Age aint Nothin’ but a Number…
Oh how do I love thee? Let me count the ways
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight…
I love this poem…what can I say? It’s sweet…
So Valentine’s Day is coming up, and is it me or do people just seem to get a bit “light-headed” during this “season”?
I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks music make you think? You know when you hear certain stuff? So as I sit here listening to Amel Larrieux she reminds me of a conversation I had with my girl yesterday…
She started with a question…would you date a younger guy? If so…how much younger is ideal? She just threw it out there…I’d thought about it before…
Aaliyah (God rest her soul), sang “Age aint nothing but a number…” but really? Do we think age aint nothing but a number?
Personally…I wouldn’t mind if my man was younger than me…(and when I say younger I’m talking 1-2 months at most…but if we’re talking about older about 3 years older max) but he has to be mature in his mind and his approach towards me…otherwise I don’t think it’d work…but that’s just me…
I remember reading masses of articles on relationships and age disparity to get the view on what others thought about it…one of the main parts that stuck was actually from the comments section and it was a 15-year-old girl saying she was engaged to a 21-year-old man who wanted to get married to her and have kids right away, but she wanted a future and a career…where is this child’s parents?! Hello?!
But…Love should be enough right? WRONG!
Because then I say that dismissing the fact that other people heavily influence a person’s judgement at times.
Fair enough everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but if it’s not in sync with yours…or even the least bit supportive do you really think you should start questioning things in YOUR relationship? Really? Because I’m sure when you started your relationship there were only TWO people in it…
THOUGHT: Look at Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher…she’s 15 years his senior and they’re happy!
And for the extreme cases (cradle-snatching vs Hugh Heffner-ness) there will always be the people in-between. The ones in “normal” relationships (age-wise) and the ones that aren’t in a relationship at all.
For some…being single is kinda hard…
Society has made it out so we think we’ve gotta look, talk n feel a certain way and if you don’t do like everyone else, no one aint gonna want you…wrong. So wrong.
THOUGHT: Beyonce…cool song but she’s wearing her ring…am I the only confused one…I thought the song was called SINGLE ladies? Ha.
I think we should love each other for who we are and not for who or what everyone else want us to be…we should love for ourselves because we know what makes us happy and we should love for LOVE…
Just a few thoughts…
