Zo on the Pick-up after the Break-up

I spoke with a friend of mine - Jeff, a few days ago and he said, "Zo, I think I'm loosing myself." The very thing that he's always had to complete him or validate his existence was gone - his woman. We talked about it over drinks at local restaurant and I gave him the best advise that I think I ever could.

1. Although she's gone - there are millions on top of millions of other women left - all hope isn't lost guy. The problem with many hopeless romantics like myself is that we invest so much into "ONE" when we should really be making small deposits and investing for total return.

2. Evaluate what went wrong - If you don't know what went wrong here, it's bound to happen again. What were the root causes of the arguments, see could there have been alternative ways to solve things.

3. Step out on Faith - You're 21 years old guy! You have the entire world in front of you - why dwell on the small stuff. I know a year is a long time when you're young, but maybe this was God's way of say'n - "MOVE ON! I have someone better for you." Trust God, step lightly and be open-minded.

I saw a sigh of relief on Jeff's face after the talk - I feel like I really did something for someone to their betterment. I'm so happy that I was able to help. I've coined this talk - the Pick-Up after the Break-up

That's it! I Quit! I'm Moving on!

Sam Cook recorded this old blues track in 1961. We were in a different time back then, but the realities of the lyrics are relevant even today. They were relevant in my life anyway. We connect to our artists by our emotions and experiences. Adele did a cover of the song on her album, 19. Her British accent and obvious sassy attitude gave the song flair and life. This song ministered to me because it gave direct insight on a situation that I was experiencing. I was in LOVE, by myself. There was an agreement to just, "be friends". In the song, there's a line that said, "if I can't have you the way I want you, I don't want you at all." So there it is. Throughout the relationship that I was in, there was a strong time strain. No time for me. No time for us. I can remember a conversation, "...you're not a priority. You're simply on a to-do list." One would think that even sane man would have left then, right? Not my stupid ass. SMH. Th...

A bottle of emotion

I refuse to write yet another love story and be labeled as a writer with lovely thoughts about happiness a bliss. I would prefer to be that brother that writes of truth, the other side, the side less read or shall I say TALKED about because it is less desirable material. No fuck that. I can tell I lost a few of you with that last sentence - so let's try it again. I would prefer to keep it real with the ugly than MAC make-up the FACE you want to see. Or better yet, paint a picture of the most beautiful relic on God's green earth. I'm real whether directly or indirectly. Intelligence is earned, it is free and costs you nothing to obtain. GET SOME! If you read hard enough you'll feel my pain and my intentions and my story. My intentions are not to confuse you, yet USE you to think harder than you thought the day before. I'll be your therapist, come on in. It's here - all right here, you just have to open your mind and receive it. The funny thing about words is t...
