Hey, hey, I'm back. Listen. I heard some man, I
don't know who you was, but I heard some man talk about there is
no way men and women can be friends, just platonic friends. I talked
about this on one of my episodes before. It's been a few years ago,
so after hearing someone talk about it on their YouTube channel, I wanted
to come back and talk about it again since it's been a while. I
just hate when people put out bad information or information that's not true, because
men and women can definitely be in a relationship without anything happening. They can
be individuals who have a platonic relationship, even if it's someone that you've previously
been in a relationship with. When it's over, it's over. You don't
go and rehash old feelings. That's immature people. I mean, it's ridiculous
to believe a man and a woman cannot have a platonic relationship. It is
ridiculous to believe that any person who feel that a man and woman cannot have
a platonic relationship, you have some maturing to do. You definitely have some
growing to do, because they most certainly can, They most certainly can.
It's very possible I'm a witness. I'm living proof. I have several male
friends. I have one male friend. We go on vacations together. We
sleep in the same hotel room because he's single. I'm single. But and
I think I even mentioned this before on one of my episodes. But he
knows that there's boundaries. I know that there are boundaries. We're not trying
to push up on each other. We respect one another. We respect the
boundaries between us. We go on vacations together because we're both single and there's
things we want to do, so we do them together sometimes occasionally, and
we have a good time. And I'll tell him in a minute, you
know, if you see someone he kind of you know, I'm like,
hey, he's not my man, you know. I want them to know
he's available with no qualms about it. So I'm telling you one, it's
possible. And this guy also said that on his YouTube channel. He also
said that I don't care what anyone says. Although a man may not say
it, he's still thinking he want to get, you know, with that
woman. I just maybe I'm the sucker. Maybe I'm the person who who
does not get it. Because I firmly believe there are other people in the
world like me. I'm not the only one. I'm not the only mature
person in the world. There are mature men and women. I've had men
to come to stay at my house that I've been in relationship with before,
well a man, not men, but a man. But he knew before
coming that it's not that type of party. He know that that's old news,
and he understands that our relationship is not that way anymore. There never
will be. We don't talk about that. We don't reminisence about that.
Nothing. We just talk like friends. We don't get into well you remember
this. No, we don't dig up old stuff. I know I'm not
the only one. It is possible when people have matured beyond the way they
used to be, it is possible. It is very possible. It takes
a mature mind, a mature individual, two people who have matured beyond their
mess that they used to be in. When people mature and they have come
to be individuals who are better, they can do anything. When you have
boundaries, when you have self respect and understanding, when you know who you
are as an individual, it is possible. People stop believing that every man
is a dog. Stop characterizing yourself as a dog. Just because you feel
that way does not mean every man feel that way. I just don't believe
it. There are men who have women that they really love and all they
want is that woman. They gun and sown their wild oaks, and they
don't want to do that kind of thing anymore. They have matured and they
are happy with who they are with. There are men in this world who
are not just thinking about getting into bed with some woman and vice versa.
It irritates me that people are so shallow minded that all they think about is
flesh. No matter how much the flesh gets people into trouble, you still
have those immature people that that's all they think about. Boo. Just because
you think like that does not mean everyone thinks that way. Every man don't
think like you. Not all many, but not all. There are a
few good ones out there. I'm a woman and I'm saying it. I
know there is more than just me who feel this way. I believe there
are men who feel this way. I know good men I have very close
relationships with, for me and for different men that I've known since my children
were like three and four years old. For many years, my best male
friend I've known since I was fifteen and he was sixteen, So I know
it's possible for a fact, for a fact, and I'm not naive.
I know a lot of people do, and I know a lot of people
can't be friends because they are thinking about other things. But when you've matured
past that flesh, I'm telling you it is possible. Oh, very possible,
very possible. The person that I was talking about that came to my
house because he wanted to visit me, he knew before he got there the
way things were going to go, and he accepted it because he too have
matured and he respects me. So he came into town, spent the night
in everything, but it was like we never were in a relationship before.
So it is possible. People. Maybe I'm just a unique woman. My
focus is the Lord. It's not on trying to be with a man.
It's not about the flesh. Not to me, it's not. And I
know there are men who have mature past that as well. But for someone
to get on a YouTube saying all men there is not one man. You
don't know every man. I'm sure you know plenty who are just like you,
but you don't know every man, and it's wrong to put every man
in the same category because every man is not the same, just like every
woman is not the same. So many people in this world are immature.
They think they are mature, but just because they are adults, they think
they are mature. But they're so immature. They are so far behind what
they think they are, so far they're still thinking with their flesh, meaning
they're still chasing, chasing, chasing after their flesh. That's all they think
about, with what's in between their legs and not what is in between their
ears. That's all they think about. Married and single. That's in maturity,
That's what that is. That's drawn people who have not matured. That's
all it is. But when you get to a point in life where hey,
you've you've done, You've done what you've wanted to do, and plenty
of it, and you realize it's not everything. It's not It is not
everything all. Once upon a time I thought it was it. You couldn't
tell me it wasn't it. But I don't think like that anymore because I
know it isn't. Without a doubt in my mind, I know it is
not. And when you love the Lord and when you love yourself, you
will know it too. It don't mean to you what it used to mean
to you. And I know I may sound crazy to a whole lot of
people, but that's fine. I know you don't get it, and I
also know that you have not matured to that level yet. That's why you
can't fantom the thought that people can mature past wanting sex all the time,
making sex everything to them. When you understand who you are and you have
a true relationship with God and you truly love yourself, you see things differently.
You see things totally differently. Immature men and women. I'm not saying
nothing negative. I'm just saying there are immature men and women. I'm not
calling them bad people. I'm just saying they are immature. They have not
matured past their flesh. All they say is the superficial Men and women are
seeking the same things. Mature men and mature women are seeking similar things.
People think men want this and that and women don't. Immature women want the
same thing. They want the same things. Trust and believe. Be foolish
if you want to and think that, be foolish and think that men are
all dogs but women are not. Be foolish and think that there are immature
women. There are women out there who want it more than any man.
There are women out there who cheat more than any man. Society, have
you all bamboozled? I mean fooled big time? And seriously, I just
shake my head because I know it's a lie. It's not just men,
it's immature men and immature women, and men have been given a bad rap
forever when women are just as bad. That's worse because women have a way
of doing things and you will never know when me and all they ever do
is show their hand. Society, have you all bomboozled? And I wanted
to get on here and talk about it because it's sad. It's unfair and
it's foolish to put all men in the same category, just like it is
to put all women in the same category, stereotyping, giving false narratives.
It's just not right because it's not true you fit that category. But that
don't mean all men fit that category. It does not mean all men are
in the same boat. That does not just because you're still thinking like that,
feeling that way, acting that way, don't mean every man is Because
like I said, I have several male friends, and I mean we've been
friends thirty and up years. My best male friend we've been friends for forty
about forty forty one years. So I mean, it's no lie, it's
no I mean exaggeration, none of that. It's one hundred truth. That's
why I know it's possible without a shadow of a doubt. And hey,
you have the right to think how you please, but I guarantee you society
have bamboozled you for years and years and years about men and women and many
other things, many other things, plenty of other things, but especially concerning
men. Men have a bad rap because of society, when women are just
as bad and oftentimes worse, we just do it a different way. But
again, I'm speaking of immature men and women. Mature men and women don't
think like that, don't act like that. And I believe that because I'm
one and I know several and I'm sticking and stand with it. I'm standing
on it because I know it's a fact. But you can believe what you
want to believe is your right. I mean, you can see someone and
be you know, thinking to yourself, that's a nice looking man, or
you as a man, you could say that's a nice looking woman without wanting
to jump in bed with him or her. I mean, geez, If
you cannot look at a male or female without wanting to jump in bed with
him or without wanting to just have to have it, something is wrong with
you. Something is wrong with you. You have the wrong way of thinking.
You definitely have some maturity to do, definitely without a doubt, without
of doubt. And it's a sorry situation to have to go through life like
that, getting older but not maturing, not becoming better, still thinking the
same old, nasty way. I mean, it's but there are plenty people
who are like that, plenty again. I just wanted to address this because
I heard it yesterday and I was like, oh, I was grinding my
teeth because it's so ridiculous, and he was just so suring him of himself,
And to me, that's putting out bad information. Just because you can't
do it does not mean the next person can't do it. Just because you
don't believe it does not mean it's not true. Stop falling into the trap
the societies around the world have set. Because they've set plenty people are so
brainwashed and bamboozo people are so oppressed because of societies. When what is society's
made up of people? Broken? People? Broken people telling you how you
should look, what you should eat, how you should go through life.
You should be married with the white picking fenc and two kids. You should
have this in that title. You should be this small or this big.
Your skin should be this light or that dark. Your hair should be this
long, your eyes should be this color. I mean, brokenness doesn't discriminate,
So stop believing what's not true, because it definitely is not true.
Some men and women can definitely have a platonic relationship innocent. Every man that
a woman see does not mean she want him. Every woman that a man
sees does not mean he want her. Not every man a lot, but
not everyone, not every woman, every last one of us, every single
one of us have the opportunity to become better, have an opportunity to grow
and mature, but most people don't because they stay stuck in the same stagnant
mindset, thinking the same, feeling the same, acting the same. And
I know people who are well in their sixties still have the same mindset.
It's almost pathetic to see people get that old and older still doing the same
things. Chasing women, chasing men, peer of shame, peer of shame.
So again, before I go, just because you can't do it,
don't mean the next. And that's all I'm saying. You believe what you
want to believe. However you want to believe is your life. I'm leaving
it right there. Thank you for listening. Please check out Relatable Life Chronicles
