My Black Baggage

A shift in my opinions about love and romance has occured. I dont think this is because of new love or past disappointments... though then again, I'm sure I've been affected way more than I care to admit.
Anyway somehow I have taken on a new perception because I have seen, felt, touched and tasted true love. I know its texture, I know its affect. I am familiar with its possibilities and I know it because I truly love....me.
Now the people who really know me will tell you straight, I was'nt always this way. I have transformed into a different person than I was months back, and thats a great thing (dont get it twisted I was a great person before, but now i'm even better..lol).
The true love and acceptance I have come to know within myself is deeper than I ever imagined it could be. I've been comparing my self-love to the love that I crave from a man. My "fantasy" no longer involves "falling in love" just for that butterfly/ rollercoaster sensation that I became hooked on before. Now dont get me wrong SistaLova has NOT stopped loving and become a angry black woman! I'm just saying I think that the cliche is true, to really love someone else you must love yourself! Lol..i cant believe i just said that! I dont know what is happening to me, maybe i'm still high off that New year spirit!
The real reason why I wrote this post occured earlier this week, when I had a brief meeting with "Mr Small" (a person you will read about, in a later post!). He asked me if I was seeing someone, usually I would have played some sort of mind game and not really answer his questions. But my answer was simply no. I actually felt good when I said this, because I realised I was no longer the silly little girl who played games and tricks. What made me feel even better was that I think he noticed to, I would catch him just starring at me as if I was a different person. Someone he had never spoken to before.
I know myself better than anyone else and the truth is, I carry alot of baggage around with me and I'm pleased to say that right now I'm In a much better place.....It can only get better!
