he luvs me
he loves me not
he luvs me
he loves me not
but he luvs me…

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.
George Eliot

Pretty Girl

she was a pretty girl
smart, intelligent
they all loved her.
her only problem was that she was too nice
didn't know how to say NO
how to put her foot down,
allowed herself to be manipulated and used
used by others who she thought loved her the same
invested time and energy
time spent wiping up tears and trying to fix mistakes
Pretty Girl open up your eyes
if he don't love you by now he never will
what you crying for?
pack up your bags and go
love yourself
so she dropped Mr. Wrong and ran off into the sunset with the next guy
Pretty Girl found herself a catch
he was sweet, funny and made her smile
she let herself get caught up
tangled in his web of "I LOVE YOUs"
and when he kissed her gently and said those words
i mean THOSE words
she forgot who she was and lost her mind
she remembered that she was a pretty girl again
she let him slip and slide
slip and slide
slip inside
ohhh
she's just a pretty girl
but what are you really doing girl?
oh what, you said you're having a girl?
wasn't what you were expecting
cause now Pretty Girl is expecting
in a few months
tears run down her face
as she tries to understand where she went wrong
again
can't believe this is really happening
she sighs
he sighs
no one is ready for this
she's not stable
he doesn't love her
and so she cries
cause she's just a pretty girl
misunderstood
and misused

Lotus Flower Bomb

As usual, I'm about a few weeks late when it comes to music but I just heard Wale's Lotus Flower Bomb. And I absolutely LOVE it! Nothing much else to say about it but it makes me happy.






But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

A Closed Mouth

See the problem with most girls is that they don't speak up or say what they have to say, myself included. They either 1. Keep it in 2. Complain to the WRONG person or 3. (like what I do) Keep it in for so long that when it finally comes out it's a big pented ball spewing hot flames of anger and hate.

And here lies the problem, your thoughts or issues cannot be fixed until you voice them to the proper party. Stop keeping it in and allowing yourself to get angrier by the second. Many men will tell you like it is from the jump and just get it over with but I can't seem to understand why women like to drag the entire process out and drain everyone involved. Someone is bound to get hurt and it will most likely be you!

If something is bothering you don't let it bubble up until it gets out of control and becomes unmanageable. Nip it in the bud from the beginning. Men are not psychic! They cannot sense what you feeling on the inside. They probably won't dig any deeper than a few inches from the surface to decode what you are thinking/feeling to understand what you want from them. Chances are, no matter how many hints you give them, they probably still won't get it either. They are always straightforward with you with the things they want so why are you beating around the bush? Say what you have to say and let them know what's up.

The most important thing that ladies do not speak up about is how much they are feeling a guy for fear of I don't know what, he might not like you the same way or the "I don't want him to think that I'm being too pushy or forcing him into a relationship" bit. Let me tell you from now, let him know how you feel and establish it from the beginning. Women get into these relationships with one idea while men have a totally different spin on it. You either don't establish what the relationship is gonna be from the beginning or it's established and you start feeling otherwise. Someone, you, is and WILL get hurt before the day is over!

The key to eliminating the headache from the beginning is incorporating honesty into the equation and not going back on your word. Be honest and truthful and SPEAK UP because a closed mouth will never be fed!

I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled.

Mr. Partially Correct

He's my Mr. Partially Correct
He's not completely wrong but ain't completely right either.
Although he makes me feel good he seems to come up short on other occasions.
Loves me right but loves me wrong all at the same time.
Can't let him go cause he won't let me.
I don't leave cause I think there's still a small percentage of him that I can still correct.
Still a small part that I can make better.
It ain't right but he ain't all that wrong either.
I could probably stick around a little longer, give him some extra credit.
Some extra time out of class just us, no distractions.
But what happens when Mr. Partially Correct becomes the distraction.
Can't get nothing done, can't even move on to the next question.
Too scared to try something new, trying to put my all into one problem.
I just KNOW that I can get this right, somehow.
Stressing myself for what, when there's other questions I could invest in.
Gotta give Mr. Partially Correct up cause he ain't never gonna be all right.
I'll never get a 100%...

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.
