I'm at the point in my life ......

Where I don't expect too much from people anymore.

If you dont want to be in my life, I will not stop you. If unfriending me makes you happy, please....do just that.

If the efforts I make do not get reciprocated, that’s perfectly fine.

If you can’t equate my love for you, I will respect that. If you do not like me, I can accept that.

It takes maturity to reach this point. It takes self-love to be on this level. It is just that it is too tiring to please people. It is so tiring to beg for people to be a part of your life. It is pointless to force someone to be on the same page with you.

I am at the point in my life where if you stay, you’re mine, and if you are not, then I let go. It is too tiring to keep on forcing things to happen. It is too painful to see your efforts getting unnoticed. It is not worth it to beg for someone just to let them see how much you love them. It is not worth chasing people because you deserve better.

It is too unnecessary to force friendships. It is too tiring to make reconciliation for people who do not deserve it. Do not regret anything, especially if you made efforts to make it work in the past.

Focus on your life. Focus on people who love you. Embrace change. After all, that is the only thing constant in this world.

Take my advice and surround yourself with people who truly want the best for you and your mental health.

Because your circle ...... it matters.

I'm going to say this once.

Never get into a serious relationship until you're finished being single.

Never invite someone into your life if you don't have the space for them in your life to begin with.

Never open up a person's heart with no intention on catching them when they fall in love with you.

There are good genuine people in the dating world right now willing to give everything they are to have a stable and healthy relationship with someone they have longed for ever since they can remember.

Take my advice and if you're not ready to step up to the plate, take your hands off another person's future.

The other day while at the gas station I overheard a lady in her late 20's telling 2 other men to leave her alone so I decided to walk over to them and I asked her " how was the meeting today darlin? " she looked at me and said " it was good, I'll tell you more about it when we get home in a few ". I replied with " wonderful I'll pick up your favorite for dinner".

The two guys left in a hurry and she told me " you have no idea how much that meant to me .... thank you." I said "you're very welcome ma'am .... you can never be too careful. "

I made sure the guys left before I walked back to my car and as I was walking back all I could do was think " I hope a man does that for my future daughter one day".

You're gonna miss her.

You're gonna miss her when it’s 2:30 in the morning and you wake up from a bad dream, and she’s no longer there.

You're gonna miss her when you are no longer getting the random text messages telling you she loves you.

You're gonna miss her when you’ve had a bad day at work, and no one will listen to you talk about it like she did.

You're gonna miss her when you see her laughing with her friends, knowing you’re no longer the reason she has that smile on her face.

You're gonna miss her when it’s cold at night and the only things you have next to you is your phone and a few tangled sheets.

You're gonna miss her when you wanna cry and be in her arms again, but she doesn’t even glance at you when she passes by you on the street.

You're gonna miss her when you see her dancing and you’ll remember all the times she wanted to dance with you and you told her no.

You're gonna miss her when you find yourself talking about her all the time, and you’re not even on her mind anymore.

You're gonna miss her when the alcohol doesn’t get rid of the thoughts of her smiling in the moonlight on a cool winter night.

You're gonna miss her when she doesn’t answer your messages or phone calls anymore.

You're gonna miss her when you realize no one genuinely cared for you as much as she did.

You're gonna miss her when you go to reach for her hand and it’s no longer there.

You're gonna miss her when she doesn’t send you selfies and videos of her being goofy anymore.

You will miss her late at night when you’re laying there alone and you realise you have no one to talk to.

You're gonna miss her laughing that cute little laugh of hers that could stop and warm up anyone's heart having a bad day.

You're gonna miss it all.

But by the time you realise how much you miss and cared about her more than you’ve ever cared about anything, it will be too late.

She will be in the arms of another, giving them the love she gave to you.

She will be sharing that laugh with them and putting her soft lips on theirs.

She will be cradled in another’s arms
having new “our songs” with them and experiencing new places together.

That is when it’ll hit you the absolute hardest, when this beautiful once in a lifetime girl with the heart of gold is long gone.

So take my advice and remember.... to take care of her, because life doesn't bless you with a good woman twice.

One evening as I was heading to my car after doing a little shopping I noticed a lady that seemed pretty upset on her phone while looking at the front tire of her car.

As any decent person would do, I walked up to her and I noticed 3 young children in the car so I knew I needed to act fast since it was a little chilly that evening, I proceeded to ask if she needed some help and she said "yes sir that would be great".

I opened her trunk and to my astonishment, she had a spare tire but no jack to lift the car up with .... so since we were at walmart, I went and purchased a jack to change the tire on her car.

After about an hour, she and the 3 young children were on thier merry way.

My phone rang as soon as I got back in my car and a child I mentor called me to tell me about his day at school and he asked "what are you doing?" I told him "I was helping a lady with her car".

He replied with "why?"

I responded "You're never too important to be nice to people".

Stop leaving your kids with them.

Stop leaving your children with your boyfriends you barely know.

Stop letting your family members you don't entirely trust watch them because it's free.

If you have a gut feeling about someone that doesn't sit right with you when it comes to your child, cut all ties with this person.

If your little one comes to you and says I don't want to stay with a particular person .... do me a favor and listen to them.

You want my password?

Let's make my password your birthday so you will always remember it.

You want to go through my phone.

You're more than welcome to because you will see I hurt other women's feelings to protect yours.

You want to stay in and cuddle instead of going out.

I'll cook you dinner before we watch your favorite movie.

You're not comfortable with me talking to this person.

I'll never talk to them again.

I'll respect you and stay faithful to you with every single day that passes but I expect the same in return.

Wait for someone who isn't afraid to admit that they miss you.

Who knows, you aren't perfect but treats you as if you're the most perfect person person to ever walk the face of this earth.

Someone who doesn't believe in leaving and giving up because they want to spend an eternity with you.

Who's biggest fear is losing you, and when they tell you " I love you," they mean it with every ounce of their heart and soul.

Single on Valentine's Day.

Being single on Valentine's day can still be a struggle at times.

Sometimes it's hard to wrap your mind around the fact that you still do not have someone special in your life at this very moment.

People you thought were going to be the good options, turned out to be no good at all.

Then you have days when you wake up and check your phone and all you do is wake up to everyone else's good news on social media.

People you went to school with are getting engaged today, announcing that they are pregnant or just put a down payment on their dream home.

And while you have the grace to help celebrate everyone else's special moments, you still can't help but wonder...... when those same moments will begin to take place in your own life....

What alot of people dont understand is that.... it's just not your season to be in love with anyone just yet.

So do me a favor and continue growing and developing as a person, because you never know how close you are.... for your season to be next.

This is the reason why millions of people all over the world read my articles every week.

Most of you that religiously follow me know what kind of person I am but you never know how I became this way.

To be honest with you ... it was because of my father.

Growing up my father was raised by his grandparents and my father was the one who raised me, so when I say I was born in the wrong generation in my articles its because I was essentially raised from generations back.

You wouldn't believe how many heartfelt messages I receive on a daily basis telling me thank you for giving them the strength to walk away from an abusive relationship that lasted for an unfortunate number of years.

The reason why so many people all over the world have found their worth and walked away is because of this man right here.

He has not only changed my life but he has changed thousands of lives all over the world and he is the reason I am who I am in this generation.

I love you Dad.

The truth is.

A genuine connection is extremely rare to find this day and age, but you will realize when you finally experience such an amazing anomaly.

It will feel like you are discovering the shadow of your own heart in another human being.

Slowly, through surrounding yourself with the right people, you will come to realize that the people who are meant for you in this world will not exhaust you, or hollow you out, or leave you feeling like you are hard to love.

You will come to realize that you do not have to romanticize the things in this life that hurt.
Slowly, you will learn how to lay down your arms. How to walk away from those who will only ever love you in halves.

Slowly, you will learn that you cannot love someone into loving you, or being ready, if they are not. You cannot love someone into their potential.

You cannot close their hands around your heart if they are not willing to hold it themselves. You have to let them go.

You have to focus on the people in your life who bring you back home to yourself. You have to focus on standing up for that kind of connection, and honoring that calm. ........ because it does exist.

And I hope you learn to trust that, because when you come across it, when you ultimately experience it, it feels as if you are standing at a door you finally have the keys for.

There is no fumbling through your jacket pocket trying to find the right way in. There is no desperately reaching into your bag trying to uncover the point of access. You are no longer banging your fists against the door, asking to be invited in.

You walk through. Soundlessly and Softly. And the sense of relief you have never felt before flourishes through you while you take a deep breath and exhale with pure happiness.

You're finally home.

If I'm dating you I will only have eyes for you.

That is the difference between love and lust.

When I genuinely love someone I will not see other people as potential candidates.

My heart is closed for them.

Don't like snapchat...... It's gone.

You want someone deleted off social media...... I'll do better and block them.

You don't feel comfortable with me doing that ..... I'll never do it again

You need my help with something.... I'll drop whatever I'm doing and I'm on my way.

It's not about controlling someone, it's about respecting the person you're in a relationship with.

I will never choose an app over a person I see a future with.

I wish I would have known this Years Ago.

Not everyone is going to like you.

Not everyone is going to acknowledge your presence.

Always be kind to others, no matter the situation.

If you constantly feel like youre walking on eggshells around them, they’re not your type of people.

You get to choose the people you surround yourself with, so choose the ones who are choosing you back.

Never make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.

Someone's effort is their direct reflection of interest in you.

Never punish the one in front of you for the mistakes made by the one behind you.

Always listen to the person you're in a relationship with.

Remember ... having high standards keep you from having low quality experiences.

If your absence doesn't affect them then your presence never mattered.

The longer you entertain what's not meant for you, the longer you postpone what is.

Always do for others and never expect anything in return.

Friendship is one of the most important things you can invest in in life. Make the time.

Love didn't hurt you. Someone who doesn't know how to love hurt you. Don't confuse the two.

When your light starts exposing other people's shadows, they might try to convince you that your radiance is toxic, especially if they lack emotional maturity. Love yourself and keep shining.

Take my advice and always remember.... to surround yourself with people who truly want the best for you and your mental health.

Your circle ..... it matters.
