The conversation started fairly innocently. Here we were, my friend, 24-years old... her birthday, and feeling blue. Really? "You're 24 and feeling blue?! You are young and gorgeous!"
But, she was. You see her boyfriend had forgotten her birthday. I guess age doesn't matter when it comes to an inattentive man. "You are young, gorgeous, and deserve so much more." I said, and I meant it. Ladies, a man that does not put you first regardless of your age is not for you. It's that simple. Never, ever settle!!!
Men move mountains, start wars, build "wonders" of the world for women. We are it! When a man is into you he will do whatever it takes, and he won't forget. He simple won't forget. He won't put you second, he won't leave you behind, and he certainly will get you beautiful flowers and a cup cake on your birthday. Regardless of age, this he will make you feel like a Queen.
And, let's get it straight, it's not about money. It's about love, romance, and what makes you smile. It doesn't take much to impress us.
So, my advise on your 24th birthday and at any birthday; it may be time to take a break... not necessarily break up, but take a break. It's a new year, a new day, an brand new clean canvas and you are the artist holding the brush and the pallet! Create the world you want! And, never, ever settle!
"Maybe it's time for a break?' I said... "not a break up, just a break. See where life takes you!"
Happy Birthday! And, of course, Cheers!
