keep them in our lives. Like most men, we constantly find ourselves consumed with our daily routines and momentary lapses, that we get secure with our significant others being there without effort on our parts. We expect them to be content and aiding to our needs and wants, give us that nurturing were so desperately seeking. There’s no easy road for us to find, its not mechanics.

The grass isn’t any greener than what you’ve got in your yard. In the meantime, along this search, keep your head focused on becoming your own friend first, allow yourself to let Ms. Wrong teach you about Ms. Right and try to enjoy Ms. Rightnow until then. We are men, and needs have to be met. It’s genuinely being yourself, allowing change to happen and coexist with your surroundings. Forcing any situation usually lands us in the same spot tim H[?Y?Z[????Y][??\??[\?[?YY?X\??8?'[?H?]?]?][?H][???'B?????Y????XY????LNB??
