I have this friend that is much younger than I am. Our friendship is one of those that amazes and yet makes complete sense.
Yesterday I was reminded why I feel the way I do about him. See, in every sense of the world he is a catch. Fine, Ambitious, Smart, and Good Hearted. Yet, in all the time I have know him he has not had a single girlfriend. There has been one or two crushes here and there, but nothing too serious. That is till last week Sunday.
The Sunday past was the day he met this chick that he can’t seem to stop thinking about.And of course, he finds his way to my abode to discuss the quandry that is this crush. Thing is, he has a friend who verbally expressed in said girl before he did; although he had from their 1st meeting been intrigued and interested. Now, said girl likes him (we think) but not his friend. His friend on the other hand has no idea yet the my young man and said girl have been spending a bit of time together.
He asks me: What should I do? Do nothing and just let things work themselves out. Or actively pursue the girl of my dreams?
My answer was this:
In this game of life, we have those who actively watch from the sidelines and those who get down and dirty in the field. You decide which one you want to be, but don’t complain when you get exactly what it is you ask for.
After he left, I just had to laugh at myself.
I love him because he is who he is. Homeboy will get get and dirty:) I like him because he is a younger me. Or maybe the younger me I wish I had been?
Now, if i could only just apply my own words to myself, I would be a MILLIONAIRE.
