Younger vs The Older

When you are young and involved with an older male or female in a relationship, it takes a toll on your mind and body. You get tired and want to escape this relationship, but you don't know how. You get bored with the relationship because they set in their ways. Most of the time, it's the same ole same.

When I was 18 years old, I got involved with a 27 year old guy. At first, I enjoyed the gifts, eating out, movies, and being showered with love. Love making was off the chain. But everything began to be a repeated pattern. Then he began to accuse me of cheating all the time, even though I was with him 24/7. When I wasn't at work or school, I was with him. I ended up pregnant. Before I found out I was pregnant, I was thinking about ending this relationship because it was really draining. My escape was I ran back to Georgia. Once I learned he was the one cheating, I kept my baby. She turned out to be a successful and beautiful young lady that I am proud of.

I lived this so I can relate to what the younger people are going through if they have chosen an older mate. People who have not experienced this don't know it's draining and wears you out. That you look happy on the outside but tired in the inside. Sometimes, it's better to stay within your age bracket so you can grow together as a couple in a timely manner. Growth needs to take a period. So it can effective to your life.

Sometimes we choose things and people that causes us to grow too fast. You can take me. At an early age, I was forced to change diapers and baby-sit from the age of 11 to 13 years old. So my growth was cut completely off. This was not teaching me how to do anything healthy. It was teaching me to be adult before my time. So I didn't get to enjoy life like the other children in the neighborhood. When I got into my adulthood, I was very immature. I wanted to do things that I would have done at that age.

So don't let nobody force you to grow up in any area of your life too soon. Remember: a rose is beautiful when developed in a timely manner. Just imagine if this rose is forced to develop too soon. Something is going to be missing.
