Marriage. Kids. They’re not for everybody. I am reading this book by Eleanore Wells. And as I read about her story I reflect on mine. As a kid, when I played house with my cousins I was always the wife/momma. I don’t ever remember having a choice in the matter. I remember planning my wedding in middle/high school. And I remember at some point desiring to have children. But now at 31 yrs old my perspective has changed. I didn’t always want a husband. While in college mating was my focus, my education, my career was. Now I would definitely like to marry, but I am not so sure about the kids part. Children are a huge responsibility. I know parents that do not like their kids. I don’t want to live that life. So as for me…Marriage = Yes, Kids = Not so much.
The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl - Episode 9 - The Happy Hour
This is hilarity at its finest!
I hate when I know someone is lying to me & they try to convince you that it is truth. I hate lies before bedtime, because I woke up feeling crummy because I went to sleep with a lie on my mind. Why do ppl say they are going to do things they know they don’t have time for?! Why do ppl say they are going to do things that they have no intention of doing?! FOLKS STOP LYING! LIES ruin lives!!
I have been on a “Lose The Juicy” journey for a while. A journey that I have been failing at. I’m not fat. (Praise God!) But I am extra juicy and for health reasons I need to get the weight off. My job is having a biggest loser challenge at work (which started last week) and I have already lost 2 pounds. I am super excited about it. This week I am going to put a lot more effort in and maybe I could lose more. :-) Wish me luck!!!
My first (and only) boyfriend that I had while in college always tried to kiss and hug and have sex with me whenever I was sad or upset. That used to make me so angry. I would always tell him that sex was not going to make me feel better.
Eight years later I understand why he did that. That technique does work in the right scenario. It didn’t work back then because I was not THAT attracted to him and the thought of having sex with him kinda repulsed me. But now I am/was dating a guy that uses that same technique and with him it works. I am super attracted to him. When we fall out the sex somehow always brings us back together. Dumb I know.
But this is truly a revelation for me. I never did understand why “college” boyfriend thought sex was going to make me feel better. ::shrug::
A simple question, requesting a simple answer. If YOU asked someone how they are & they don’t respond, do you ask again or ignore the fact that you asked? If I notice someone/anyone does not answer a specific question I ask I ask AGAIN? Especially if it is someone important to me. Your thoughts?
