 👁️👩‍❤️‍👨
<p>She sat in the middle of her friend group, laughing as they compared <strong>body count </strong>like they were scores in a game.</p><p>“Only five?” one of them teased. “Girl, you need to catch up!”</p><p>She smiled, pretending to be unbothered, even throwing in a playful eye roll. But deep inside, a quiet voice whispered, “This doesn’t feel right.”</p><p><br/></p><p>It wasn’t the kind of guilt that screams </p><p>it was the gentle discomfort of knowing you’re part of a conversation you no longer align with </p><p> She remembered the younger version of herself, the one who once believed sex was sacred. The one who promised she’d wait until marriage. </p><p>But somewhere between heartbreak, peer pressure, and trying to feel "wanted," things changed. She didn’t just lose her innocence, she started calling it freedom.</p><p><br/></p><p>She remembered the first time she heard the word "body count". She thought it meant how many people had died in a war movie, lol. Now it's been flocked around like a compliment.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now, sitting in that circle, she watched how casually everyone threw the word body count around. No one said fornication. No one mentioned soul ties, spiritual consequences, or the aching emptiness that sometimes follows “casual” sex. The world had renamed it. Cleaned it up. Made it trendy. Like it wasn’t the very thing God warned us about. Not because He wanted to limit us, but because He wanted to protect us</p><p><br/></p><p>And maybe it's not just the act itself, but how comfortable we’ve become with covering it up with cute words.</p><p>This is not about judging anyone, it is about waking up from the lie the world has sold to us.</p><p>Because let’s be honest, body count is just a softer word for a deeper issue. And while culture may laugh about it, he<span style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'>aven doesn’t!!.</span></p><p><br/></p>
