I just read this and had to share: Be the gatekeeper." Your heart is a precious gift. Your body is a temple. Be selective. Respect it and be respected. Love yourself and be loved. It you don't respect and love yourself first, building a healthy relationship with another is like building a house with no foundation -- eventually the cracks and lack of a strong base will eventually cause it to crumble. Wow..that's words to live by but so honestly true. In my own thinking...if we know we are worth more and WE ARE!! Why do we settle for less when we know we deserve better??? We all at some point in our lives have been in relationships with men, who cheated on us, who didn't appreciate us, who disrespected us, and lets not forget the ones who take and take and never give..I wish i had a witness right now. But we stay in that relationship even when we know, we should of kicked rocks a long time ago. But we are too afraid to walk away in fear of being alone or not finding anyone better. That's when your love for yourself comes into play, we forget that we are worth it..we are worth being in an honest relationship without the lies, cheating, or disrespect. Know your value and don't accept being treated in a way less than you deserve. You deserve to be treated the way you treat others. The minute you comprise your self worth and accept less, you say to the world that you don't deserve any better. Have a reality check with yourself...think about your relationships with your friends..we all know if a friend stabbed us in our backs..we wouldn't hesitate to dismiss them from our lives..but when it comes to our relationships with men we put up with things we know we shouldn't and still let that person be in our lives. Ive been there..done that..But should there be any difference? No..don't put up with BS in any form from anyone. It has taken me a lot of years and being single to finally realize the most important relationship i can have is with myself and God. Love yourself first.. Love yourself the way God loves you..unconditionally..flaws and all.. Know that you are worth it. and if a man cant see that..that's his lost not yours. Real Talk!
