This year was full of promise when it started out. But it has been full of surprises, most of them not very nice one’s. Most of them due to bad decisions. But somehow, we have been able to survive, my angel and i. We have not been overwhelmed, her life (as far as i can tell) has not been disrupted in anyway. This stay at home thing has made us closer than ever. She knows me, and i know her. This bond God willing, will be even stronger as she grows older.

But today is not about her,

Today is about something i read on twitter.

“Women go to amazing lengths for the men they love”.

Key word being MEN. I was shocked at how true that statement is. NOT the PEOPLE or PERSON they love, but the men. Are we so starved for affection and acceptance and love from the opposite sex that we would go to amazing lengths? would these people, even if they loved us, go to equal lengths?

I have a friend who is so quick to judge other people. She’s always so ready with a sharp tongue to chastises when she feels you are doing something stupid, especially when it concerns a guy. But if she’s the one doing it, its strategic. She’ll be heard hollering “I cannot let a man walk all over me” Sometimes i want to smack her on the face.

Nobody, would willingly let themselves be walked on, which means, that those people who we see as being walked on, aren’t actually aware that there mates are taking advantage of them. And is it really our place to shatter their illusions like that? Is it really a kindness we are doing to them when we point out the flows we perceive in there relationships? is it our place to fix things? or judge?

well, i’ve been feeling very melancholic these past few weeks….hope something gives, and soon.
