Let Me Tell You About Yo'Self!!!

Ummhumm...yea, that's what I was told. "So, I guess you think you're special, huh?" To which I responded, with a confused look, "um no, what do you mean?" Such was the dialogue that brought about a pointless conversation about how I am too strong of a woman and I need to learn how to need a man!!!!!!!! (wowzers) Okay, so I give him some credit. Yes, some women are "too strong", they hide behind their success, materialistic gains, pride, and confusion to admit that they may stand in need of help. Some women are, in fact, like that. However, this individual young woman, i.e. Danada - isn't one of those women. I have pride, yes, I was taught to have a certain degree of such. Weren't we all when he heard Maya Angelou's "Still I Rise" for the first time. "Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom?" (Angelou, Maya. And Still I Rise.New York:Random House, 1978) Of course, I have pride, but I understand the role a man plays in a woman's life. I honestly agree with submission (to a very certain extent). I am able to grasp the concept, that two people, who are in a loving relationship, need each other. That idea is absolutely fine with me. HOWEVER, this is a man that I've only known for a few weeks, have no love for (outside of the general love for humanity), and really have no NEED for.

I'm sure as you can understand, when I was told, "you need to need me", I was completely blindsided and thrown off by that comment. I don't need you, I don't really need anyone. Those that I chose to call upon in times of trouble are people whom I have known for years and I know that they will not disappoint me. That thought brings me to this point. I've been disappointed and left "high and dry" by so many people (not only men) that no, I don't bother asking for help. I don't even entertain the thought until you've proven yourself to be a trustworthy and dependable person. Needing you is not the issue, wanting you to get out of my face, is, however; the issue.

I don't mind being told off...in some manner I accept it, because sometimes that's the best way for you to know which points in your life need improvement. Have someone try to set you straight, and if they have any bearings on reality, they may just be able to bless you with a gem or two. For those who don't know diddly doo about you, though, can't tell you sh*t about sh*it. That's how I see that. I don't know. I can't really wrap my head around the idea of him trying to set me straight. N*gga please.

I don't get it...but I'm done with it.
