Would I date me? KB: 10.18.14

REAL TALK from KB: A few months back I posted a blurb on a question I saw on the internet. The question was would you date you?

When I first asked the question I answered with a resounding "HELL NAW!" I've now come to realize that I answered that way because it was an absolute truth for me at the time. I was a mental and an emotional wreck. My self esteem was at an all time low;  I was dealing with anxiety and fear about a bout with cancer and I was in a full on grieving a  loss. I just did not feel worthy or remotely close to who I knew I was as a person, a co-parent or a potential partner.

Then I met someone who brought it all back for me in spades. would I date me? Ab-so-freakinglutely. I'm a damn good person. I'm a little eccentric and a damn bit squirrely at times; chalk it all up to the artistic noise and thought in my head that I've stifled for many years. I'd date me because I do little things as well as my OVER THE TOP things. I'd date me because I'm loyal. I'd date me because I'm willing to put in work to make things work; I don't say I love you easily so when I do it's magical. I'd date me because I believe in keeping commitments. I believe in constantly dating and wooing. It's a rule for: Don't start something that you have no intentions on continuing.



I'd date me because I've rediscovered all the things that made me datable
