A Piece of Man is Better than being Single..Huh | Afrikahs Perspective | More Than Makeup

"It's better to have a piece of a man than to have no man at all", is a phrase that has been used a lot to justify the relationships that offer no growth, love, or trust.


I ask why is this seem to be the norm when dealing with relationships. Why is it o.k. to accept someone who does not want to invest fully into creating a lasting relationship. Its fine if that's not what you are looking for and dating is more of your speed. But, if that's not your speed why are you so willing to accept something that you know turns the wine to vinegar in your cup.

You say you want someone to support you, love you and add to your happiness. In turn you will be that soft spot for them to rest on, their support when life's stress is attacking from all angles. That's the picture you created of a lasting relationship. Instead you have not been supported, love has been fleeting and happiness is no where near the horizon and yet you stay.


You stay for the status of having a someone in your life. Now how well is that working for you, better yet how fulfilling is that to your world. Can you look in the mirror and say that you have truly received what you needed to thrive in a relationship. Was it given to you genuinely from the heart. Are you doing it just to have something to talk about amongst your friends so you can fit in.

Or is it that you really do not want to do the work it takes to build, bond and grow within a relationship. To busy talking and not one bit of action in regards to making it right.

Or is it that you are scared, of trusting another person with your heart and are wiling to accept a piece of a man so you can protect your heart, well that's what you tell yourself. All the while your heart cries out to be set free.


Whatever it is, a piece of man is not o.k. if you are not o.k. with it. You can not change someone who does not want what you want in life. But, you can change the what you are wiling to accept in your life and refill your cup with the sweet wine of love.


Stay Blessed
