Daily Insight: A Woman Should Have

A wise man once said a lot of wise things in this one particular poem..but one couplet really stuck out to me. A wise man once said “A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .. a youth she's content to leave behind..... a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.... a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry..”

I feel as though I’ve been blessed enough to have all of those. Being 24 it may be encroaching upon that time to leave my youth I’m so content with to leave behind. Lord knows I’ve had a juicy past, not Maury “you are not the Father juicy..” but a “what happens in Vegas may pop up on the internet and you have to curse your friends out to delete it..” past. Damn sure don’t own a cordless drill, but I’ve always believed all you need is a hammer…if you hit something hard enough it’ll most likely start to work..I mean come one I'm no Bob Vila or anything.. If I didn’t own at least one black lacy bra I’d be most likely wearing Monday draws on a Wednesday, and no one would ever want to see them. (Dont act like y'all don't remember days of the week draws).

And I have too many friends to count on one hand who make me laugh, and just as many who will let me cry…especially after a few mimosas.

I hope we are all as blessed to be that woman one day.
