The Heart of a Woman

The heart of a woman can be a safe place, or it can be a scary place, depending on her mood and her situations at a particular time. Our hearts are like the brains of our emotions.

Men must be willing to accept these things if he is going to be truly there with us. I admit it is a challenge, but we all must learn about the person with whom you are going to spend time.

I once was in a relationship with a young man. He knew I was head over hills in love with him, but he did not care. He took my love—and me—for granted, but he made me feel anything less than a human being but yet I continued to stay with him, trying to convince him that I was the one for him. Even so, he would just laugh and make fun of me. He knew that I was sick with love for him, so it was easy for him to treat me like shit—and I was willing to accept that, just so that I could say that I had a
