Rules...Are...Made...To..Be...BROKEN!

As a woman, they are many "rules" that you learn along the way, that never seem to apply to men, or dynamic people, or strategic game players, but you still know that they exist.

For the most part, I play by the rules, follow the line, meet the expectations, and stay comfortably in my box, but..not always. There are a few occasions, that will tempt me over the line, and right now...I find myself facing a glass wall, that might have to be shattered.

I found myself..is this same exact place...almost ten years ago to be exact. I was hanging out with a great guy. He was extremely talented, but I drew no connection from him, or vise versa. He was simple minded, which isn't a diss, but it's just not enough to fan my flames, but he was fun...so I lingered, for atleast a little while.

Shortly afterwards, I met...his...friend...and there was instantly a forrest fire of flames, a mental connection, that I couldn't dismiss, and a passion that was unparalled. My first instinct was to "follow the rules," so every single time, he approached me, I quickly gave the prompt, and scripted response "I used to mess with your boy." Thank GOD, he kept pursing, because eventually...after telling the first guy the truth, talking to all mutual friends to fend off the "HOE" commentary, I surrendered to the most passionate love affair of my life.

And now...10 years later, I'm faced with the same dilemma, and deep in my heart, I know, that I'm going to break all the rules, because brilliant men come far and few in between, and I just can't pass up the opportunity to surrender, I know he's worth it, and life is too short, so I'm breaking the rules.
