Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Any time you do what’s best for you, you’re doing the right thing. Sometimes that means hurting someone you love.
“Let me be a gentleman,”
I’d never deny that I was a gangsta . . . but I was a gentleman too.
“If a man is truly for you, he gon’ have a cape around his neck when it comes to you. He will actively do whatever he can to make you happy. You won’t have to ask. And if you do, you’ll only have to ask a question for correction once. If that corrected action doesn’t come, also revoke his access to you.
I’m very chalant. I care, I express, and when I really lock in on a woman, I become a little obsessed with her. That’s why I don’t date often. Not every woman is worth that kind of energy.”
I feel loved when a man is a true partner. When he puts forth effort and provides security in my place in his life and heart and stability for mine.”
Maybe I’m not mature enough but I don’t want to just appreciate a quick honeymoon phase of happiness with another man. If it’s not going to lead to my forever love, I don’t want it. I’m tired of wasting love and losing men I’ve shared parts of myself with that they clearly didn’t appreciate and deserve.”
Not only did I have a fine man by my side but a generous one too. A problem solver. A need meeter and way maker. A direct extension of God and His favor and blessings from Heaven on this Earth for me.
Every part of you will be safe with me, princess. I will protect your honor, your image, your softness as a woman, your mind, your peace—all of you. You’re safe with me.”
My response was triggered because of past relationships.
“I always wanted a companion for moments like this. I knew there was power in having the right person by your side, and I’m so glad I get to experience that now with you.”
There was a time I craved a man in the streetwear aesthetic. Now, nothing turned me on more than my man in a suit—and
There’s nothing worse than a man so hard he can’t be soft and affectionate with his woman.”
I knew one day I’d be brave enough to marry the right man who showed me life and my heart would be safe with him.
And all the trauma from your childhood won’t haunt you anymore because that little girl inside of you will be getting all the unconditional love, affection, validation, and support that she needs.”
I need to breathe, and I want my woman with me while I do.”
Fuck that. He was mine, now and forever, and I’d be damned if I let him leave me after giving me the best loving of my life. I believed Kaos was a man of integrity. A man of principle. A man of his word. If he told me this was nothing for me to worry about, I believed him.
“Just promise me that if you decide to leave for any reason, just leave. Don’t switch up on me. Don’t change the way you treat me. Just . . . give me a kind goodbye and leave.”
