The screenshots I am about to share came across my timeline some time ago and they really resonated with me. In my dating journey I have made a few poor choices, which I will share eventually. These choices were so indicative of how I felt about myself that it has made me reflect. I cringe at the thought of the guys I have aligned with- The guy that treated me like some low rate chick, but I was always available to him. The guy that I thought was the best thing since sliced bread that, in true “pick-me” form I tried to show myself worthy while totally missing that he was not into me. The complete loser that I thought I had to be nice to and for a moment thought that was the best I could do. ETC ETC ETC.
I try not to make celebrities a standard but this was too good to NOT share. The most important lesson I have learned on this journey is that I it all starts with me- from how I present myself, what I believe I am worth AND who I choose.
Below a fan asked Nicole Ari Parker what prayer she said to get with her husband Boris Kodjoe. If you don’t know, this man is totally hot and appears to be an awesome catch. Haven’t we said that prayer? God please send me a good man especially after a few epic failures. It’s hard to not turn it on to yourself and make it your fault. I am the broken one. The truth is ... what if it is me?
I am the one that settled for less. I am the one so obsessed with having a man that I will take on anything just to say I have something. What makes me so awesome? Will this amazing man recognize me and see me as a match in my current state- someone who has not been the best to me? Such are my current thoughts.
