Neither One of Us

As I sit here at 2:55 am listening to Neither One of Us by Gladys, I can remember our first date it was a Sat'day. It was so original. Nothing fancy, just a movie and dessert after. That was three years ago and neither one of us could imagine being where we are today. You are my best friend... I can honestly say that no one has impacted my life quite like you have. You came in, cleaned up shop, cleaned me up, cleaned up my act, made me a better me and resumed residency in my heart. You accepted me without apologies. You didn't need too many complex explanations, nor did you seek them. You just wanted me. I think that's the hardest thing for me to see. After break-up number 2, I knew that we were threw. I was wrong. We both picked up the pieces of what we could and tried to move on. We exuded the characteristics of the perfect relationship - both happy and madly in love. A love that was mended. We both were hurting, but we found it was convenient to go on hurting and pret...

The Simplest Break-up Letter

As clear as glass I realize that everything that is to be will be. For the life of me, I am trying to put reason with why it all fell apart. The letter goes like this.... Hey baby, How was work today? I hope they didn't work my baby too hard. Babe, I have had some kind of day. I'm tired, I've worked 5 days straight and to be perfectly honest - I need a break. I know that I usually call you when I get off from work, but I've been chat'n with my friends and we've had a lot to talk about. Yea, I know it's been over a week since we've talked, but you know that you still have my heart. No, now don't start thinking that it's all about the ring. It's not that.. It's just that I need time to reflect on me and I'm working on it. Hey baby, what I'm trying to say is I left you too weeks ago - I'm gone, but I haven't told you yet. Zo

Oh, she just a Hook-Up (Reality Check)

Zo on Hook-ups: I am the last person to comment on such a risqué topic, but I will put my two cents in. As far as my viewpoint is concerned – I am what one would call a Conservative Liberal. I know. I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but that is who I am. In my 24 years, I cannot say that I have been a Saint the entire ride. Hell I cannot even say that I have been modest in my happenings. There is one thing that I can say: If firemen wear rubbers… So do I! I have no children. I have no known STDs. I am no longer riding the thin line or choosing to play with my life – I am SO serious about taking a pledge to stop having. Ok – well I will save my reasoning for another day. Young people, please hear me out about this hook-up thing though. Ok, you meet this interesting girl or guy online – whatever you prefer. He or She seems nice, good conversation, attractive smile, credentials, and hot. The two of you move from the World Wide Web and start sexting (or texting for my more mature audi...

Simplicities of Life

I have simply decided to take a hiatus from my own personal life. Until I figure out what I want out of life – I will not be happy. Looking back at my 3 relationships, everyone wanted something different. Shannon wanted to try something new – me. Taneshia wanted a continuous hook-up – me. Ana wants a husband – the verdict is still out on that one. One thing is for certain; I have tried to be consistent with everyone. I try to be genuine, reliable, resourceful, and loving. Hint: PLEASE catch the “try to be” in the last sentence. I believe that I do ok – I mean, please keep in mind that I am human. Zo on Wisdom: It is 2011. I will be 25 years old in October. I cannot believe how fast the time has flown. I believe that I have matured a lot, but I have so far to go. As quoted by one of my good friends a few weeks ago, “Baby, you haven’t lived until you turn 30. You’ll see the whole world in a different light.” I love those words of wisdom, but I do not believe that I can wait 5 years an...
