TIME In 2012, I met a beautiful lady and instantly took a liking to her. I fell in love with her soul and told myself I’d give myself time to get to know her. It had hardly been two weeks of knowing each other when I started spending almost everyday with her. We sometimes spent 14 hours of each day together, talking, doing life and talking. We never wasted time chatting. We spoke to each other - we talked. Before then, I’d never laid my soul bare to someone else. With zero physics intimacy and all that soul mating, it wasn’t long before I told her about my previous relationships. I told her about the one time I forged a girl’s handwriting and did an assignment for her. Yes, I know, I took all that time to pay attention to how the object of my affection and attention wrote. Her face lit up, she turned, looked at me and said “Wow, so when you fall in love, you fall really hard and..” “Land with the head first” we said, laughing. At the time, I couldn’t articulate why I did and still do things when I’m smitten. Now is just as good a time to say this as it would have those many years ago. My idea of commitment far transcends the absence of infidelity. Faithfulness is more than just keeping my lips to myself and my pants zipped up. My commitment is a bold statement. It orders me to shift and rearrange my life and habits to; identify with and accommodate, support the life goals, dreams and ambitions, and do whatever I can to make our individual lives - and most importantly our life together - better than before. If you want to be a fitness model, I’m adding fitness to my list of things to accomplish, and subsequently changing my (our) diet to fit your (our) goal. I expect that from myself and the object of my affection in a relationship. You need not be caught sweating in another man’s bed to have me call you unfaithful. If you dishonor my time by being inconsistent with what we’re doing, sabotage our efforts by having more cheat days that... you get the point The countdown to the demise of our union begins, and every second is a second chance. Change, value me, my efforts and MY TIME. #watchwhereyouwalk #timepieces (at Tsolo, Eastern Cape, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B57tD0VjurE/?igshid=ezagx6xgp7re
