Entitlement: The White Man's Burden

This video excerpt from a lecture given by Time Wise about White Privilege is refreshing. Especially hearing come from a white man laying the truth out. Maybe all will one day realize the economic status is the culprit while the poor and working class of all races keep the elite in their privileged position.

It Gets Harder With Each Passing Year

For me:

Finding a man I am attracted to
Who believes in God and Jesus
Who is attracted to me and lives close enough to travel to me
Who wants to get to know me as a person
Who does not want sex from me unless we were married
And is willing to do what he must to keep the relationship going. Or maybe I should wants to be with me and care for me enough to put forth the effort and do what needs to be done to keep the relationship going and growing...


Is proving difficult.

Why the Need For a Push?

I ended things with him before but continued to allow him in my life. I just could not sever the link without a push. I found the push and removed the ties that bind. But why did I need the push?

Letting Go

Periodically I let go of some people in my life. This time I let go of someone, I technically broke up with last year, but I just couldn't get out of my life. Maybe a part of me still had hope, I don't know. I have cut this person off and hopefully they will stay gone this time. I need to move on, I need to be free. I know there is someone waiting for me. Perhaps we will get the chance to meet one day.
