"History repeats itself," we're told. But I don't want that. I want my story to be linear, not cyclical.
Last night, I was introduced to "Mama Crash." Now, mind you, this is probably one of the most ridiculous characters you will ever find. It's basically my friend Crash pretending to be a sage, old black woman. And not only this, this big, burly man gets people to sit on his lap while speaking to them like this and giving advice in the 3rd person. Highly amusing. Great times.
Anyway, I carrying on with the little show, asked "Mama Crash" what a girl is to do when she wants to settle down? And interestingly enough, "she" said, "Now why would a girl want to go and do that? A housewife is an eternal ho, just to one person." And I have to say, it cracked me up quite a bit. Granted, while the last part is humorous, I had to take notice of the initial question.
NOW WHY WOULD A GIRL WANT TO GO AND DO THAT?
I think this is a good question for me. Why am I suddenly getting the urge to "settle down"? And am I necessarily wanting to "settle down" or just have a significant other? And honestly, I think I'm leaning toward the latter. I think I'm ready for a boyfriend. I've been making "good choices" lately, being a bit more picky about who I pay attention to or spend my time with. And I think that's a good sign.
I'm getting my spine back and yeah... sorry, that's really all I've got here.
Again, I think I'm ready. I think it's time to really start looking. And honestly, when I say looking, I don't mean in an aggressive sense. I've done that whole empowerment-I'm-going-to-talk-to-you-first thing, and it's great. But it doesn't attract the kind of men that I want to have a long-term relationship with. So, when I say looking, I mean keeping my eyes open to possibilities and opportunities. I'm not going to let a good guy pass me by. :)
