A Natural Woman

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired.
And when I thought I had to face
another day,
I used to feel so tired..
Yep! That's where I am: Tired of the whole thing. I am on the brink of giving up. I have searched to discover that all the love I really need I have within me, and all the love I think I need can not be found in these traditional methods. I am fully prepared to toss in the towel and admit defeat with eyes wide open.

Modern day dating has far more loop holes and conditions that our predecessors were exempt from. Technology, advanced degrees, income and tax brackets have created a world where men and women have "options." The result in this busy hustle and bustle world is that all things are optional to someone, and priorities are "relative" to everyone. What is important to one is not always the same for the other.

So I have shifted my focus to other "more important" issues in my life. You know, the same pursuits that made me single in the first place: My Family, My Finances, My Career, Going on Oprah and Finding my ONE TRUE PASSION (whatever that is). I wholeheartedly believe in pursuing those things because they are more attainable than real love and the end justifies the means.
