Dear Women,
Men are logical, they fall in love the first time they lay eyes on yall. We cant help but to see the purity of yall souls, the wittiness of yall minds, and the curves on yall bodies. We paint these grand pictures of an ideal before we meet yall. We look to yall to be the mother we never had or the mother we have that yall will replace. We place mountains upon yall, waiting to see if yall would climb long enough to reach the top. As yall walk up, we throw rocks because we fear crowning our queen will end our masculinity. As yall turn and start back down, we promise to never throw rocks again; talking yall into walking back up, just to throw stones again blaming it on symantics. Yall turn again promising yall selves yall never walk up again. We offer to carry yall half way up and yall give in, but not without packing bags, testing our strength honoring how committed we will be. We lift, start to carry, and walk upward; yall yell faster faster. We feel insulted; place yall down, and walk up the mountain alone. We’re hit in the back with a rock and then stone. We look back at our queen, pick her up, and carry her the rest of the way. Men are just searching for their equals while yall are just looking for someone who can carry the load!!!!
Parenting
A child’s laugh can warm the coldest house; their footsteps bring a dead one to life. I love having my little girl parading around my home. She reminds me that I have so much to live for. I love having someone to pass my wisdom on to. Her eyes assure me that I am succeeding as a parent. Her smile reassures me that she is succeeding as a child. Just to think, there are people that take this job for granted, as if they can make up the work anytime they wish. It’s a 24 hour, seven days a week happiness! It’s a dream career that allows dreaming to become a career. Love is the greatest greatness that brings the great out of a person. Parenting is a hardship that is exceptionally rewarding. It gives us a chance to nurture the mind, body, and soul of another human being; which was created by the miracle of one moment. Now, at seven they are reading, writing, and reminding us of lost information from the second grade. It is precious; whether doing homework, watching movies, or just dancing around the house because we can. Are people really forced by the courts to do this? Wow!!!!
The Stock is High!!!!
You put me on a pedestal, showing that I am worth your praise. I will promise to never disappoint you. I will maintain my status by continuing to maintain my weight. There is no turning back, I set the bar high and your expectations shouldn’t be placed below it. The pressure is a pleasure;
it encourages me to continue to thrive. I’m crippled because you showed me how much further I can see being blinded. I am in love and forever is in sight. Let’s sit back and start increasing value. We will make billions; billions of hugs, billions of kisses, and billions of times we make love. We are wealthy because we invested in each other; we will preserve that wealth by having faith in our stock!!!!
Realationship
The failure of a relationship varies in reasons, but ultimately it stems from one/two believing it wouldn’t be in their benefit to continue. We can blame each other but it boils down to chemistry. Mix two substances that don’t belong together and it will blow up. We are groomed to put our best foot forward and once in the door show that the other foot has a defect. That advice does get us in the door but it doesn’t keep us there; hence the divorce rate being so high. Society puts a premium on instant gratification e.g. sex, money, and self-promotion, but the gratification will truly come from unity; taking the time to build a connection that will weather the storms, strengthen when tested, and most importantly be an example to link others. Let’s stop using our first date to be liked, and start using them to fall in-love. Allow the person across from you to know who they’re investing in “past”, “present”, and “future”. Let them know where you come from, who you are, and where you wish to be. Use God’s gift of choice to build a relationship that is based on two people merging to share the same lane, going to the same destination!!!!
Fear of the Unknown
I have always been there to see what she couldn’t; I guarded her back with my life. She still looked over her shoulder, putting all her faith in what could happen, and not what was. If she can’t blindly believe that I was here to assist her through life, than she would never see that a partnership takes that dependency. We went our separate ways because it stopped being fun to work, and even harder to play.
Sorry isn’t Enough
My days were all smiles before today when she caught me cheating; the life I once knew is no longer! I allowed my curiosity to surpass my love! I can convince her that the other girls meant nothing, but I paid a heavy price! I was selfish, heartless, and childish! I was still playing with toys at a time I was suppose to be establishing my manhood! At this point, my sorry wouldn’t be for her, it’s how I am feeling about myself! I bragged and boasted (with the fella’s) about the quantity, when I should have been about the quality! She was great and the problems were minimal; she is a plus, and I took it all away! I said “I would never get caught”, but now I see that was only a thought; that’s exactly where those women should have stayed! I gambled my future and lost! If I didn’t get caught would I have stopped? Not at all! The reality is, a married man acting single will end a single man wishing he was married!
Parental Guidance
The disappointment in your child’s face is so hard to face; yet, we look them eye to eye, start nursing their wound, and hope it doesn’t scar. What is “just life” to us is the world to them. A part of parenting is understands that our child/ren only sees the whole and not the sum of its parts. They live in the moment; we have to teach them that moments are collected, and how we spend them will accrue wealth or bankruptcy. We should inform them that disappointment is endless but it doesn’t have to be the end. Our control isn’t in our ability to prevent it but in our ability to recover; it’s okay to cry, let it out because if not, it’s going to eat them from the inside out. We are preparing them for a world that lacks perfection by encouraging them to sustain their purity!!!!
