This one isn't an original but it's beautiful nonetheless...
"A good Woman is proud of herself
She respects herself and others.
She is aware of who she is.
She neither seeks definition from the person that she's with,
nor does she expects him to read her mind.
She is quite capable of articulating her needs.
A good woman is hopeful.
She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true
She knows love, therefore she gives love.
She recognizes that her love has great value
and must be reciprocated.
If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.
A good woman has a dash of inspiration
and a dabble of endurance.
She knows that she will, at times,
have to inspire others to achieve the potential that God gave them.
A good woman knows her past
understands her past and moves toward her future.
A good woman knows God.
She knows that with God the world is her playground,
but without God she will just be played.
A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past.
Instead she understands that her life experiences are merely life lessons,
meant to bring her closer to self-knowledge and unconditional self-love."
I think I'm almost there!?!?!?!?!?!?!

InsOmnIA!!!
12:30 AM
As I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my SOUL to keep...
Sleep should soon follow...
5 mins...
"It's cold tonight... I forgot to put on my socks"
*gets up and puts soft, comtfy socks on... returns to bed*
"Hmmm... still cold!... Do I have another blanket in the linen closet?... Dang... I really need to do laundry this weekend, this is getting ridiculous _____ (insert name)... you just have too many draws, doesn't help that you just went out and bought some more last weekend... SMH something is seriously wrong with you.... NO not really _________ (insert name) said he does it and I'm pretty sure we're not the only two who do it... ...I have to finish this paperwork tomorrow night... Need to stop slackin'... Gotta finish that personal statement too... Dang so much to do, so little time... It sure is cold tonight... Probably should've put on clothes... Don't really feel like getting up to do it now though... TV sure is LOUD...
*looks for remote... turns down volume*
"Much better"... BLANK ______________________ *watches TV*
33 mins...
"I really need to sleep... these kids have been on my last nerve for the past two weeks... I'm already cranky in the morning not sleeping is not going to help any... God I wish _________ (insert name) was here!!!...
*turns around and vacates her side of the bed*
"Ummm... I can almost feel his presence... Heat starts to rise..."
*turns pillow vertically and puts head on it*
*imagines arms... starts whispering all the things she wants to say or wish she had said...*
58 mins
*can no longer hear the TV*
"It's definitely warmer in here... I wonder if ______ (insert name)or ______ (insert name) touched the heat after I fixed it..."
*Eyelids are getting heavier*
"Before I fall asleep I need to do this"
*Picks up phone, hits menu, selects messages, chooses new message, types in:
"GOODNIGHT!!!"... and sends it to him!!!
Sleep soon follows...

Long Overdue!!!
I don't know when it happened...
I have sincerely looked back and can't pinpoint the exact moment it happened...
... I FEEL LIKE EMOTIONS ARE WEAKNESSES!!!
I sincerely believe that I am a good enough friend. I say good enough because although I am caring, compassionate, dependable and almost always available... I firmly believe in self-preservation and that belief sometimes keeps me from going the extra mile sometimes. What most don't realize is that I can be all of the fore mentioned adjectives without allowing myself to feel more than I'm willing to feel.
Well with every year I get older and I'm beginning to realize that might be just a tad problematic.
I operate as if I have very little emotions... not to be confused with me thinking that I have very little feelings... On the contrary, most times I feel so much that I have to repress most of it to keep from burdening others with them. As a result I keep myself from expressing almost all feelings that should be expressed.
This philosophy puts a strain on the relationships that I have... whether they are platonic or romantic...
I found myself writing the longest email of my life recently because after 6 years I was spilling out everything that has ever hurt/bothered/annoyed/gotten on my nerves out after almost a year of being probed/pushed/pressed to share my feelings... Why did it have to come to a point where our friendship was on the line for me to open up???
Frankly I don't know... I sincerely wish I could answer that... and Now that I've noticed it in this relationship I can't help but see patterns in all my other relationships.
I can tell you that it annoys me more than anything that I'm realizing this because I usually fix PROBLEMS to the best of my abilities but I'm not really sure this one is one that I even WANT to fix...
Life has been good so far why change it?
