All Good Things Must...

Greeting Fam! It's your Hustleman once again on the grind. It was kind of dreary and overcast today, but it was hot as hell. Most definitely the humidity. The sun even made a couple of quick appearances. I had a picture for today's post, but since Blogger is fucking with me as usual, it won't let me upload any images right now, I'll have to do this without one. Things are looking up on the hustle tip, but there has been a great loss to the team. The 16th of this month (technically the 11th) was the 2 year anniversary of my girl and I. Now before you start cheering and carrying on let me explain something to you.

This 2 year mark also was a time of reflection, you know, a review of the relationship up to this point. Since my lady has been in a state of self-awareness and growth it was only natural that she would finally decide what makes her happy and what she really wants out of life; and that doesn't include a relationship with me, fair enough.

The overall decision wasn't completely one-sided, I felt things had reached their height between us too. If the relationship isn't going anywhere, and there's nothing to hold on to, then why hold on?

Last night was the night we agreed to celebrate and we were out to do just that. A nice stop at Red Lobster (I love that seafood), and then a movie. A simple night out, nothing extravagant, alot of my money is going to get my new business up and running so I was ballin' on a budget, feel me?

After dinner it was time for the movie, since we couldn't find the movie we wanted to see because the theatre we went to seems to not be able to keep up with the movie game, we made our way back to the hood to hit up Magic Johnson Theatres. And it was on that ride that we both realized that this just wasn't working.

We talked in depth about where we should go now. Which is one reason I have love for my lady *cough* ex-lady, she doesn't live in the past too much, she likes to deal with now and the future.

Now there is no hard feelings, or even hurt feelings over this matter which is all good. We both just had to come to terms with the reality of the situation. We still agreed to have each others back and since we have always gotten along so well together we're trying to keep the friendship alive. To be real, the friendship was probably the strongest aspect of our relationship, which is how it should be.

I'll admit, it feels a little odd being a single man again after 2 years (again, oddly this was my longest relationship), but it is what it is. You know your Hustleman will keep it moving and keep it simple in the process.

Break ups can be rough but if you're both on some grown-up shit, things usually have a way of working out in the post relationship. So back to the grind and more focus on doing what I do. Back to the basics.

So what's up with the dating scene in the future? Hmm, you might have to miss me on that one for a minute. The dating scene is a trip and requires alot of time and patience. Patience I have if I don't feel like my time is being wasted, but it's alot of time I don't have to spare. That being said, I feel that everyday of this past 2 year was worth it. The good times far exceed the bad. If I had to do it again, then no problem. In the end her and I are just on seperate pages. But that's life isn't it? We all learn and grow and make decisions, it just so happens not everyone is headed in the same direction at the same time as youself.

And that's what's up Family. As always, much love to you all and thanks for stopping by. I'll do my best to return to you before Sunday Reflection but the grind is on me something serious right now. So until next time, peace! Keep it moving and keep it simple. Tomorrow is always a new day.
