Quantities of Life

How much is too much?
How soon is too soon?
How late is too late?

Just amongst my questions about the quantities of life. And this can be applied to a spectrum of things. Love. Goals. Relationships. Food. You already know food had to get thrown in.

How much is too much? How much bull shyt do you have to tolerate from someone or something before you let go, say fuck it and / or fuck em up. Be passive about it? Cry a little bit. Pick up the pieces. Keep it moving. Love too much? I don't quite think that you can love too much but if you love something to the point where it clouds the better judgment in matters... Yea, that is a bit much.

How soon is too soon? From a relationship standpoint. This particular question regarding said standpoint is hard to describe. First thing- how soon should one get into a new relationship? Weeks, months, years.. what? I know some people who love being in relationships. I have no problem with that. What i have a problem with is people who feel the need to be in one to assess self worth. That is the worst. With that being said, i feel like they should be the main ones not jumping into new relationships anytime soon just because I think they should learn how to enjoy being single. Purely my opinion. I broke up with my ex July 09. I have been with Greg officially for about a month (we met in august). That's almost 2 years for me. Why so long for me? Aside from the fact i typically avoid relationships like the plague, I needed to make sure that I was ok and not extremely bitter regarding my break up and wanted to keep the amount of proverbial baggage limited to a clutch. I did, I have Greg, and I are Happy =)

But for people who are coming out of extremely long relationships? How soon is too soon for you?

Second thing- How soon is too soon to be chillin with your ex. Let's define chill. Movies, dinner, maybe a lounge for a drink. Kicking it wherever. Nothing romantic just relaxed atmosphere. I had a bad day the other day and long story short my ex was like "maybe i should take out my homie D Nice to cheer her up" .. I said that's nice of you.. he said "Well since you insist, where would u like to go" ... I didnt quite respond.. Hell, I didn't even ask him to take me out... He later proceeds to tell me wear heels. (because he likes ladies in them *steups*)

PAUSE

Dinner? Fine. Heels? Arrrr *Scooby Doo Voice*

Lemme put you on game. This is my ex; for whom I couldn't give a damn about for the past 2 years and up until last week i have never looked at him without a feeling of disgust. Sean (my ex) has a GF. I could care less. He ain't seen her in a month and change because she is pledging. Again, IDGAF. But because I feel down, he volunteers to take me out. *raised eyebrow*

Now you know and I know that i have no intentions of giving that boy anything more than civil conversation and a hug at most. But even so, I asked 4 people for advice. Take up the offer for free dinner (nom nom nom) or decline due to the fact im in a brand new relationship and have respect for Greg. All said no. I had my doubts about it to begin with. I mean, if I have to deliberate over something as simple as dinner, I shouldn't go anyway. I kindly declined and he said the offer stands and can be cashed in at any time. I asked him why doesn't he take out any of his other lady friends. He said he had none that he wanted to take out. He is not as much of a ladies man as he thought he was.

BIG. FUCKING. HA.

Above all that, Im glad that we are on speaking terms. But I aint going back to Sean. He is and ex for a reason. Besides, Greg is awesomer. =)


How late is too late? 2 minutes. 15 minutes. 3 hours. A few days. One weeks. Months. Years.....


I dont like lateness. Never did. I roll up to my job 10 minutes late because I know there are no consequences and why am I in an office at 9 am knowing ima be here alone in silence until at least 9:30 .. Yeah.. NEXT.. I dont like people who have no regard for my time and are late if we are meeting up. That was a major qualm in college. Niggas... always wanna be fashionably late..

I can get over things like that. Late apologies, not really. Depending on who it's from. Money returned late? hell no. Ungrateful shoesbrush ass negros. Im not concerned about the money really. More so the principle of things, but these days alot of people are lacking scruples. Late apologies are amongst the worst thought. By the time you get them you are usually 1- over it or 2- bitter about it and then it boils down to the apology meaning not one thing. I speak from experience. Oh well.. such is life.

Too much. Too soon. Too late. It varies for people. I know what works for me. Find what works for you. As they say "Too much or too little of one thing is no good"

And for today's challenge
