Our judgments are often clouded by misconceptions. In the end, we each hold our own versions of truth. When misconceptions become the truth, reality is distorted. I am the “Truth Blogger”. My mission is to tell you the truth about your truth. I am also here to confirm whether my own truth is really the truth. I do not know what the outcome of this blog will be. Will my truth become your truth or will your truth become my truth or maybe it turns out that both our versions of the truth are not really the truth. However, I am certain about the fact that I am not ignorant. “I do not believe everything I hear, read, or see,” as quoted by Diana Bedoya. My purpose of blogging and I believe your purpose of reading my blog is to find out whether the truth that we have been holding ever so long in our lives is really the truth or merely a misconception.
So, let’s find out the truth together, shall we? I cannot do this alone.

For my young, beautiful ladies out there, in the above two scenarios, which is the truth for you? Have you ever thought about whether taking birth control pills is good or bad? If you are not currently taking birth control pills but planning to in the near future, do you have any concerns about the effects of birth control pills?
I do for one. I honestly have no clue as to whether they are good or bad, but I am still taking them. I heard that birth control pills increase the chances of women in getting breast cancer, but I am still taking them. But I also heard that birth control pills have a 99.9% success rate of preventing pregnancy (REALLY?), so that’s why I am not stopping.
This is probably only 2% of all the misconceptions and uncertainties about birth control pills. This is the reason why I am blogging. I want to know the truth because I am making a decision to ingest this unknown white-colored-candy-looking pill every single day for the past 5 years. Seriously, is this thing even healthy?
It is important that I know the truth about my health. Everybody should acknowledge the potential goods and harms of the things we ingest into our bodies and the possible consequences that follow from the ingestion of such substances. I want to be able to make a logical decision on whether I should continue taking birth control pills or not by the end of this semester. I hope to learn about all the positive and negative effects of birth control pills and I will determine and sort out the facts from the misconceptions. I will find out the truth… hopefully.
