Do You

Why are people in this generation so concerned with how others view them? Keeping up with the latest trends, hanging onto every word your favorite rapper says, just not having your own identity. Yeah, a lot of you say, "So what if I like to wear expensive clothes to look nice?". Nothing wrong with that, the problem in that is when you think those clothes mean something. Valuing materialistic things like that so much is a problem when it's not who you are but who you try to be just to be accepted.
It's like you're putting up a facade, often times for so long that you don't even know who you really are. You should be using your time to learn yourself and the things you really need in your life. When you fail to do that you follow all of the, not necessarily wrong things, but not all of the right things. You attract the wrong type of people for you because they become more concerned with what you have and what you can give them, rather than who you are. You can't continually complain about the negative type of people that come into your life if you're not making a positive change to let better people in.
How can you be upset that you can't find a good woman to be in your life when everything about you screams that you're still messing around with little girls? A woman won't care about you flaunting all of your expensive clothes, cars and jewels. She's going to care about who you are and how the two of you can excel together, maybe even get those items you wish to flaunt so bad together. Ladies, there is NO WAY you can be upset that these little boys continually try to play games with you or drop you after sex when you dress like that's all you're down for. Respect yourself enough to cover yourself up and be confident enough in the person you are on the inside to let a man uncover your mental layers before taking off the layers, or lack there of, of clothes you're wearing. Stop chasing around the boys that flaunt their money, because they can't do anything for you right now but spend that money on you. Sounds nice, right? But when you need a shoulder to cry on, a person to go to for advice or even just someone to hold you when you're not feeling well, he's not going to be too into doing that for you because in his mind that's not what he's there for. I'm not saying it has to be either or, someone who can do for you financially or someone who will care for you emotionally. I'm saying start doing you, being yourself and you'll attract someone who's willing to do all of that for you.

Great post! Sometimes it takes a lot of courage to do you, but it's well worth it.

I think you just said some things that both men and women feel, but don't like to admit to themselves.

I appreciate you talking about it, keep sharing your thoughts because they are valuable.
