Potential

Potential boyfriend
Potential lover
Potential husband
Potential soul mate 

        May become

Potential one night stand/ booty call
Potential messing around/ f-buddies
Potential nightmare 
Potential divorce no. 3

       So treat yourself to

Potential friend, without "benefits"
Potential best friend, also without "benefits"
Potential self , potential self, potential self
Your happiness first, risk it and live it.

I must say the whole friends with benifits thing never made a lot of sense to me. I think in the end someone gets the benifit and someone loses a friend. This is a very good piece Njeri.

Good advice. Until you are happy on your own it's hard to be part of a happy couple.
