EDITOR'S BLOG PICK: venting

EDITOR
Posted By: Shamika Edwards on May 17, 2010

what is it ? is it me or are guys now a days just all great pretenders. maybe i just know how to pick them huh. seriously after a train wreck of the same mess im left wondering ..... whats really going on ?? whats wrong with me ?? why cant a guy love me 110% ..true honest love... give me what i give them.. some guys are really artificial when it comes to love .. i guess these days love is over-rated ... or atleast thats how i feel .. here i am young beautiful fun hardworking and ambitious ..ready... and all i ever asked is that a guy keep it honest with me .. be real .. be grown .. lol but those terms are so misrepresented ..



vainly modified and demonstrated .. bascially meaningless
the word love may have lost its value in the hearts of many because of that
thats probably why so many people become bitter towards it
disabling their ability to love just to avoid the pain. in actuality ,love has a greater value .. love should be precieved just as you would view and appreciate the great wonders of this world .. from the misty blue oceans to the beautiful shadows of the moutains
i know im young and all things will come surely .. not rushing< mayb a little lol > just cant help but question certain things
love is a gift ... loving is a privilege .. but to recieve it is just a simple blessing

Take time to figure out who YOU really are and what YOU want. Don't SETTLE for anything less. Love yourself first!

Gosh, I'm totally in love with this. I find it so difficult to relate to a guy who can't even have a conversation. I got to be making up ?'s or dialogue, soooo boring sometimes. I'll be alone till I find someone whose intellect surpasses a cabbage.

And guess what? There are PLENTY guys who feel the same way - Why Can't I find a girl who is FOR REAL and Honest? If after a few dates and phone calls, if you aren't interested it's OK to say "you're not interested, or you're looking for something else, or you want to date other guys. Some of us really can handle it. I agree with Markeith - Take it slow BEFORE you get TOO DEEPLY INVOLVED. I am not bitter about past relationships that went bad, and I take full responsibility for MY part, and I no longer think every one I meet is just like the last one. Black people we MUST keep trying until we find each other because the most powerful force in the universe is BLACK PEOPLE RESPECTING AND LOVING THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER!!!

Right On GT,
It's like this; Two of my very best friends had PROFOUND effects on me.
When friend # 1 introduced me to his wife, he introduced her as "MY LIFE PARTNER" - not his woman, his "old girl" his "old lady" or his wife - HIS LIFE PARTNER!!
One evening friend # 2 and his wife got into a loud screaming, in each other's face type fight. Later while my friend & I was going to the store, he said to me "My brother, on our WORST day, we're still the best of friends" Those two incidents just knocked me out and I realized that I had to Re think a LOT of things and that I had a LOT of work to do (work to do - Isley Brothers) - Now of course when we're together we "appreciate" looking at a beautiful sister, but I have NEVER seen or heard either of these brothers disrespect their families in ANY way! THAT is why they are still two of my very best friends and I RESPECT them highly!

Yeah G.T,
YOU (and your LIFE PARTNER) are some of the lucky (BLESSED) ones!! .... and I KNOW you have to constantly WORK at it, but pretty soon that WORK becomes natural and fun!! I know MY LIFE PARTNER and I are searching for each other - we just haven't met yet - but soon - any day now .......
Peace & Blessings to you & yours!

Listen Shamika,
I am going thru something similar, I just broke up with the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It's kinda complicated, but what i think that you've gotta understand is that you can not try to put a person in the center of your life (sorry if my English is not good enough..), you can not try to be fulfilled by human love as we all tend to fail, I see that you believe in God, so I think that all that should be first in your life, and give you enough hope to let the guys pass by until someone really special comes, but until then take it easy...

peace
