Just A Thought (TBT; 2014):

#Men won't change unless #women do. The rules don't #change unless our #expectations do. And the process of choosing a whole #man can only begin after we make up our minds to both #expect and accept whole men—not half-assin' it, just-to-get-by men, not other women's men, and not the crumbs that not-so-good men offer. It's sad to say, but we're creating much of our own misery because we're afraid to let go, are afraid to walk away, or are #afraid to be alone. I'm not saying we deserve the back and forth, the side pieces, the #disrespect, #drama, #lies or #games. I'm not making excuses for some of their bullshit antics or socially-accepted, asinine #behaviors. But how much of our heartbreak is truly their fault, if we allow it? We may not deserve it...but what's the difference between what's #deserved and what's accepted? If we stay, not a damn thing. #TBT #2014
