Single

Here’s why...

By BJPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I can put my limbs around whoever I want whenever I want, I choose not to. But, why? Isn’t this what people do? Why do I restrict and limit myself when it comes to sex? I’m good at it. I’m attractive and attracted.

I think it’s because I want more than just sex. Yea, I know that’s basic and sometimes people say it just to say it, but I mean it!

Give me conversation and understanding. Get to know me on a cellular level because I promise I’ll do the same. Is it insane to want this? Do people still provide this?

It’s not rocket science so why is it so hard to find this?

Not looking, just asking for a friend.

What I’ve come to realize in my almost 39 years of living, is that people are selfish. Personally, I despise that quality in a person.

My thing is, be you, do you, but be honest about it. I’m going to have something to say or I may even walk away, but that should be my choice.

Everyone has options, choices, in any given situation outside of life and death. If I choose to walk away, then that is the consequence of your actions.

I may even hear you out. We can talk about it and I may understand your logic, but give me the option. You won’t know if you lie. Because let me tell you, baby, if I find out, it’s bye bye, love.

I can’t trust you after that (depending on the situation) and If we’re still able to be friends, I’m simply meeting you where you’re at. Things will never be the same and more than likely, you’ll feel it. It might be subtle but you’ll feel the change .

People withhold information for their own selfish reasons. I promise we are all strong enough to handle the truth, even if we feel like we can’t.

About the Creator

BJ

I’ve never shared my writing publically so this is scary for me.

If 2020 has taught me anything, it’s that life is short so, here I am!

This is healing and dreamchasing at its finest.

Please share your thoughts with me ❤️
