One of my favorite Luther Vandross Songs is "A House is Not a Home". There's this metaphoric presentation of the word "House" which is not necessarily talking about 4 walls or a place to lay your head. And, there's no denying Luther's voice just puts you in that frame of mind of wanting a love that makes the house a home. Not just someone to love, but someone to love you back for all the right reasons; not the superficial ones.
Which brings me to this burning question, how do we find the keys to a happy loving home? I mean social media will have you so messed up looking for answers...everyone claims to have the keys...I see videos of men bashing men, /women bashing men, men bashing women and women bashing women all for likes and follows...No one is who they claim to be..The simple question "Are you single?" which to me only has one of two answers,,,yes or no, seems to now have all kinds of grey areas...LOL Just tonight I was talking with a friend and he worries about going into his 40's without a woman on his arms. But he also shared that he spent some time hurting woman on purpose because failed relationships in his past hurt him badly. Sadly, he's not the only one I've heard this from...
Whenever I see posts from people celebrating anniversaries or just acknowledging their significant others I always wonder how did they find their keys? You know the keys to open up your house to make it a home....
While I'm not going to claim that I have the keys (otherwise I probably would have written a book...) I do know what keys do not fit my locks (cuz I tried to wiggle them all kinds of ways and they just did not fit). I'm thinking that I may have stumbled upon one of the keys:
Learn from your mistakes ( in this context...know what keys do not fit the lock). Those mistakes had to be made in order to get to the right one...the right key.
OK, so maybe the real key is knowing that none of the keys fit at first...when the right one comes along, It just might have to be filed down just a little in the right places to make it ready to fit the lock.
That's my two cents from the hopeless romantic a few days before "V" day...
Like I ALWAYS say...Life is too short and tomorrow is not promised, make sure the ones you love know that you know that they are loved.
Thank you for your continued love and support...
