A woman named Time.

I don't know about you guys but I think women have the most patience, especially in relationships.
They also seem to be the writers of the longest list of excuses for men and their behaviour. We are by all means a perfect construction of a man's ass covering. There is not a woman alive who has not justified something inexcusable for a man. We are their helpers after all..Aren't we? As do the oldies sit and knit blankets, so does the every day Bonnie make up an excuse for her Clyde.

We are now prepared to "ride or DIE".
We go his way.Forget the fact that if we were the ones driving,we might ride and LIVE but no. We're too far from the edge, too cautious. Let the man take the lead. Pardon the fact that, he may still be searching for the way but its better for the blind to lead love stuck..right?

I know you must be wondering, "Where does the woman named Time come into this?" but don't you worry. I'll cover all these bases before I'm done.

I think women underestimate the intelligence and ability of men. Yes, they may be simplier than we are but simplier does not translate into stupid, nor does simplier mean that they cannot be made to account for their actions. Simplier means that they don't sit and pine. They do not sit and exaggerate issues. They often times do not sit and compound problems the way we women have mastered the craft.

We have degrees in prompting arguments, getting emotional, scouting for evidence which is completely unfounded and rallying up our just as mental girl friends to console us by confirming that our worse nightmares are true. We have been fed bullshit my fellow women and it is time to stand up and raise our faces and expensive Brazilian weaves *for those who wear them* from the rubbish we've been up to our shoulders in. Like farm animals before the long wooden feeding plate for gruel, we've been chowing down the fairy tale romances.

It is 2014, the average woman's face isn't going to burst into a shower of blushes if a man comes riding out from the bushes on a large stinky horse, talking about the palace he has prepared for her ,completely furnished with his wicked witch of a mother and uninterested," lacking conversation" father.Its far too hot in St. Lucia for a man to ride upon his noble steed to promise a woman a life of long fru fru dresses and a cup of tea in stressful moments which would better warrant a felly belly or 50 cent icicle.

Now, women are selling off their best years to men who are not eagerly stepping up and out of their mediocrity. I respect a woman who stays loyal to man who is making something of himself. He has been with her in hard times that persons were not present to witness and so she stays with him amidst all opposing opinions. That is respectable.
*applause*

Commendable.

However some women wait along side a man of no progress. No promise. No future.
They wait till their girlish figure boils down to thick varicrose legs and an unmanageable waistline. Their rosy cheeks are now open pores caked with make-up to beg the attention of this unprepared male specimen. All this happening to their bodies ,sometimes without evening having grandchildren..yet being completely able to notice how persons struggle to discern their true age..as their face is beaten with love worry.

Some women have waited on the wrong men. They had patience with losers. Youth vampires who , as I can only assume have receding hairlines because that's where they continue rubbing whilst trying to remember the list of women they have peeled panties off of. Marriage is the goal for many Christian woman however not all were spared from marrying men who would at some point, slide into a mid-life crisis that they would never step out of, lose their hopes and dreams and respect for family and ultimately, become losers themselves. I am not trying to be mean, I'm just saying. Sometimes, whilst passing by, I truly believe that some men use the round of beers they keep paying for, to wash the burning guilt that's crawling up their throats. More beers, to make bigger stomachs, to compensate for their shrinking balls as they shirked their responsibility.

Some woman have paved their way to their abandonment, by abandoning their homes and leaving the front door open to the more than willing adulteress. Their ring is their reason to become frumpy and unattractive, to laze around and let their former selves die by the wayside. New ring. New style. Now I can nag you till I die. Sleep over romance, bills over intellectually bonding conversation.

Some persons made the wrong choices.
Some continue to make them.
Some made the right choices ...at the moment, but life goes on and people change and they were not strong enough to weather it.

Some of us have endurance for the most unacceptable things..amidst the reality of no evident change.
There are women who are going to bed tonight, in relationships where everyone's nen nen and cousin in the states know they"re getting horned to the 10th power. They are hurt, and broken .Crying and sad. Some a bitter and seasoning his meals with cement at this point. Their hearts are crushed and in the latter case..simply on fire. They waited on men who never delivered on a promise they fully believed in. They now have children and responsibilities which morally and emotionally shackle them to men who make them more than just unhappy. Their chance to leave and play house with who would have been a much better suitor has passed.
They now walk the streets exchanging uncomfortable greetings with persons they could have been happily in love with. They secretly hope that they voice didn't reveal the regret whilst they say to the better man.."hey,how have you been..long time...hows * name of significant other*"

Likewise there are men waiting for their hot mess of a female companion to get it together in a way that they can comfortably bring her to their families and talk confidently about his interests in marrying her. There are men carrying babies, with the full on blanket on one shoulder, diaper bag on the next, umbrella in the left hand, opening the bus door with the right hand, combo. There are men breaking a sweat to met society's expectation of what a man should be. Some are squeezing blood from stones to make more money, and provide for everyone's needs and make sure that if he's tired on the verge of tears, that he has the balls to know better and just suck it up.

People are waiting on people they love,long after the feelings of love have passed. These people are no longer the person you fell for. Time has done what it does to everyone, it changed them. Some for the better and some for the worst.

Some men are resilient though and nothing can change them but the resolution to do so themselves and that is why I think that all women can afford to pick up this very important lesson from a woman named time..

TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN.

So understand, that if Time isn't changing you (for the better). She isn't waiting for you either.

Unapologetically Soulful.
