But somewhere we got drunk with power...we forgot our humble beginnings of near indentured servitude and focused only on how we are now big balling and shot calling...we had money, we had the clothes, the jobs, the cars...we had everything that we had once depended on a man to provide for us...
*cues Neyo's 'She got her own'*
Disposable
When you see something as disposable you don't give it much regard, but our men do in fact need our regard, our appreciation...no matter how much it seems that they have things under control, how much they tell you they 'got it'...they need our support.
"This is a man's world...but it wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a girl"James Brown was sanging that troof you hear me? Everything and everyone needs a support system, a plant can't survive without water, oxygen, sunlight...your support fuels your man just like gasoline fuels a car. Your support makes him want to do better, to excel, to be a better man, not only for himself, but for you.
To quote the illustrious Method Man...
"Back when I was nothing, you made a brother feel like he was something, that's why I'm with you to this day boo no fronting, even when the skies were gray, you would rub me on my back and say "Baby it'll be okay", Now that's real to a brother like me baby..."
So the next time that you wanna bitch and moan about something take a moment...be his personal cheerleader instead...thank him for what he does, encourage him, build him up (provided he's doing something that would warrant building up)...in the long run you benefit because you've proven yourself to stand by your man.
PS...while you cheerleading for him...put on the matching outfit, he'll like that

Wow that's deep. I honestly don't remember that.....I mean I really don't remember that.
I've always found that the longest lasting relationships have been like partnerships. The man and the woman pulling together for a common goal. Working and striving to take care of a household together. Lifting one another up, when the other is down. Being understanding, like you'd want your partner to be. Being full partners, not part time partners or silent partners.
It's one thing to come along when someone is successful; it's another to be there for the struggle.
....and yeah, we do like that matching outfit thing, that's the shit!!!
I don't remember it either, but I had a grandmother who lived it and told me stories about it. I agree with the partnerships statemnt, people often say you have to give 50% in relationships, I believe each person should give 100%, their all.
Loved the post, Chica! As always, you hold my attention.
I have no problem with being a support system to my man. All I ask is that the person I'm dealing with has ambition because that is everything to me. If a person has no ambition, I don't even waste time.
I agree with what you said about the 100%, versus the "50% in relationships". I think most people don't quite grasp that concept and that's where most of the problems occur within the unit.
amen!...*passing the offering plate around, then putting the change in my back pocket*..
i can't even talk shit. cept to say ...why not let her cheerlead..naked.
clothes are always optional and very unnecessary. lol
@Traci: Thank you dahling! I 110% agree, people need ambition even if they've accomplished alot of things
@Unpretentious: LMAO! Cheerleading naked is always acceptable and encouraged
