You get 1k likes per day, but do you like yourself? You put your ass up on the bathroom sink and snap a filtered photo to show him what he's been missing. But what are you missing? You're #wifey material? But every picture he sees is of your MAC-covered face and your Gucci-covered ass? But what does your heart say? What does your heart want? To the world, you're thirsty for attention. But really you just want to be noticed, desired, craved, loved, and told that you're #pretty. You're searching for the #one, but instead settle for the likes of one thousand. Hey, that's better than nothing, you think. But you'd be wrong. It's your confidence, certainty, and strength that set you apart. Half of the women on social media are assed out, most of whom you can't compete with physically (because you can't afford the weave or the filters, or make the right connections to get the free, high-end clothes). To make a long story short, baby girl; there's nothing wrong with being you, being comfortable in your own skin. You want him to love you, but not even you have come to realize how to do that, and accept her. Your first mistake is that you're preparing to be conquered, but not loved. You're preparing your face, but not your thinking. You've readied your body, but not your expectations. A prepared #woman is a successful woman--in everything she does. Be ready for him, not just in want of him. If not, he'll become just another admirer of your #face and #body, with no real idea of who you are.
