Little Gems From OkayPlayer

Sometimes you have to get past the post titled "You shoulda married that light skinned girl" or the "how do you masturbate" post to find some little gems of wisdom on the boards. I've seen them several times over the years and decided to start recording them in my own little piece of the blogger sphere. I can't really say I'm sharing it with the world because I have no readers but I digress. Maybe lack of readers is a good thing after my "Streams of Consciousness" (Courtesy of Kristy)

Now a little background to keep you up to speed. Okayplayer loryn (also a soror of mine) just broke up with her boyfriend. Well he broke up with her after a year and a half. I guess it took him that long to figure out there was no spark.

Shay Butta says,

"New People, New Places, NEW STUFF!
Mourn.
Grieve.
It IS a loss.
But ultimately, the more time you spend mourning people who have, for whatever reason, decided to move on, the less time you could be applying yourself to finding the new people, new places and new stuff.Feel however you need to feel.
But remember, you got new people, new places and new stuff waiting on you.Don't keep it waiting too long.

It's a loss.You were digging or even LOVING this person, and they just decide they wanna leave for whatever reason.And no reason they give you is gon be good enough, but the reason they gave you is particularly lame.It sucks.It hurts.Cry. Acknowledge it, cause if you don't, it's gon come knock you on your ass later.Take this whole week and feel it. Confront the memories.But October 1st? See about some of that new stuff! EmptyComp is right--turn to friends and try to get out the house.I usually prescribe 6 months of singlehood for every year y'all were together--it takes that long sometimes to get back to You, you know.

"NOOOOO MA'AM"
Set your Breakup Meter to "1" and KEEP IT MOVING.That "open to getting back together" shit is just his way of 'letting you down easy', cause if he really wanted to be with you and try to make it work, he wouldn'ta left.Fuck im.Great guy, yeah, yeah, yeah, but seriously, he's bogus for that one.I hate to quote that book, but yeah, if he were really feelin you and down to make it work, he wouldn'ta broke up with you.

"Oh God, this right here is some boolsheet"
He got it good, done got bored, wants to get with other girls while you waiting in the wings for a "possible" future that may never happen. Sheeeeyit. Wanna be friends bullshit. He done forgot what you are worth.

Binlahab says, Advice from men is always welcome. Its damn near Gospel.

"don't be that chick"
if its over let it be over that means no friends dont be his insurance policy
