My head fits so eloquently into the crook beneath your shoulder, it’s as though this space was intentionally left for me, genuine as the shine of my eye, when you inspire my cheeks to lift, and the lengthy sigh when it seems like it’s been far too absent, the only non urgent call I accept at three a.m., the only presence I wait patiently to entreat, always internally aware of your existence, and my unwarranted emotion, and selfish recollections, one more time I have drifted, but I have lingered in this place before, presently aware of the difference, envisioned the possibilities then placed them quietly to rest and walked in the present, pleased by every one of this moment, and those, even the subtle stolen caresses, the belabored breathless hours, hurricane induced asthma attack, dispensed with precise indecision on the next step, of which there is none, the beaten or less taken path is ill equipped to a accommodate this meandering of hearts, and synchronicity of footsteps, hmmm, is this what I’ve been looking for, he seems so, in concert with me, playing the tension from the violin strings of my back, fingertips retune attitude and displace disharmony, no overwhelming symphony, caught between the brass and the horns, tied up in the strings, but simple windblown peace, refreshing water kissed breeze, vanilla lavender buds of ardor, complacent slow stroll of adequate means, undedicated marathon with no end in sight, perhaps it was overlooked, or was not ever created, or exists only in the depravity of our indifference of unstated compassion, ever still I await the instant when you love me with your mind, and caress me with the depth of your spirit, and wonder and dismiss if this is the road to where love sparks and flames ensue, instead sauntering in my soul worn shoes, and enjoy the brilliance of the sunrise, accepting at some point it will set, not seeking visions or directions, just following the ever magnificent heart, my greatest instinct and utmost threat, yet in synch and on time with its unknown destination, somewhere at the bottom of this cliff, but still why wait, my adoration whispered just leap…………

5 Reasons to Leave a ‘Good’ Relationship
So you’re in a relationship. Its going well and you’re both comfortable. But are you the right kind of comfortable. Sometimes good relationships aren’t really that good. If you’ve been contemplating yours here’s some food for thought.
1. You aren’t going in the same direction
Let’s face it, life is a series of destinations. We are always coming and going with some form of goal attached to each step in the journey. Let’s say you have a goal of marriage and your partner isn’t quite sold on the idea of long-term commitment. You can always hold out and hope that changes. You can even step your game up and hope they switch gears. The harsh reality is that often times you are simply spinning your wheels and quite possibly missing out on someone who shares the same desire. Cut your losses and get your shoes.
2. You don’t share the same feelings
You are madly in love, them not so much or vice versa. It happens there is no perfected recipe for falling in love with someone. But whoever you are, you are totally worth someone who loves you back instead of someone who just really likes you. Not to mention when the feelings aren’t shared neither is the effort. Relationships take work; you don’t want to end up run down and feeling unappreciated.
3. You Don’t share the same foundation
Foundation, morals or your fundamental belief system are important. It affects your day to day decisions, how you interact with one another and others. If you have too wide of a gap in what you both believe it can lead to a plethora of issues. You might find yourselves arguing as a result. Disagreeing on how to raise the kids, abortions, daylight savings, if keeping an extra 5 because the cashier miscounted is stealing. Who knows the possibilities are endless when it comes to this category. Protect your peace sis and move on.
4. You know you’re settling
I know dating can get frustrating and on occasion being single can seem like it sucks. It all boils down to your perspective. I mean honestly do you really want to be in a relationship with someone you aren’t that compatible with and might not even like just to avoid being alone? True society makes it seems as though you have fatal flaws when your single, but just hold out you know your worth it. If you don’t know your worth it you need some personal time to figure out you are and why so just don’t do it.
5. You can’t be yourself
The single greatest thing you bring to a relationship is you. All of you the good, the bad, and the all too ugly. What is the purpose of being in a situation where it is acceptable to be anyone but who you are? Someone who loves or cares about you will do so unconditionally. That doesn’t mean they like everything you do. They do, however, like you and who you are at your core. Everyday of your relationship should not feel like your in a new job on probation. If it does just go ahead dust of your resume and quit boo, your assets will be thoroughly valued elsewhere in a new position.
I know, I know dating can be overwhelming. What can I say other than PERSPECTIVE! Lol, have fun with it, each date is an adventure. If you know it isn’t gonna work early cut your losses politely and move forward to the next candidate. It isn’t as dismal as it seems there are tons of single people out there. If you know what you want though you aren’t going to find it sitting at home or wasting away in an okay relationship that has signs of never changing. If you can, by all means work together to correct the things you need to. If you feel like Keisha D, I’m totally happy and content with this. Do you boo boo by all means be blessed. For the rest of you if can’t fix it, fix you and then get up and get back on out there.
