I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T
Do you know what that means?
She got her own house
She got her own car
Two jobs, work hard
She a bad broad
Do you know what ELSE that means?!?
It means that I AM MFN TIRED!!!
I ain't got two jobs.....One is quite enough!! But everything else makes me qualify for this title. Thus, I feel it is my duty to clear up a few things for the world:
#1. I am independent because I HAVE to be.... Not ‘cause I wanna be. Life is not free and this is not the 1950s. I like nice stuff!! I wanna go nice places!! And I don't wanna be in my momma's basement any more than you do!! Now I could wait until I tied the knot and actually had someone to BUILD a life with..... But seeing as how a lot of men seem to sow their royal oats till about 33ish....Or 40ish depending on your town's male to female ratio....I need to keep it moving until the love of my life buys a clue and wants what I want at the same time I want it. Until then, one monkey don't stop no show....
#2. Ne-Yo....Webbie . ..WHOEVER!!! I don't care how many songs you write paying us homage and singing our praises.... Y'all still ain't picking us! Why? ‘Cause men tend to date down. Not good or bad.... It's society. ((God knows I'm trying to date up.... Or at least equal!!)) You date that chick that makes you feel like a man.....that chick you can provide for and protect and get your testosterone levels all up for....
#3.....and I get it!! Really I do! But what you can't continue to do is prejudge me(us) because you see me(us) living and doing me(us). EVERY WOMAN WANTS HER MAN TO BE A MAN. She's lying if she tells you different. If you're reading this and you're a guy I've dated or liked... And I came off as “Ms. Don't-Want-No-Man-Don't-Need-No-Man” to you.....My bad dude!!! You shoulda gave me half a chance and let me tell you who I am instead of assuming. Trust....I know a lot of mis-labled Ms. Independents who would gladly turn off the switch if we knew how. Otherwise, we're forced to assume the problem is you and your insecurities. But that's a different blog for a different day......
((Just in case you’re wondering who I be… Check out Proverbs 31. I am that chick....))
To the for real Ms. Independents.... Quit lying! You're making it hard for the rest of us......
To my beautiful men who I really, really do love oh so much..... Don't confuse "Ms. Independent's" not needing your materials with her not needing YOU..... Because she does.
She just needs you differently.......
