WE THE BEST

Relationships are interesting. You meet someone. You connect and then you find out you have nothing in common. The initial meeting is a heavenly wonderment of exciting conversation and fun flirting. Then you continue to converse and learn more and more about each other. You like what you hear and vice versa. Or do you? She's cute. He's cute. He/she has a nice job or going to school. Both of you have big dreams. You look over some stuff he/she does. It's no big deal. That's what you try to tell yourself. Then you're dating for a few months, and it seems that you don't know 'this' person at all. You question why you ever got in that relationship. You continue to stay in this relationship because of all the time and energy you have put in it. Then years go by and you continue to wonder.

We need to understand that when we meet people we usually meet their 'representative' (as my boy Jason says). We rarely meet the real people because most people are scared that their 'realness' is not good enough. It is what it is. I've decided that my representative is in retirement because I am wonderful as I am. My time is important so who I spend it with is instrumental. I have so much I want to do. I know what I want. I know who I want (at least what kind of person that is). I deserve the best. I realized that I will not accept anything less than the best for myself. In the immortal words of DJ Khaled, "WE THE BEST!" I am the best, and I deserve it. If you do not believe that, it's not my fault you don't know what the best looks like.
