MY STANDARDS AND I

So it me and my standards walking side by side, what can I say, she is my best friend. I mean we do everything together. We laugh, we love, we cry, and then we learn.  She has been there for me like I have been there for her. We know each other’s secret, goals, aspiration and dreams. I mean we have been best friends for the longest.  We have that special bond that will never break us.  Well until 2 weeks ago, when I meet GUY. He was everything I dreamed about, he was tall about 6.4” and man his swagger was on point. But standards didn’t like him very much, and she made that very clear to me.  I on the other hand felt like she was jealous, because for the first time in 6 months I finally meet someone who I was compatible with.  I mean she had no reason not to like him; she didn’t even get to know him. So I dropped her like she was a penny because I felt she was a hater. So GUY and i finally went on a date, it was good, and I enjoyed myself. We found out that we had more stuff in common than we thought. After wards GUY invited me to his house to chill and meet his friends. I agreed because I didn’t think anything of it.  We went to his house, we talked, I ask guy what he wanted out of this, and he said SEX. He said he did not want a relationship, just SEX. I felt stupid, standards was right all along. How could I have not seen it, I mean he knew all the right stuff to say to me.  So the next day I called standard, although she was mad at me she decided to listen. I told her what happen and instead of rubbing it in my face she was there for me. So I made a promise to her, to never let anyone or anything come between us.  This is my promise.

“I promise to always keep my standards, no matter how good or tempting something seems. I promise to always hold my head up high, because I know I am worth it. I don’t care how long it takes; I will never lower or drop my standards for someone, because I if they are good enough for my standards they are good enough for me".

I know a lot of people can relate to this because we all go through it. At some point in our lives we stop being who we are to please other people, or sometimes we get so lonely we learn to settle for less than who we are. I hope this inspires people to always be who they are, you don't have to change for anyone else.
