There's always one person that will tell you about yourself in the nicest way and you just can't get offended. There's someone who's only known you for a little while, but has read your ins and outs and has written a summary about who you are. You're content with this person - happy for them to know you. I've met that person. My good buddy Tamika. Now she's an old woman in the kitchen. She will burn the hell out of any dish like someone's grandmother. Her future husband is destined to have gourmet styled cuisine daily. It amazes me how Tamika reads me. She kinda knows what I'm thinking and how to advise me. I feel like she's known me for years. She has aspirations of being a life coach - I definitely see that in her future. She should surely coach my crazy azz.
After work, I went over to Tamika's for a late dinner. She was preparing this chicken soup and Johnny bread. She explained that it was a Bahamian dish that she eats back home in the Bahamas - so you know how I love to try new foods... I was all about it. So we talked about relationships, Tantra, work, life, and happiness. Before I knew it - the time was already 2am. I guess time flies with you're enjoying your company.
Last night was the lunar eclipse - so being the photographer that she is, she wanted to take pictures. After dinner we had some pure Hennessy without any Coke. When I tell you it was just damn smooth. I've never drank liquor like that before. It wasn't bangy or full of whatever - it was just smooth. So as we froze our asses off outside, she took some beautiful shots of the eclipse.
Again, Tamika made me think about what's to come - that inevitable stage. She advised me that marriage is a huge step and she wants me to be sure that I'm sure. Indeed I want to be, but I believe that I am so consumed up with pleasing my lady and those around me that I never take a look back and see what "Zo wants." I think I'm going to focus on that - thanks friend. I'll ponder on that as I enjoy this Hennessy without any Coke.
