Let's Not Get Comfortable

A lot of times in relationships people come close to the word comfortable. Not only men, women do it too! Many times when couples (normally young couples) are together for a long time they start forgetting what appreciating the little things can do. The men may forget about the flowers he use to bring her every Wednesday, the twice a month special dinners they use to have, or even the saturday night salsa lessons they arranged. Hold on now, because the women are as bad as the men, and if not worse! Women forget saying thank you, they stop appreciating the little things their man does for them, and they especially demand more of what they already don’t deserve.

Let’s define this word comfortable for all you folks who are acting as though you don’t understand. Comfortable consist of producing or affording physical comfort, support, or ease. So from that let me use it in a sentence….hmmmm….just listen to the song comfortable by Lil Wayne and Babyface. Someone I know has a problem with their lover being comfortable. At the beginning they were always together, she was all on him, said thanks to all his comments, and did little things that makes him smile. Because of the comfortable state she is in, they are no longer happy as it first began. To keep a relationship going so that it crosses the finish line for first prize, you must continue to keep the same speed you started with. Do the same things you use to do, and add something new to the plate every once in a while. Like having a couples night with other young couples every 3 or 4 weeks, not to compare your relationship with theirs but just to get some other type of insight on the same topic. Maybe some romantic dinners, random meetings with your partner after or before work, trips to jazz clubs or poetry nights (playing dress up), and even walking on the beach (septic areas for those in the ghetto) or during the sunset for an hour or 2 (or your neighbor’s bright escalade headlights for those in the ghetto). Relationships are often built on love and trust, but is held together by sincerity and confidence. Words to young relationships, please do not let things go by, keep all the loving things you do for one another stay deep in your heart and visible to your love. I hope this helped someone and please leave comments. Oh yea, and trust if you ain’t doing it right somebody will!! Don’t take advantage of what you got because things will slowly slide away from you like consciousness after eating big macs and mcgriddles for 5 years straight lol.
