Thanks 4 Not Ruining My Life

"I will ruin your life." he boldly stated to me through a text message.

Confused and thinking it was a joke, I tried to convince him that we should act on our feelings but he refused, insisting that we not cross that line and ignored me until I eventually forgot about him.

It felt so harsh back then, but I completely get it now.

Let's talk about urges and how every urge does NOT need to be acted on.

In my lifetime, I have met many men who aren't perfect. They ain't trynna be perfect and while perfection is non-existent, they are also trash enough to ruin your life if you let them.

Ironically, I found myself attracted to these type of men and while some of them were completely honest about their intentions, it was me who decided I didn't want to listen, it was me who decided that I could magically change them, it was me who decided I wanted to play with fire anyway lol.

And then one day... I grew up.

My logical side kicked in and I had to realize that just because I may be feeling someone, doesn't mean I need to act on it. Sometimes it's better to pretend that those feelings don't exist because to act on those feelings would be like opening up Pandora's Box and if you know anything about Pandora's Box, you know that once it's opened it becomes a bunch of shit you can't handle.In essence, no matter how salty you may be, you literally should THANK the person you wanted real bad but they rejected you. You don't want your life ruined sis. TRUST ME.Playing with fire is not always worth it and honestly, start L I S T E N I N G when people tell you who they are. You will save yourself a world of stress, headache, confusion and any other negative emotion  you can think of. DISCERNMENT (1 of my favorite words) is key here.

Moral of the story: Thanks my guy, for not ruining my life...
