Dear Friends,
As you might not know, I decided to date. If you also know me, you know I hate doing it because I just want to find someone and deal with one person. So I am dealing with one person. Now she does not want to be singled out but if you are on my Facebook page, you will figure out who it is. Now before I get flooded with emails or comments, let me explain what’s going on. Basically I made a promise to myself that I am not going to do like I did with my ex Andrea. Actually, this woman is not like her. She a woman first and someone I have known since before 1999.
In my journey to rediscover myself, I am learning that I can be a better man to a real woman. My first mistake was dating someone attached to mommy at the hip. Sometimes a person has to distinguish the difference between being in love and just passing time. I also made the mistake of letting something or someone cloud my mind while with my ex. I am thinking clearly now. Now, basically this person I have been seeing is more supportive and caring. She and I both are going to school to better ourselves. She will be done in August then she will be going to get her bachelor’s degree. I will be going to school for my bachelor’s in the fall as well. We both want more in our lives. Something my ex is incapable of thinking about or wanting to do.
Like I said, I cannot mention her name or anything else about her because she wants me to keep her private. I respect that. She also respects why I blog and more. I can say that she’s a lot like me in personality, thought process, and even life views. That’s something I need to have right now in my life. I thank god for being blessed with her in my life. With all that said, it is something of a miracle that I got blessed with her during the short amount of time since being out of jail for child support. A lot of what I had to deal with has tested me and being blessed with this woman is a bonus. I am not trying to brag but this woman along with my real friends help me this past month.
Sometimes in life, you need a helping hand and I had many helping hands. One thing that I wish I could have taken a picture of was seeing the sun rise off the Detroit River and us seeing the sun rise and also us sitting along the river. That moment is engraved in my mind forever. I am a romantic at heart and that would have been a perfect ending to a love story. For now, I am working on being at peace with my life. Something I finally learned is that I should not be scared to be alone because I am not alone. I might be an only child but I was blessed with many brothers, sisters, and friends. There’s more to come.
