I do agree with you that you can never truly run from who/what you are. Men are such interesting creatures...people, actually. We often miss that folks don't really respect people who change to please others. Yeah, you may think you're getting love and attention, but you've just identified yourself as one who can be manipulated. It's such a bad thing. I understand wanting to be attractive to men. Nothing wrong with that, and it's nice to be thought of as attractive. But when the makeup comes off, and the hair reverts to its natural state, I don't wanna have to hide from a guy. I would want to be loved for me..and if I had to wait till the end of time to get that love (from a man), I'd wait...till the end of time. Loving an illustion is just that...it's never authentic. It's not real. Thanks for stopping in to comment! I do agree with you that you can never truly run from who/what you are.

Crenshaw Fri, 28 Aug 2009 03:16:51 +0000 http://nappilyevahaftah.net/?p=623#comment-7548 I was passing by and saw this post and had to comment. Thank you so much for writing this. I agree with everything you said. I'm 55 years old and have been natural for 30 of those years. I don't regret it for one minute. i read the comment from the woman on the other blog. I get the feeling that wearing her hair natural was not a part of her. When something is really part of you and you try to deny it, it will not work for long. You will be miserable. It happens all the time. Women change who they are to be with men and when they have had enough they end up divorced, or not in a relationship. I was passing by and saw this post and had to comment.
