As a woman old enough to be your Mother, I can only say how I wish I had learned some of Life's lessons as well as you have at such a tender age as yours. I guess it was my willingness to endure the showers of pebbles until that boulder finally landed that prolonged my learning curve. Your writing style is refreshing. I'll be back to read more. Bless Up, Lady Roots Sistren 1969,

I have always been a "well it's different with .....(____fill in the blank____) "whether it be people, men I was dating,situations.... whatever....I I just never wanted to believe the bad was THAT bad. Denial is not a river in Egypt. These days I believe it if a trusted source says it's so for the most part! LOL I have gained the MOST knowledge by being kicked in the head because I am the one who you tell "don't touch the stove dummy" and I would say "well....it might not be THAT hot...lemme see... OH *S&#^#!!!!!... I burned myself!" I have a girlfriend who is like that. Stubborn. Can't tell her JACK and guess what...sooner than she knows it, life is gonna "kick her in the head... AND THE ARSE"....but I guess I can't talk! LOL (but I wish she would listen to me and her other friends.....) Yup... that be me. I have learned and I have paid and you never know the sunshine's value until you see the rain, but I am turning 38 in a month and some and I too feel that the older I have become... the ABSOLUTELY less tolerance for bs I have.
