A friend once said, you’ll continue to allow it to affect you UNTIL you whole-heartedly forgive him. Over the past couple of nights, I’ve questioned whether or not I’d let what I experienced affect me for the rest of my life and to be honest, I’m not sure. I’ve dated a few guys but BS would happen and I’d just walk the other way. Well, that didn’t work because I’m still hanging on to the hurt and won’t take nor believe anything anyone has to say. Sometimes I’d sit and think if I cried enough it would wash away the unfairness and allow me to start on a clean slate and I would be able to move forward. As I continue to think on it, I ask myself am I being fair? Well, I can honestly answer that by saying no but then I ask myself, when is anything ever fair? Yes, there are days where I want to get married and have a family but then there are days where I just say, to the hell with it- I’ll live happily ever after with my dog Boots and my adopted child. I knew since then, I’d never take another guy serious. Long story short, I agreed and next thing you know, we’re making plans only to be hit with some disturbing information from him which would forever change my life and how I view the male specie. This guy and I had been off and on for a couple of years and talk about emotional roller coaster, I was going through it! One day I was adamant on giving up and this guy comes and talks about marriage. I THOUGHT this guy was the one for me- I didn’t KNOW. Well, the key word in that last sentence is a word I overlooked- THOUGHT. Last week would have been my first year marriage anniversary to someone I thought God had for me. I’ve been tight lipped about it and have only shared it with a few people. With those decisions and experiences, I’ve learned that I couldn’t do anything else other than treat them as stepping stones and learning experiences.Īs I continue to move forward in my thoughts, there’s one thing that stands out the most to me and that’s something that happened a couple of years ago. Over the past ten years, I was forced to grow up quick and make decisions that made me and then some that broke me. I’ve shaken my head over a hundred times at the fact that in the last 29 years, I’ve been through some stuff, especially the last ten. Instead of getting ready to go hang out and celebrate my last day as a 29-year old, I’m sitting in bed in deep thought. “Mars vs Venus,” a very slow jam, soars, while “Pro Lover” is a breezy, casual number filled with sweet dub accents.ORIGINAL POST MADE ON FACEBOOK AUG 21, 2010

Two of the best happen to be collaborations with Jam and Lewis and the Avila Brothers. (The combination is as wrong as Eugene McDaniels' “Compared to What” and a soft drink commercial.) Otherwise, the slow jams and the few moments when Usher sounds as if he's having actual fun win out. (Either way, it’s evident that long-term relationships might not be for him.) The sleek dancefloor track “So Many Girls,” one of a few songs in which Usher sounds dead in the eyes, going through the motions, desensitized by the bounty of women at his feet, is followed by the sarcastically titled “Guilty,” where he whines “I guess I’m guilty for wanting to be up in the club” - which warrants a response like “Yes, attached 31-year-old man, that’s correct.” A few songs before that is a quasi-redemptive ballad “Foolin’ Around” he humbles himself, seems to take responsibility for his actions, then casually drops “Guess that’s just the man in me, blame it on celebrity.” The album’s catchiest uptempo song, “Lil Freak,” featuring Nicki Minaj, is effective despite itself, swiping the synthesizer line from “Living for the City” - a classic containing Stevie Wonder's most angered social commentary - for the sake of Usher’s lesbian tryst. Many of the songs on the album have to be taken on their own, stripped of context otherwise, determining what applies to Usher’s real and fantasy lives can be problematic. He pours himself into that song more than any other on the set, and breakup lyrics don’t get much more specific than “You don’t think I know what’s up, but sweetheart that’s what ruined us” or “I done damn near lost my mama.” The song was awarded the top spot on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, most likely for its lyrical uniqueness since the song does not break out of an exceptionally repetitive twiddle. “Papers,” the early buzz single for Raymond V Raymond, bears the closest relation to the turbulence he experienced. The making of Usher’s sixth studio album was inevitably affected by the end of his marriage and its aftershocks.
