I don't wanna be without you babe,
I don't want a broken heart.
Don't wanna take a breath with out you,babe
I don't wanna play that part
I know that I love you, but let me just say
I don't wanna love you in no kinda way,no,no
I don't want a broken heart
No,no,no broken-hearted girl
I'm no broken-hearted girl.
Beyonce hit it right on the money with that song.It's amazing how we are young and haven't experienced life yet,songs are listened to for the beat and the rhythm. It's only later,when you are older and wiser,then we listen to it and relate to the lyrics behind the song. We can relate because we have there and done that. Reflecting back on the last few turbulent months of my life, I realize I have changed. Really, I had no choice but to change from a naïve girl who thought she knew it all into a mature young woman.You see,I have learned that life has a way of teaching us hard lessons about love. And believe me,there are MANY lessons to be taught, lessons are learned only by living them. You have to go through them and survive to truly understand. Sometimes,the only way is to live life, learn from our mistakes and move on. Unfortunately, when it comes to love,for a lot of us,it takes a while longer to get to that over and over again until we finally get it.Women,through history, have played the fool for love. And you know what? We probably always will. It has been drilled into us from birth that to be truly happy we need a man in our life and in our bed. I'm sure I can get some amen on that. The lesson I have learned are quite simple. Lesson one: the entire concept of love is a bunch of pure, one hundred percent, unadulterated bullshit. Love doesn't conquer all or solve all our problems if anything, love probably complicates matters. Once love comes into the picture, it totally change things. You definitely can't live off of it when your symbol of live is beating you down. Lesson two: Never, Never, Never, I repeat never, let a man,no matter how much you love him or he claims to love you, control your life or become your life. Before you know it, you have lost your identity and ultimately yourself. I swar on my daddy's grave that will never,ever happen to me -AGAIN. If I ever have children, especially a daughter, I'm going to teach her that fairytale are just that- fairytales. There isnt a knight in shining armor who's going to ride into your life and love you,protect you and cherish you forever. That shit only happens in the movies. In real life, love usually comes with a price.
