Certain things in life are undeniable.
This summer, I've had the joy and the privilege of being able to spend time with the wisest people I've ever met. From them, I've learned things that have changed how I look at the world, and how I look at myself. There is no greater gift that anyone can give.
Foremost among these revelations is self-confidence, as in believing in myself and my gifts, and accepting and amending my vices. In this, I've realized a main point:
I am the greatest man a woman will ever know.
Yes, that sounds arrogant, and I know I am not perfect. However, I own my shit, and whatever drawbacks I may have, I wholly make up for in pluses. So, again, I am the best man a woman could ever settle down with. I listen, I support, I have compassion, I express, I take risks, I defend, I love deeply, I entertain, I own up, and most importantly, I commit. I don't fuck around in relationships, as I've had my share of flings, and have found nothing but emptiness and frustration.
I'm not offering an ultimatum, or getting defensive. I'm merely stating what I think is obvious, and what should be expected out of all relationships. Relationships are always fifty-fifty, and I'm always willing to put in my half as long as the other half is taken care of; but even if it isn't, I don't run. I stop and ask, and try to work out the problem. The majority of relationships, in my opinion, fail because a lack of patience and self-discovery. Know thyself, and you will know others.
The greatest rewards require the greatest risks, and it is no different when applied to relationships. I know that for my part, I'm willing to step out of my comfort zone; to give myself to someone else in hopes that I will be met half way.
So if you believe in yourself and are willing to take a chance, you'll find the rewards out there awaiting you are greater than you could possibly imagine. It just takes a little arrogance, class, and stupidity.
