Rollercoaster Ride

Okay ladies and gents. I know it was a long commercial break, but I'm back now. If you haven't figured it out from my previous posts, I'm a person with a lot of passion, and I think it's time to focus that passion and be productive. I always say I'm going to do it, but this time I feel like I really am. This one's for the fam.

So tonight's topic: Why do we always want the opposite of what we have? And furthermore, why do we want the ones who don't want us? First off, as usual, I'm going to apply this to relationships. I always thought I wanted a man to pay me attention, to call and text me and want me to spend time with him, and I got a small glimpse of it, and didn't want it. Damn. And I say damn because I know if it was a nigga who didn't want me, a nigga I had to chase, I'd be ecstatic. So what's wrong with me? Do I have to feel an electric spark for me to have feelings at all? Why do I keep trying to catch the roadrunner if I know that I'll be the one hurt in the end? Why do I keep eating popeye's if I know it's going to clog my arteries sooner or later? And why do I climb up steep ass hills, when I can just walk the plateaus? Why do I live a thug life when I know I'm saved? I'll tell you why - it's the thrill of the chase, the taste of the meal, and the glory I feel when I reach the top of the hill, it's the rush I feel as I live each day as a thug. That's why. Don't feel bad about wanting what you don't have, because that's what drive is all about. You see something you want, and you go get it. When you've reached that goal, you find a new one. Same as in relationships. Now ultimately, everyone is looking for a lifelong mate, but this time in life is not the time to start that search. Enjoy the chase. A word to the fam - there are ups and downs and loops on rollercoasters, but if it was a straight ride, if there was no thrill, would we ride them?? You have to go down to get up, and vice versa. Enjoy the ride.
