God said, "It isn't good for man to be alone."
This is true. But man was alone for a period before God created the woman for him.
A man needs time to discover himself and who he is. Women need that time too.
Folks that jump around from relationship to relationship never get that moment to really truly learn who they are.
I learned peace when I realized that as long as I was looking for a woman to make me happy, that I would be unhappy. I grew to learn that the only thing a woman could do was enhance the happiness I already have. She can't be the source of my happiness.
Once I learned that, it was a cheat code at life. I'm at peace and happy with ME first and foremost. Then that puts me in the right mindset for a woman, because I'm not looking for her to be the source of my peace and happiness. Just for her to add flavor and enhance the happiness I already have.
