Girl, Move The F*ck On!

Why do we sometimes attach our worth to who we are dating. I know many women

that put up with much worse just to say they have a man. Why is being single looked upon as a

part of sadness? It’s like we forget all of our values and self-worth just to be with a man that

treats us poorly. It’s ok to be single. We can be single and happy ladies. When you find yourself

single and desperate to find a man you’ll end up with a man that will take advantage of that

desperation. Cheating isn’t the worst thing that a man can do, some of them physically abuse

women. You may know a woman that has or is in a relationship with a man that puts his hands

her. You may wonder why she would put up with someone like that and the reason could be

that she also has the echo of “single and lonely” replaying in her head.

I believe as little girls we were told to act a certain way or do certain things so that when

we are older we will find a nice man. I know that’s how I was raised. Although I only saw my

father treat my mother with the upmost respect, my mother never sat me down and told me

how I should allow myself to be treated by a man. She told me what men didn’t like in a woman

or a wife, but never told me what kind of man is deserving of a woman or wife. She was so busy

telling me how to love a husband that she never taught me how to love myself first. I believe

that so many women are lost behind men that are not supposed to lead that woman because

she wasn’t taught to love herself first. The man isn’t the other half of you; he is the other half of

your union. You need to be a whole person, meaning you love yourself and know your self-

worth, before your union can be completed.
