Dear You,

You have the complexion of milk chocolate, a spirit just as sweet, a personality un-matched by anybody that I know, but you can't seem to see how beautiful you are. You are my best friend so when you come to me with your troubles, like a friend, I listen. The story is always the same, the guy is always the same, and the ending, as you know is always the same. Let me recap to you how your story goes:

"When are you goin make time for Tree?"

---"I don't know. I mean he asked me to lunch but I got homework but I did see dude today."

(Only my silence and you continue)

---"He keep posting he want this girl and that girl but I'm everything he say he need. I need him to recognize that. He don't even follow me on twitter but he follow all the girls he see me tweet and flirt with them."

"Are you ever goin to go out with Tree for the lunch date?"

---"I doubt it. I wish everything he say, dude would say to me...aww that's so bad isn't it?"

Later on, I have to sit through the "I'm cutting him off for real" talk for at least the thousandth time and read the crying out letter on the facebook page. When you first mentioned this guy, I was completely happy for you but time progressed and I started to feel differently. The "relationship" you had, unknown to you, started to sound a little psychotic. You are putting your heart on the line for someone who has not taken you on a date, has not tried to make time for you outside of booty call hours, expects every move made to be on you, won't even follow you on twitter but will follow all of your friends, and will look you in your face on campus and barely part his lips to speak. Then there is the guy who was falling all over himself to get your number, is willing to make time in his DAY to take you out and make you feel comfortable, and has every quality you like but you won't even give dude a maybe. I tell you to move on to someone who shows their interest but I get disregarded. Every time, the same excuse of your shy. Quite frankly, I'm tired of hearing that crock of bullshit. I'm shy too but that has not stopped me from expressing the way I feel about anyone. Numerous occasions you have been told to step out your box. Nobody can live your life for you. The things you try today will lead for interesting stories for your children in the future. You know I don't say things to hurt you because I love you. I also don't tell you things that I haven't done myself so believe me when I say it's not hard to try something new. Stop playing yourself for cheap. Your not a rhinestone on a name belt. You are a diamond so act like it.

Thank you. I Truely Appreciate You

Just recently, I recieved an email from a girl whom I have never met or talked to before the email. She had run across my picture with my blog written on the bottom of it. I guess curiosity got the best of her and she came to read.

Her message

"hi i jus wantd to say hi and that ur blog is cool. i notice it on one of ur posts on fiction united. girl u took the words right outta my mouth on ur blog about being a virgin. im 20 and i feel the exact same way. jus wanted to say thanks for putting the truth out there for v's like us lol."

Just to know that somebody took the time out to read my blog made by day. For her to go out her way to send me a email just to tell me she appreciated it made it even better. She didn't have to read it but she did and I thank her for giving me a reason to keep blogging. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!
