After a while u learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul… And u learn that love doesn’t mean leaning… and company doesnt mean security… And u begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts… and presents aren’t promises… And u begin to accept ur defeats with ur head up… and ur eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child… And u learn to build all ur roads on today… becuz tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans… After a while u learn that even sunshine burns if u get too much… So plant ur garden… and decorate ur own soul… instead of waiting for someone to bring u flowers… And u learn that u really are strong… And u really do have worth…

Nice Guys Only Finish Last If They Run In the Wrong Races

So I’ve had talks with several guy friends over the past few months about the same thing: WOMEN. Well let me be more specific, the lack of “Good women”.

Now of course I could have taken offense by this topic because I consider myself to a good women and to agree with them would only be a slap in the face; but instead I choose to listen.

I listened to their bitter arguments and the reasons were the same; Their kindness had been taken advantage of, and they’d been lied to and/or cheated on. Each told multiple stories about their own experiences and/or stories they heard from friends. But if the reasoning behind their bitterness was a “Trifling B****”, how was it that I was able to relate to their stories? In the end they all would say “I should just be an Asshole, because it seems that “Good girls” like bad boys anyways”

It was time for me to rebuttal, it was time for me to defend my gender but as a “good woman” my story was similar and I found myself agreeing with them. Lets be honest there are some horrible females out there. BUT there are a few good ones left. Just like there are a few good men. And I for one don’t want to see my good guy friends became assholes because of the way some female treated them. I came to the conclusion that: we finish last because we choose to run in the wrong races.

If we took the time to find the right race to run in we wouldnt be trying to play catch up with some “fast” female or nigga. We can’t keep being attracted to the same type of person because of their look or attitude and expect different results!!! We have to find someone who we can run side by side with, someone who runs at the same pace we do.

A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs.

A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.

A good woman has a dash of inspiration & a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them. A good woman knows her past, understands her present, and moves toward the future.

A good woman knows God. She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played. A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past. Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons meant to bring her closer to self-knowledge & unconditional self-love.
