Generics should not be covered

 

People now days are so quick to talk about the old days- old relationships- old marriages. The times where divorce used to be rare....Couples would tough it out....talk it out...make the best of bad situation. There were more than 2.5 kids...the cupboard was never bare...and kids were taught morals.  Those were the days that a "village" raised the kids...the kids were respectful to elders and each other...no internet, no cell phones...just a boom box and a tv that mostly collected dust.

But times are different.  Being in a relationship suddenly became work.  Single mothers and fathers are heads of the household. The children raise themselves. Not based on true role models, but random stars on tv that they "think" are worthy of duplication. 

No longer is it easy to find a man that recognizes that he is the head of the household. (God fearing... makes the decisions...pays the bills...and is respectful to his mate) No longer is it easy to find a woman that supports her man. (knows God and the power of prayer....takes care of household chores...and raises her children to depend on themselves and not something or someone else)

So...we settle for the generic. The person we KNOW IS NOT for us.  We ignore all the warning signs and move forward. He's cute (but lazy)....She's fine (but nasty)....drives a nice car (but doesn't pay their bills).....they are financially stable (but toxic)  yall already know the vibes. You become comfortable in an uncomfortable situation and it leaves you feeling powerless and fake. It seemed like a good idea at the time but now....yeah not so much. 

When it comes to ur life, ur kids lives and ur destiny, you shouldn't compromise bc ur tired of waiting. Everything you're praying for comes with time.  Don't you know GOD IS FAITHFUL? Don't you know that God is THE NAME BRAND of all times? Why we out here flossing generic relationships when the real one is just a season away? 

It's easier to NOT get into something than it is to EXIT what's already there.  Take your time.  Embrace you for a change. Nobody's judging.  And if they are...let'em.
