I’m warning you, this blog may come off as scattered thoughts and bad grammar but it’s the best I can do right now. My mind is all over the place and the one thing I’ve been running from, writing, seems to be the only way I can express myself—even if it doesn’t make sense to you.
I’ve been sinking for ten plus even more months. And if you’ve noticed, I’ve been drifting away from writing in the process.
I know
Everything that happened
But at the same time
I don’t know what really happened
Crazy right?
One day we were great
The next, we couldn’t wait
To not see each other’s face
You deserve a heartbreak
I hate that I’m saying this
But I mean it, with all my might
You deserve to lose sight
Of your dreams becuz of love
You deserve to sit in the local pub
And drown your sorrows
In knowing there’s no tomorrow
With the one you love

I haven’t blogged in ages. A friend of mine calls weekly to remind me of this. I’ve partly convinced myself that it is largely due to wanting to live in the moment without a thought of “oh this would be a great blog.”

“Why are women from single parent homes (specifically those raised by moms) so defensive and anti-men? Who’s to blame; mom or daughter?”
A friend of mine texted me those questions the other day and I wondered if other men shared his sentiment. If so, it kind of suggests that men may see women with defense mechanisms as a negative trait as opposed to a positive attribute.
It’s a tough set of questions because at the end of the day, it’s all-relative. A women being raised by a single mom doesn’t guarantee that the woman will become defensive or anti-men. Likewise, a women who was raised by both parents isn’t a guarantee that she won’t be ‘defensive and anti-men.” It all depends on the women.
It seems that some men may see women who were raised by single moms as complex, while those women are simply trying to beat a ‘curse?’ Afterall, one could look at any child, man or woman, who survives a single parent household as a gift and a curse.
