Can You Be UnBroken? For the love of love-

Well dang if somethings don't happen in perfect timing. So I took it upong myself to have a movie night...I know someone who has seen every movie that exists just about. And for that person to recommend a movie, I thought it would be worth a try...

Getting to 25 a lot of stuff has occurred to add to a frame of thinking, that I admit has not always been probably adding to the good. I can't speak for all young black women because we all truly so different. My personal experiences might be similar to other young black women, but you know we are all different. So I watched 3 movies...Why Did I Get Married, Not Easily Broken, and The Family That Prays. Okay too much at one time I know... but it honestly touched me in a good way.

A. Love is not something that is easy. But yet and still we all have this concept of a fairy tale. Lol thank you Disney for that...but in reality its nothing like that, I mean most of the things that we want out of life take time and work, so why do so many people think love is any different.

B. There are a lot of ways we get hurt...well let me not speak for everybody, there are a lot of ways I have been hurt. Believing sweet nothings, thinking that actions mean things that they don't, listening to friends, letting your past dictate your every move, trying to avoid letting your guard now..all in the name of hoping that this time it will be different. I guess what I'm trying to say is hurt is a part of love. I guess you can't to the real thing without it....and shoot I guess love has a tad bit of hurt in it ( just a tad though)!

C. Running from the past. For me, my past with males and love has had little trust and presence. So me I tend to have a hard time trusting and believing that through it all, someone will remain there through a situation. Its crazy how the past can still creep its way into the present. Its not easy to decide you are going to keep your past in its place, and that is definitely a challenge!! But I think the best decision anyone can make is to let the past be.

D. Don't get me wrong, I know they are just movies...and I'ma take it for what it's worth. Some women want to be at the top of their career, some want to be the perfect house-wife, some the mom, some the independent diva, and I guess some all of the above. God blesses us all uniquely, and I do believe he does this in so many different ways. I believe he does answer the deepest hopes of our hearts whatever they may be, just not always in the ways we expect.

E-Z- lol expect to get hurt sometime. I guess it makes us all stronger in the long run, to get what you want...expect to do what you never did... let the guard down, show the imperfections, be real...in reality I think dreams are allowed to happen.....and if your dream is love, let it happen and it just might!

So to the person who recommended this movie...who also hapens to have taught me a lot about all of the above- thanks

  1. ok so I'm definitely feeling E-Z..."to get what you want...expect to do what you've never did"...I couldn't have said it better mayself...A lot of times we get so caught up in how we always do things and our set little "plans" or "methods" of how we love, like, or get to know a person...but I'm a fan of trying new things, opening up, taking a chance!..b/c you never know if you dont try and you can only get so much if you arent willing to give....after all isnt that what love is about??..give and take...so yes sometimes its okay to let your guard down...if you're gonna love, love hard!...otherwise whats the point??
