Buses

Most single women have heard the adage "men are like buses, one comes every 5 minutes". The same argument can be made against women: Women are like buses, if one doesn't work out, there's another one around the corner. This analogy makes a lot of sense because there's much truth in both statements. Not every (wo)man is the same, so if one relationship doesn't work out, big deal. Oftentimes, a failed relationship is a blessing because God is preparing you for the RIGHT person: (S)he will compliment you and vice versa. I'll never understand why some (wo)men focus on THAT one person. True, you thought (s)he may have been "the one", but you should've prescreened them after a couple dates to figure out if (s)he's right for you. If not, the option remains to be friends or part ways. Additionally, a bus comes along quite often, you can choose to ride or to walk. If you choose to walk, you become weary because you're wondering when the next bus is going to come along. Then again, all buses are not meant for boarding because you don't know what you may board. You could board a bus of confusion, or you board a bus of Love & Happiness (you like the Al Green reference). The important thing to remember is use discernment when deciding on what bus to board. There's a time to get involved with a person the minute they present themselves, and there's a minute to wait for the next bus. It can be difficult at times, but the wait is worth it. Most times, the best things in life are worth waiting for.

  1. That's not the attitude to have. Some people think that there will be another bus coming and it will however, that doesnt mean you should go from bus to bus. In other words, if a relationship has been given it's best and the other person doesnt want it or want you, then let go. Another bus, the right bus, MAY come along eventually. BUt if you just want any old bus, those are plentiful.

    1. Right. At some point, you should desire stability in your life. Going from bus to bus signals you have committment issues. You can't stick with one thing without jumping ship. There are times where you must bounce, but only after all other options have been exhausted.
