Today I sat down with messy hair, sweat pants, while cooking myself a dinner for one. To create a dinner I like to pretend I set for two. But two only exists in my mind.
I tried not to be disturbed, I began to sit down on the couch to turn on a chick flick. This corny, cheesy, unrealistic chick flick, began to set in my mind. Is this what everybody expects? Good looking attractive people who sit there and can instantly feel happy because that person makes them who they are for the better?
Well, I am sorry, but right than & there, it clicked. My friends are who make me who I am. They see me fall in and out of love, they share my laughter, they know when I am at my worst, & most of all they accept me even more than my family.
Yes, love is real. But people, our society, has torn to create something that more attention than anything. I log on to Facebook, and all I see is photos, tags, & comments dedicated to show the whole world your dating this particular person, and if lost, you feel the need to delete your facebook or disappear. There no privacy in the social media world, and people everyday are trying to keep up with being what everyone expects you to be.
This very day, I had the cleaning lady at my work stopped to tell me I was wearing a beautiful color of lipstick. Before I could thank her, she told me "Your so pretty, I pray you get a boyfriend soon." I was mortified. You pray? You pray for me? I shrugged my shoulders and said, "they're hiding." The truth was, is this what were brought up to believe? To fall in love and pray for others who don't? Fools.
A person's touch can be the most amazing thing you will ever discovered. A person simple words will sometimes be the sweetest things to listen to. Knowing that there someone with a smile & thinking of you, is a wonderful gift. But we don't need to rush. We don't need to fall in this cookie cutter mindset what everyone else thinks we should do at that moment.
We all get chances in life. We have all felt beauty. But realize, past or present you felt more things than most people in this world.
I realize, complications will happen. Things will happen. But, my friends are greater than a chick flick. They are all beautiful in my eyes. They say the most corniest things, that makes me shout out in laughter. The adventures of drama will always strive, but in the climax, we thank God our paths crossed in life.
So, you haven't found what your looking for? I think your friends will give you a clue.
