I’m going through a dry spell.
Life has been soooo emotionally hectic the past month and a half that just sitting around and doing nothing is wonderful.
I was listening to my favorite radio show this morning and they had a straw/berry. letter on there written by a 23 yr old college student, with her own car and apartment but what she wanted was a man! She also said that she feels that she should be ‘found’ not that she should go out and find.
First, Sh.irl.ey answered by saying that you have to make yourself available. Dress nicer and put yourself in their line of sight because men are hunters. She went on to mention how Ruth went to Boaz and Esther became Queen. I did agree but there’s a fine line between chasing and being available….when have you gone too far?
Then S.t.ev.e answered by saying what da hell you worryin about. You 23 yrs old! Get yo life together before you worry about finding a man. Because if you find the wrong man, you could wind up with situations you can’t handle like unexpected pregnancy etc. He told her “your life is good! You free!” lol “Focus on what you want to do in life…focus on your goals.”
Now, I agree with both viewpoints. Neither is wrong but where do you find the balance. The majority of women want to have that special someone, a person who makes waking up in the morning, that much better. But we women must also rely on ourselves. Tap into that God given strength to achieve, live and thrive.
I guess what I’m asking is “how do you surpress that ‘extra’ womanly side inorder to handle your business?” I mean, wouldn’t you become hardened toward love? Doesn’t basically “buck up and handle yours” entail putting up a mini fence around your heart to keep out the foolishness?
I don’t know, just thought I’d throw some things out there.
I was listening to Jilly’s last CD (new joint out Sept 25th!) and rolled up on this hidden track:
Still Here - J.i!! S.
I am a boisterous river
I am a mountains story
I am a quiet feeling
I am a fragrant flower
I am a moonlit evening
I am a peaceful night
I am a writers thinking
I am a wealth unfathomed
And if you don’t recognize my presence, I am here
And if you don’t recognize me, I am here
I am a source of power
I am excited journey
I am the rock of patience
I am a whisper singing
I am unbridled freedom
I am the thought from thinking
I am a love unshattered
I am the great orgasm
And if you don’t recognize my presence, I am here
And if you don’t recognize my presence, I am here
And even if you don’t recognize me, I‘m still here
And even if you don’t recognize me
And even if you don’t recognize me, I‘m still here
And even if you don’t recognize me, I am, oh, I’m still here
Even if you don’t recognize me, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here
Serenity
