Thanks to @WisdomIsMisery, I came across this lovely video on youtube… His delivery is quite commical yet there seems to be some sincerity behind his words… As MsGoodiGoodi always tells me, “the sincerest truth is often told through a joke.”
*Video contains profanity*
Let’s just say that Chrisette inspired me.
I have to admit it, I have been wasting my time…and maybe he would say the same thing.
Have you ever met someone that you’d never–not in a million years–think that you would click–let alone that they would be someone that you’d end up in this weird back and forth relationship? (And I use the term relationship loosely…)
So I have had it all wrong…
First comes sex, then comes baby carriage… and if I’m really really really lucky, and play my cards right…then maybe, just maybe I will get the love and marriage?
Seriously?
I once dated a guy who told me that if he was dating a girl and she became pregnant, he would then just go ahead and marry her (with the assumption that he is the father… Maury, I might have a show for you!)… irregardless of the relationship the two shared, he would work to build a relationship on the basis of parenthood.
I started not to write this… I feel like a broken record, with this unrequited love thing and all…
Here we stand in a crowded room… we arrived separately, not knowing that the other would be here. Our eyes meet from across the room… I quickly look away. I feel uncomfortable in your presence, sensing my awkwardness you try to make me feel at ease. You catch my attention and ask me to come to you, “Closer… closer… no closer.” Here we stand, face- to- face, lips barely missing each other. My emotions overtake me as I look into your eyes. I see you looking back at me as if you’re looking into me…into my soul. I retreat, giving into the moment…
On day all ‘dem bags, gon get in your way ~ Erykah Badu
Baggage…we are constantly being told to let go of it…do not bring items from your last trip along on your next journey.
However, sometimes it is necessary to claim your baggage and take it with you on your next stop in life.
We all have baggage…
Some good…some bad…
Some rugged and worn…some as strong as Samsonite.
Too often it seems that we operation based on assumptions…
Instead of asking for clarification we draw our on conclusions and react accordingly.
He has not made any effort to speak to me in three days, so apparently he is not interested… how do you know he is not interesting? Did you ask him why he has been non-responsive? Did you ever stop to consider that he may have a lot going on that has nothing to do with you… so instead of making assumptions based on his actions, why not reach out to him?
The Relationship Manual
I often talk to clients who are furious over how someone has treated them. They assume the other person should have known better. For example, a girl complains that her boyfriend didn’t have her favorite wine on hand for their anniversary dinner (although she never mentioned wanting it), or that her girlfriends should’ve known she’d need to spend the entire girls-night-out venting about her boss.
Not referring to the novel written by Terry McMillan, nor the made for HBO movie starring Saana Lathan and Wesley Snipes that bares the same name…
I am not talking about Chris Angel vanishing before one’s eyes, nor am I referring to the street magic of David Blaine…
Disappearing Acts…
Now you see him now you don’t. Where did he go? Was that my imagination? He could not have vanished right before my very eyes!
You know what it is, you make something out of nothing – Juvenile
Of course, well all are chasing paper…We all have to make a living, we all want to have nice things…
But I’m not talking about the type of paper that can be deposited at Bank of America.
Ladies, it’s time that we sit back and reflect…time to own up to why we sometimes end up in these relationships that lead us to a dead in to nowhere.
