If there are things I see that I want to change, I develop a plan to work on them. If there are things I cannot change, I work to accept them.
“Do not live someone else's life and someone else's idea of what womanhood is. Womanhood is you." -Viola Davis, Oscar-Winning Actress
“I don’t give a damn about odds,” she says. “Odds don’t tell me what I can’t do. Odds just tell me how hard I’ll have to work to get what I want. Don’t allow anyone to make you feel less.” A wry smile quirks the mouth that so captivated me ten years ago.
“Then you have some tough decisions to make, and you should make them soon.” He bends to drop a soft kiss on my nose. “Because I won’t give up until you’re completely mine, Banner, and I won’t wait much longer.”
He was applying that PRESSURE
“I will let you help me on one condition,” he finally says. Whatever he wants I’ll give him and he knows it. “What?” I ask hesitantly, cautiously. “Put it on hold, whatever you have with him. Don’t take it any further.”
BITCH WHATTTTT!?!?!!!!! IM GAGGINGGGG
“In ten years, you’ve never let me down. You’re the most loyal person I know. And today, how you’ve stepped in, taken over, are sacrificing so much for me . . . I know this is what I want. You are what I want. What I need. Forever. I want to fight for you, but it seems I will be occupied for the foreseeable future fighting for my life. I cannot do both.”
Ths fact that i was about to rate this 3 stars is CRAZY!!! Im Shook
“I’m not expecting you to be in a relationship with me, or to sleep with me, but you can’t sleep with him either. He and I will both wait until I’m better and the fight is fair and the playing field is even.”
Son of a bitch blocked my shot.
When you walk through hell with someone, you burn, too.
“Good people may do bad things, wrong things,” he says. “But they are still good people,
“Banner is my opposite, but she’s my match.” My equinox.
Two ambitious, lost kids who found each other. God, we were so careless, as you often are when you’re young. You don’t value the things most precious, assuming the rare is common. But it’s not. We weren’t common. In all the years that followed, Banner was my yard stick, and no one else ever measured up. No one ever will. There are many amazing women around. I know that. I’ve met them, but it’s not just who Banner is, but who we are together. Who I am with her. I’d never fit with anyone the way I do with Banner, even though from the outside looking in, we might not make sense.
You challenge me. You stretch me. You never settle for less, and I love that about you. I love how high your standards are for people. For yourself; so high that sometimes you don’t even see what a good man you are.”
