Lesson Learned: I'm not for everyone.

There's a partner at my law firm who is smart, rich, attractive, pushing 40 and still single. Most would consider her a great catch, but for some reason, she's not married, or even dating for that matter. I initially chalked it up to her being too focused on her career to give married life a try and being too set in her ways to open up and date different types of men. However, in a conversation we had yesterday, she told me that she's single and happy. She's single because, as she put it, "I'm not for everyone. And I'm ok with that." Her statement caught me by surprise, but the more I think about it, the more I like it.

We have to realize that some of us are too smart, too strong, too blessed, too anointed, and too favored to be with certain people. It doesn't make us any better than the men we try to date, just different. God made us unique for a reason and we have to realize and embrace the fact that we aren't for just any ol' guy. We are for the equally yoked, strong, supportive, loving, mature brothers of the world. So if you are alone or in an unhappy and unfulfilled relationship, say it proud, "I'm not for everyone" and wait patiently until God is finished making the man for you.

Off My Chest

From a friend...

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I can already smell the turkey, yams, mac and cheese, pies, and sweet tea....with all that food, you'd think I'd be so full. But no, I'm empty. I'm starving and slowly wasting away. I've been relying on your words and your follow through to sustain me. I've been eating off your love and devotion. But all that is so empty. I'm starving because I've eaten all the lies you've fed me. You've lied about it all--the money, the cars, the credentials, the commitment. But you know what, dont blame yourself---I should have broken up with you a long time ago.
