RELATIONS- The art of relating..
Hello and welcome February!! I'm finally recovering from a COVID like symptom but somehow my body still aches. I think it's God's way of saying that I need more rest them ever. I feel very awful that I can't play with my little ones the way that I would like to. However, on the brighter note, I like their company!! Why the Subject? I just took a nice shower with one of my favorite body scrubs and I had a thought that wandered into my head. I recently met a nice gentleman, and he asked me out and of course I denied the offer. Suddenly, he wanted to know more about me. The same questions from almost every guy and it sounded like a repeated interview :)
How many kids do you have? How old are your kids? Are they all from the same dad? etc..etc..etc...Yes, Yes, Yes, he didn't even ask of my preference lol...just saying! I told him how many kids I has and no they weren't all from the same father. He, maybe, jokingly said that I was the problem. Oh yes, I think I've decided on that way before I met him. I like being alone, I enjoy partnerships and I like being an independent thinker. I have a brain that I enjoy using and sharing ideas with my partner is sensual. Unfortunately, like I told this gentleman, I haven't been lucky in meeting a partner that didn't want to dominate me which is unattractive btw. So, I smiled with sarcasm in my respond to me being the problem :)
I didn't need to further explain myself or go in depth about my life. Quite frankly, I didn't even care about his opinion. I was very happy to "friend zone" him immediately. As I was in the shower, I became to meditate on this conversation, and I've only had three serious failed relationships which I intended for long-term, but it didn't work out that way. I packed my bags and opened a new chapter! And when that chapter ended, I closed another day, packed my bags and opened a new chapter. One of my favorite writers is on Instagram (writing_raw)- follow this guy if you can and see a man that is taking accountability for lack thereof that led to a failed relationship as well. Why do society think that women should be held to a certain standard of maintain a relationship and that we should accept their bad behavior as the cost of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health? I believe it goes both ways. A man is equally responsible for maintaining a healthy, balanced relationship.
In the spirit of St. Valentine, as we are celebrating this entire month, I believe that we need to look on both sides before passing Judgements on others. When you find a book that gives you a straight path in Life dealing with reality ups and downs, please mail it to me.
With Love,
Always and forever. Live. Love. Laugh
