Is It Time To Blow The Whistle?

So......here's the scenario: you've been involved with your guy for quite some time now. Things are miles from "peachy". As a matter of fact, since day one, things regarding your "involvement" couldn't have ever, possibly been described as "peachy", even on a grading curve. Despite the lack of peaches AND cream in your peaches and cream oatmeal relationship, you still made a conscious decision to be a factor in the equation. You still made a conscious decision to allow him to treat you in a manner, for lack of a better word, that sucked! He lied constantly but you stayed with him. He stayed in the streets nightly, despite your ineffective protests, but you stayed with him. He showed you very little, if any, attention, affection, and adoration, despite your begging and pleading for, but yet in still....you stayed. The list of his countless offenses can go on and on. But I'm sure you're catching my drift because we've ALL been at this point. At the point where we know we deserve better but we're too afraid to make one step towards "better". You've adopted the philosophy that having a man who treats me in a lousy manner is better than having no man at all. And as a result, we settle. We settle for sub par treatment even though we know we deserve the royal treatment. The bad news is this: you've allowed somone to treat you like a doormat for far too long. The best news is this: you have the power to snatch your power back at this very second; you have the power to blow the whistle and declare "game over" ("game over" homeboy; you just loss).

So....if you find yourself in the season of needing to snatch back your power; needing to show someone with your actions that you are nobody's doormat, then get snatching! Dare to snatch back your power! Dare to believe that you deserve to be treated with the utmost respect! Dare to set some new standards! Dare to believe that there exists a true gentleman who is willing to truly love and adore you! Dare to be fearless, fine, and fabulous! Dare to say, "Boy Bye! It's my time now"!
