Oooo Light bulb... You Crazy!!!

My woman's intuition told me that something just wasn't RIGHT... Just a few months ago, I ran across a guy that I thought was nice... He seemed to be cooler than a fan.. It also seemed that we had ALOT in common..  As the weeks progressed... I noticed that something wasn't quite right.. I kinda over looked it..

It was until that day I allowed this man to come over to my cousin's house.. I was sick.. It was back when I had bronchitis.. So he was saying that he wanted to take care of me and hold me. I thought that was also strange.. I mean I didn't know this guy really for him to be all giving..

Anyhoo he came over the following week. I was still sick but I was like what da hell.. I do miss being around men..  Why oh WHY did I let this man come around.. He was very very touchy.. He kept on touching me in ways I didn't like. I also told him to STOP.. Then he became some type of devil.. Really rude, very mouthy, and just FLAT OUT NASTY... So I told him to leave and I meant right then. So then I get text messages about how dumb of me to pass up on a good thing such as his self..  I was like Dumb isn't what  I am...

A few weeks passed by.. He apologized. He was saying he just can't help himself around me. (That was the second light bulb click).. I wasn't falling for it, yet I did allow him to text and call.. I did like talking to him. He was funny.. I just had to make sure he KNEW the RULES... We things were kinda looking up. I still wouldn't  go see him or let him visit me. I told him that it was just going to be a time to time phone conversation. I just didn't feel safe around this man.

Last week I was off all week. It was because I had jury duty. So he wanted to met up. Again I told him no. I didn't feel like it would be a good idea. Although I might come by that Saturday with a bunch of my friends.. I was going to be in the neighborhood and it was my friend's birthday.. So when Saturday came  I changed my mind. I didn't even want him to get the pleasure to meet them.. This wasn't a guy I was feeling.. In no way shape of form.. It was because he violated me.. He had no respect for me... So why would I give this man any more of my personal space... Let's just say.. I think he finally has the hint.. I was just not into him... On Sunday he sent this VERY NASTY TEXT... Basically it was on the line that he will no longer deal with me..  I thought that was very funny noting because I was the one giving him the cold shoulder to begin with...

Then one person that I think is such a nice person.. I consider them being a friend. This friend came to me out of concern. This friend was worried about me and this guy dating.. The friend saw that me and the guy had been communicating. They know each other through other circumstances..  This friend was telling me just how crazy this man was.. I found out some of the things that he has done in the past and trying  to do now.. It was becoming a pattern for him. (I knew it) this man was a crazy disrespectful human being..

I told my friend that I had it covered and didn't have to worry about me.. I already knew just by this man's actions and his words.. I am so thankful that I have learned to notice these things.. Those flashing lights are something else... I am glad it never went any further than it did..

I CAN'T give anymore of me...

Yesterday I took the time to really get deep into myself.  It was something that I've been meaning to do as my process to stay in my Happy Place continues...  I had to block my communications to a few people.. I am even limiting who I will be chatting with via "social networks"...  I got to get to a better me.. I got to clear my head.. No distractions needed..

Sunday night I got a call from a former user... He used me.. It is that time of year.. See I would always fall back into his trap.. I used to care about this guy.. I mean A LOT if you all knew the things I went through and did for him.. Yall would have slapped me over and over until I got the clue..

His Birthday is coming up and you know what.. He wants me to show him how much I love him..  Every year he comes around during his Birthday and Christmas.. He spends a lot of time cause he knows how I feel about Birthday's and Christmas..  He thinks he is gonna get an ass off gifts and all the coochie he can get..  I learned last year... It was no way I was going to allow this to happen.. I was stupid, dumb, and naive to think this man was real anymore. Word got back to me once, "Ahh Mah will get me anything I ask for".. He would go to his friends and brag about how much I would give him. How I didn't everything he asked.. He would say, It is because she LOVES me..  To be honest folks.. I didn't love him.. It was mostly feeling sorry for his ass.. I am a sucker for a charity case..

One year I brought him a lot of gifts.. It was nice seeing the smile on his face.. When everyone came to me and say, "what did he get you?" I was really ashamed to say... NOTHING.. I mean even saying that brought tears to my eyes. I did more for him than I did myself. He is not the only man who has done this.. Out of all the men I've dated, only one ever brought me a Christmas gift.. It is only a few that went out the way for me... So after the Holiday's he would disappear.. I wouldn't hear from as much.. He wouldn't even come around.. See I allowed myself to put up with this shyt..

Well now I am done.. I am closed.. I can no longer give anymore of myself to anyone.. I am drained. I can't help NO ONE.. I am at a point where I am struggling with life, health, and money.. Where are all these people that I gave my time, my heart, and money too.. Like they are always... No where to be found...

It was a lesson learned...

I can't believe...

 It has been this long since I last posted here. Nothing really has changed but my mentality.. I truly believe that I've gotten wiser an...
