Growth is the only evidence of life.
If “growth is the only evidence of life”, I have to ask if some of us are even living? I hear so many people talk about change and growing wiser but I don’t see it. Given a few months, weeks, or DAYS (for some) and these same metamorphosis-tic people are exactly how they were before they built their cocoon in plans to becoming this beautiful butterfly. They are EXACTLY the same before they allowed all that foolery to part from their lips about change.
It’s evident that some of us would rather attempt to find the good in people. I’ve been guilty of that. I’ve been guilty of that which only left me heartbroken in the end; but, that was a lesson that I am truly thankful for. As a result, I can see if there is a will that one possesses to want to better themselves instead of always explaining how they’re going to change, but continue to behave in the same matter.
Who am I talking about?
I’m talking about these “strong” women that believe they are strong and mighty because they are remaining in a situation ignoring “the hatas” and standing on love. When you’re the only one in love, holding on to the relationship by yourself, that’s merely a sign of weakness. NOT STRENGTH.
I’m talking about all these “true providers” of the home that are “handlin’ mi biz cuz Imma real man” males that deny their children everytime they impregnate a female only to enjoy instant satisfaction at that very moment. You know the ones that claim they only have two kids even though there’s another pregnant chick? Yep, those!
I’m talking about these women that feel it is necessary to judge and criticize other women about “wantin’ my man” because they are insecure about the relationship themselves. They ignore the fact that their guy can’t be a prize catch if he’s throwing it to everybody. Please STOP looking past the elephant in the room.
I’m talking about these men that are so apologetic because ever since you’ve known them, they’ve been apologizing for EVERYTHING that they’ve done to you. They’re sorry for lieing. They’re sorry for cheating. They’re sorry for getting another prepaid phone so you won’t find out they’re STILL cheating. They’re sorry for calling you every name but your name. They’re sorry for hitting you. They’re sorry for almost killing you. They’re sorry for this, they’re sorry for that. NEWSFLASH! They’re just sorry!
I’m talking about these people that always want to change their life for the better but never take the first step. Get Walking Already!
Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.
With that being said, all of those that have wronged me, apologized for it, and STILL attempt to break me, are as ugly as I remember them. And to think, this philosophical moment was caused by 13 text messages and 24 missed calls throughout the night by my ex’s other cell phone. #EPICFAIL
