Dating Lessons

1.Do not compliment a man too soon or too frequently because then your role is ego feeder and the ego is ruthless when it is not being feed.

2.If you at any point within the first three date get a gut feeling or run into any minor issue with a man you are talking to, do not proceed! Most likely you will only run into more issues later but now you’ll be too emotionally invested to easily leave. The beginning should feel like a fairytale and I stand by this!!

3.When his words do not match his actions, immediately remove yourself.

4.He can be a good man and still not be a good man for you. Learn that thing don’t have to be bad for you to decide it isn’t for you.

5. Leave before you are left.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was studying.

Not men. Not motherhood. Not relationships.

I was studying myself.

Every name I wrote down every list of likes and dislikes every red flag circled in ink was a lesson.

I was learning what peace felt like and what chaos looked like even when it was dressed up as love.

I wrote things that sounded harsh especially to my daughter because I was tired and scared and still healing.

I didn’t have the right words yet. I only had boundaries.

Writing became my outlet when my voice felt too heavy to speak.

If I couldn’t fix it if I couldn’t change it if I couldn’t understand it

I put it on paper.

Some of the poems were mine. Some of them belonged to someone else. But all of them carried my truth.

I was not being dramatic. I was documenting.

Documenting the moment I decided I would never settle again.

Not for half love not for empty promises not for people who showed up only when it was convenient.

I was building standards. I was building strength. I was building a life.

And now, when I look back at those pages, I don’t see mistakes.

I see a woman learning growing and refusing to give up on herself.

Friendzone?

You can't tell me, "You're the one who got away," if you never asked me out.

Guys: Man up and ask the girl out. She's waiting. And soon it'll be too late.

The Guy Who Got Too Serious Too Fast, Part Deux

If we haven't met yet, I do not want a "Good morning beautiful" text from you. And I can guarantee I was not actually in his thoughts that morning. We know when you're just throwing out a line. And don't ask pointless questions. You don't really want to know what I'm having for lunch.
