Two Good Wings
I often compare the women I attract to baby birds with broken wings. I am a magnet for girls that need a bit of nurturing. Maybe they have a severely broken heart. Maybe they are jobless. Maybe they are homeless. Maybe they are esteemless (yes, I just made up my own word. shoot me).
I know how to help them get back in the sky again. I’m a natural nurturer. I know what to say and what to do to make a woman feel whole. I’m good at ego stroking. I can be supportive. I can help build you up.
I realize that I can relate to those women a little bit easier than the woman that’s got everything together. I know the struggles. I know what it feels like to feel like you’re not enough. I know what it takes to make yourself feel better…
These uninjured birds…
They are flying high…
They are showing off cutting back flips and ish…
What do I do with them?
And how do they relate to me?
I find myself slightly biased against them. How are they ever going to understand me? I assume that they are automatically going to look down on me just on principle. I often feel like it’s easier to walk away from these women before they get the chance to reject me.
It’s not fair to them & it’s not fair to me.
Wow sis. We talked about this, but reading it really reminded me of the kind of woman you are. I think of all the times when I’m ready for to drop some lose, but I never realize the profound impact you have on them. You are phenomenal. I only hope that when you need someone to be the air beneath your wings, you know where to turn. *jumps on couch and raises hand* Thank you for being you..
why are you always trying to make me cry?
This, I can understand. You remind me of how challenging it is to find someone who is not perfect, but is perfect for you (you being universal, of course). I tend to find woman who are either way to soft or way to hard–neither I work very well with.
I didn’t see it that way, but you’re definitely right…
