RanDUMB Blurb #5: Young and In Love

OK so how does that happen? I happen to have encountered folks that are my age and are married with children and are happy. Is it an anomaly or is this something that can really happen when two people love each other. I would hope that after being together like 8 years and having three kids together you would just go ahead and tie the knot. What I want to know is how do you know that this is the person you want for the rest of your life at 21? Personally, I have yet to meet a guy that I could see myself marrying (maybe but certain things just WERE NOT in order for them). I've met my share of candidates, however, nothing deep enough for me to be like OMG...he's it. I think I have become jaded from trying to "look" for a mate when it really shouldn't be my concern. I think that when young love occurs people have been together for a while and haven't been jaded by experience and have not been with people outside of one another. I see nothing wrong with it...I actually find it quite beautiful! I just know that in my mind that I haven't become the Bitter Black Woman, and probably will never be. I'm not hating but I've always wondered what could possibly make a 20 year old say "I wanna be with this person for the rest of my life". I have yet to encounter a man wants me as much as I want him (If he does, neither one of us has said anything...so this may not be a fair statement). Hell, I haven't even encountered a man I think I could co-parent with let alone be with. Young love is beautiful...I'm not rushing it though! When it happens I will know...and that's just that!

Bye Bye,

So It's Been A Long Time

Soooo much has gone on these past few months. I have taken leaps that I thought that I was too scared to take. I am currently just anticipating graduation, but I've also been keeping company with a pretty cool young fellow ;). In the midst of all of this, I can admit that my stress level is at an all time high...hopefully when Spring Break comes around I'll be able to mellow out and just chill. With my personal life there isn't too much too say, It's something that I am pretty secretive about and it is still a situation that I'm not trying to jump the gun with. I like the day by day thing. I am the most comfortable that I have ever been with a person (In a while actually) so I want to keep it fun and light! I am able to be me and he appreciates that. I promise to write more later, but right now I have to jet! Gotta a lot to say

Later,
P.R. Reid ;)
