it's time to get back on my grind. and i'm OFFICIALLY on it as of now~

...i'm still trying to figure it out. truth be told i'm not sure i know how to love a man anymore. i'm good at loving family and friends. i think i'm even pretty good at loving myself (most of the time, but we all have our days). but when it comes to "loving" a partner in love, i'm not so sure. i don't know about y'all but in my book "love" is a verb, an action word and it also serves a mirror. what i mean by that is "love" is more than an emotion that you "fall" in and out of. it's WORK. it's a commitment. it's TRUST and we have to have faith to STAND firmly in it.

for xmas, my father gave me old pictures of he and my mother back in the days when things were cool. they were young, happy and in love. now, they are happily divorced and married to other people. when i talked to my mom about it briefly and the fact that me and most of the sistahs i know seem to be perpetually single, her advice was to work at it because marriage is mostly WORK: another action word. my father also gave me a ring for my daughter that looks a lot like a wedding band. he wants me to wear it until my daughter's old enough for it. my mom thinks he ment to give it to me. now, i look at the ring on my ring finger and see a space now occupied by a ring i hoped would be given to me by my husband some day. is it sad that i think this ring that my father gave me will probably be the only one i ever get from a man?

the purpose of love is: to grow, to teach faith and trust, to bring joy and happiness, to make life worth living, companionship, partnership, to know that someone in this world chooses to "get" you and your idiosyncrasies, to make you feel special and wanted, to take care of you and know that you have someone to take care of. the purpose of love is bigger than our egos, wants, passions and desires. the true purpose of love is divine and plentiful and i'm not settling for anything less.

"Keep your skirts down and your panties up ladies!"
"Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

so, we put ourselves out there and free up the vibe. willing to, again, put our hearts and bodies and souls and families and friends and homes and money and time and energy and joy etc. on the line. again, hoping to build a solid foundation with another heart and body and soul and family and friend and home and money and time and energy and joy etc. hope is not a bad thing: it's the illusion that you should completely sacrifice what you know is your joy to keep hope alive that is a tad bit on the negative side in my opinion.

now, i'm not saying there's no pain in love. what i'm saying is that there is ALWAYS pain in growth. and real love grows and expands to accommodate ALL people involved. nothing i know about true love is static: it's always in motion, going with the flow yet staying in-tact, like a river flowing back to the ocean. and some of us have had very few true love experiences, which i define as being where the other person wants you to be in their lives, period. and everyone in the relationship works to make that love exist always.

trust and faith: two essential components in ANY type of relationship. it takes an insurmountable amount of balls to have complete trust and faith in your own path and destiny, let alone someone elses. and that trust is not won esily although we usually give faith away relatively easy. i don't know. a lot of trust issues are internal but we exist in a world with other people, so as hard as some of us claim to be hard we get hurt too. basically this is just what's going on in my head. but i'll leave it like this for now: have complete trust and faith in your destiny and everything else (not in your control anyway) will come to pass~
