Good to see that somebody can actually take the time to consider who, what and where they are in their life.<BR/><BR/>Today I can only tell you this. Forget about being at that crossroads you mentioned. It ain't worth all the thinking about it. Just dive in and get that girl in your life.

And as a brotha grows in that self awareness, you will better understand why you feel what you feel and why you behave as you behave. <BR/><BR/>Trust in that understanding then gives you my brotha, the great opportunity and freedom to change those things you’d like to change about yourself and create the life you've always wanted and most definitely deserve. <BR/><BR/>Without fully knowing who you are, self acceptance and change become impossible. Kudos on the patience man.

WE just don't think time will ever catch up to us. I know as a younger man I did a lot of stuff that has broken me down big time, and I have ten years on you.<BR/><BR/>But as things are we can't go back again. And woulda, shoulda, coulda, isn't even a good consolation prize. So we now play the hand we are dealt.<BR/><BR/>On another note, when it comes to women, I often feel as though I personally have little to offer. It's just the way it is, especially for the "seasoned" among us. I often look around and ask myself, "What da hell is this, and how in the fuck did I get here?" After all, when I was younger, my life was going to be a lot different than it is right now. <BR/><BR/>But it is what it is, as they say, and it's all I have to work with right now. So, I hang on to my old military standard: <BR/><BR/>"Maximum utilization of available resources." <BR/><BR/>When I ain't got it, I gotta find a way to work it out with what I got.<BR/><BR/>Easily said by the way, difficult to do. But I remind myself, isn't that what African-American women have been doing for years?<BR/><BR/>But that's another subject all together.Bananashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176853633460981781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12869083.post-76238217225415002602007-05-07T15:54:00.000-05:002007-05-07T15:54:00.000-05:00a lil chuckle leads to a lil laughter.

The singular route isnt the only route. sharing big losses with someone can amplify sharing the big wins with them as well...T. S.

Funny thing just when we decide to let go of something things even greater happen. <BR/><BR/>I am on that self-discovery, recovery road and it is rocky right now. I do believe that we don't have to be completely put together to find Love and a good relationship. It is all in the timing.Shaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049949734768494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12869083.post-50823045631102136732007-05-07T14:29:00.000-05:002007-05-07T14:29:00.000-05:00i think it's admirable to want to wait until you s...i think it's admirable to want to wait until you sort out your issues to find a mate. i can tell you from experience sometimes that works. in my case it didn't work for me. my bf and i have experienced craziness together and apart. it seems we like being crazy together. <BR/><BR/>but i do love the fact that you're taking care of yourself. keep it up.aquababiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314061301430547812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12869083.post-561013539196688012007-05-07T10:36:00.000-05:002007-05-07T10:36:00.000-05:00Yay...a chuckle.

I've been in Jersey for a year, the Bronx for two years, Harlem for two years, Queens for ten (stayed there for a bit but moved around six times in those ten years) and I grew up in Bed-stuy. My friends think I'm crazy...what can I say...I like to move.<BR/><BR/>I thought once I bought the condo, I would sit still but nope...I'm ready to rent this bad boy out and move again.<BR/><BR/>I have issues - I know...ha!<BR/><BR/>Anwayz...continue to hang in there!!Jazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186973972482369982noreply@blogger.com
