In Proper Perspective
" IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE "
BEFORE THE PAIN OF ONE BAD RELATIONSHIP
HAS EVEN ENDED...
SHE'S INTO ANOTHER MAN, THAT SHE JUST MET.
NOT TAKING THE TIME TO EXHALE, AND
NOT TAKING THE TIME TO HEAL
SHE'S BACK ON THE SAME ROAD, HEADED TOWARD REGRET.
BECAUSE OF A FEW DATES, THAT DID GO WELL
SHE IS SLEEPING WITH HIM, ALREADY
NO THOUGHTS OF TOMORROW, HER FOCUS, IS ONLY ON NOW.
NO THOUGHTS OF HER OLDER CHILDREN, WHO
ARE WATCHING THE THINGS SHE DOES
WATCH HER GIVE UP THE MILK, TO A MAN, WHO DONT WANT THE COW.
CONVINCING HERSELF, 'CAUSE SHE HAS TO, THAT
IN TIME, THINGS WILL WORK THEMSELVES OUT
IN SPITE OF THE OBVIOUS SIGNS, THAT THINGS AREN'T GREAT.
BY NOT TAKING THE TIME THAT WAS NEEDED
BEFORE LEAPING INTO THIS NEW THING
SHE IS MORE OF A LIKEABLE F--K, THAN A LIKEABLE MATE.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE CHILDREN
JUST KEEP IT IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE
BE MINDFUL IT'S MORE THAN JUST YOU, THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR PLATE.
IT'S OKAY TO TAKE TIME, AFTER ENDING A ROMANCE
TO LAY BACK AND CHILL WITH THE KIDS
THE RIGHT ONE WILL SHOW IN YOUR LIFE, SO BE PATIENT AND WAIT.

The time between relationships is relative to the need for healing. For some of
us, the between time, is longer than it is for others. But the first since sign we
should look for, is the ability to think back on the hurt and the pain and feel
nothing, but, what we learned from it. If anger still sufaces, or tears or anxiety, we
are not ready, to move onto the next relationship. No matter how badly we want
one. WE ARE NOT READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we move too soon, it is usually out of
desperation and loneliness. And then, we are soooo prone, to making more
mistakes, that will cost us more pain, that will just start the cycle all over again.
That's where many men and women find themselves...and never understand,
why. It's a vicious loop, that keeps you within its parameters, until you have the
commo
