Love Don't End With Goodbye

People ask me why aren't you married, you seem to be an honorable man?

Yes, every day I'm evolving and find being single a very challenging state that I'm certainly not content with. But I like to also see myself as much wiser now that I'm older and thus choose to make more intelligent choices. I never met what I can say was a bad woman but women who have not been compatible with my spirit.

When I was younger relationships occupied my life while I made my life journey. I never gave incompatibility much thought for I figured I had a lifetime to figure out who and what I wanted in a woman. Through this process I'm sure, I fractured some hearts as well as I had my heart pierced by cupid arrow. I often reflect realizing if I had to do it all over there are few things I would change. I arrived at this juncture in my life for better or worse "What If" is no longer a part of my vocabulary.

Crazy part I'm a product of two parents who loved each other unconditionally and so many times at different chapters in my life wishing I could emulate my parent's formula for success.

"They say where you stood when you were young, is where you will sit when you grow old."

I have arrived at this moment in time for a reason, under circumstances of fate I accept. I have one word of wisdom to speak upon. Love Don't end with goodbye!

BLACK THOUGHTS BY ANTHONY ALDEN "I was often told by people around me I would never change. I not only allowed those negative people to reside in my world but I allowed them to cast me into a picture of a man that I wasn't. They thought I wouldn't. They said I couldn't. They told me I shouldn't. So I did. Become all the man I could be."

"I have been journalizing my thoughts since my early teens. I don't think I would have survived if it wasn't for my camera, pen, and paper. I thank God every day of my life for giving me this most precious gift, the ability to look inside my inner self and share my soul." "Picture My Word" My Words, My Wisdom, My Life I dedicate to My Mom Elizabeth Vines RIP When we lose loved ones to death it can often leave us at a loss for words as we try to reconcile the past. What we should have said, didn’t say cut slowly into our guilt. The loss often takes us back to happy times when innocence carried our hearts far away from the actual pain we try to push aside. I learned the other day an ex- died a tragic self-inflicted death. The finality of death fills me with uncertainty about where my mortal soul will rest. The nature of death can accidentally catch us by surprise like a ticking clock next to an hourglass. When, where, and how d...
