I Love You

I love you.

What do those 3 words mean to you?

To me it means, that someone is there for me, through the trials, tribulations, and exciting jubilant moments of my life. It doesn't have to be a soul mate, or a person of the opposite sex, it is a person that genuinely means they love you, and they know that you are human with faults and they accept the person that you are. They do not try to shape and mold you into the person they want you to become. Thats what "I love you" means to me...

Often we will find people that don't know what it means. They throw the word around willy nilly to any and everyone that comes into their life, but they don't really mean it...what they mean is that they love them, with conditions. Ahhh another question...

Is love conditional? Or are their stipulations to your love?

While the love of your children is unconditional, I have been told that people love conditionally, I love you, but you need to loose weight. I love you, but you need to find another job, make more money, get better educated...etc...is this true? The sad part is, its true. Especially as we get older, folks get more picky and conflicted over what it is they want and don't want. I find this equally in men and women...we all want love, but we all have some sort of condition to it...my condition, he has work and be educated. I'm sorry, but something about an educated man turns me on!

I'm interested in how you all feel about love and the conditions attached to it...

Love to me is having a man that cares for me and believes in my. I think it is important to believe in the person that you are with. The two must also share in each others dreams, and encourage one another to do well...if you have love, then surely success, happiness, and wealth will follow...

Sass,
I really don't believe in my heart that LOVE has any conditions. Now LIKE on the other hand comes with a myriad of conditions in my opinion!

Websters definition of Love:

Emotion of affection, be devoted to,cherish.

I can tell you that I LOVE a whole lot of folk for real especially my Kinfolk & Life long Peeps. But I can tell you without a shodow of a doubt that I don't like all of them! LOVE will tell me who to draw close to and who to distance myself from. Who to help out and who to cut off! Who to cry with and who to show empathy towards. LOVE will give you wisdom beyond your understanding. I think we all get ourselves jacked up when we don't believe in LOVE because sometimes it hurts to follow the (directions) that LOVE will give us. Trust me when I say that LOVE will NEVER lead us wrong! Now that "LIKE" thing can trip us up more times than not! LIKE will have us chasing after something that isn't there! LIKE will make us suffer unnecessarily over bad relationships. LIKE will often choose the wrong friends or associates, etc. The thing is to try to know the difference between the two as much as possible and appreciate them BOTH at the same time..

Peace & Love,

Online Dating

When I first got my computer, I used to sit up and chat all night long with numerous people from across the globe. As I got bolder, I actually met some of these individuals that I had chatted with online. The one commonality I found was that they all lied about something...that was in 2002. Today, I am a member of three online dating services {I'm a free member to them so communication is limited} anyway, three years later I am finding the same thing...that they all lie for some reason or another. Now my girlz feel that I am crazy to not only talk to these freaks I meet online but to actually meet them. And I am beginning to realize that they are right...I am crazy or are they crazy? I'm crazy because I genuinely want a relationship, and I am finding out the reason why some of these men are still single and that is....drum roll please--- They don't say what they mean and mean what they say! That goes for the women as well! Now I know life happens and you had a life before ...

Relationship Deal Breakers

We all know folks out here tolerating alot of unnecessary bullshyt from their significant other...I sit back and look at them, saying to myself "Girl, you are good, because I wouldn't put up with that bullshyt," but you know what, someone will. Or is it more like someone has to? How many times have we heard that what one woman/man won't do another will? Too many times to count, right. But does that saying make situations right? I mean when someone does something that you don't like...betrays a trust, a confidence, cheats, steals, or lies etc...what makes some people forgive---over and over and over and over...how many times does a person get a second chance? Don't get me wrong, I feel that sometimes people make honest mistakes...but to continue to repeat the same mistake is not a mistake...its a problem, that obviously the person cannot fix on their own. When I think of deal breakers, I think like this... Cheating Cheating and the person gets pregnant Cheating...
