Well a dear friend wrote me this letter and thus everyday when I wanna contact him.. I don't. It helps me remain strong. I think there is a lot of points that can help other women too, thus me making it public. Enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; (Sat at 12:26pm)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For sure girl. The "L" word makes it 100x more complicated, but it shouldn't make you value yourself less. It shouldn't make you accept treatment or behavior that you would NEVER allow otherwise. It shouldn't make you settle, or overlook things that you KNOW aren't right... That's the hardest part, letting go. Cause it's such a warm, safe, GOOD feeling to be loved by someone, but we shouldn't cling to that love if it's not 100%. There are so many different levels of love, and a lot of young girls are willing to accept a fraction of man's love just to have it, but that's not right. Don't settle for 25%, 50% or even 95%. IF he is not 100%, and you are, then remove him from your life. Because a selfish man, even if he knows he's not 100% in love with you, will continue to accept ALL of the love, affection, labor, whatever that you put into him, and still find a way to walk away with a clear conscience. And it's BULLSHIT. But at the same time, we have to stop letting them do it to us. A person can only hurt you as much as you let him or her. So nip that shit in the bud NOW girl. Its gonna hurt like hell for the moment, don't get me wrong. But realize that you are doing this for YOU. Because if you keep letting this person back in at their convenience with their paltry half assed excuse for "Love", not only are you hurting yourself more, but you're showing the person that you value them MORE than you value YOURSELF. And unfortunately they will see that weakness and therefore continue to use you whenever it's convenient for them...SO, that's my lecture for the day. LOL. I only say these things as a friend, an older person, and someone who has experienced this herself. Luckily i am surrounded by strong, smart, beautiful women who love me and lecture me on a daily basis, and their advice is GOLD. So whenever i can, i pass that advice on to my girls, even when they haven't asked for it! LMAO!Put DESI first always. Cause when you find the right man, you will KNOW it. There will be no questions, no doubts about his feelings for you. Because he will be wearing his 100% love for you on his sleeve. And when you feel that 100% you will look back on all these 25% niggas and be like DAMN! But don't regret these small excursions now, because they are what will make you appreciate your 100% when you find him! You are young, gorgeous and have your whole life ahead of you.

Julio said "i feel like i keep constantly disappointing you and im tired of it" wow so why dont you fix it buddy? lol he agreed to meet w/ me which he was "too busy" to do and has ignored me since. what i think is funny is he had the nerve to say he loves me LMAO not in love but LOVES ME DESIREE L. OBANDO as a person.. yea fucking right lol he also says he cares, more bullshit. i know for a fact people who care never ignore the person they care about. even if you think they are annoying, you just let them know "dude your being annoying" i have heard alot of comments about his behavior. and anyone who knows me knows how i am when im involved i go hard! i did everything under the sun for a man who wasnt mine, but i wanted to see him happy(i kno selfless).i have saved messages in my phone of him acknowledging that he was spoiled, and i am the woman who did it. he wanted for nothing,but he also DID nothing for me. the funny thing is he practically begged me to spill my guts. "i wanna know you" or "i wanna understand you" blah blah blah, so i do it. i let him in.. and for what? for him to dead me? i know i did nothing wrong in this situation so i dont feel any type of way about writing this. i know im slightly unstable.. its part of my charm. he has a daughter. all i have to say is karma is a BITCH. be careful of the things you do to women and with women. she has to grow up one day. when its done to her you wont even be able to be mad @ the guy, why? because you will remember the girls you did it to. i know for next time to truly truly be cautious of who i choose to share myself w/ because i def dont ever want another julio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW: i asked if he wanted to be fuck buddies (he said he valued me too much HA!)&lt;br /&gt;also i asked if we were still sexing @ the moment i got no answer... so gay&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so for the record. DESIREE is single.. and looking :-) if you know anyone lol you know what to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yea BY THE FUCKING WAY.. CUT OFF SHORTS ONLY LOOK GOOD ON GAY MEN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;last but not least. im still young.. its an amazing feeling. to my future husband where ever you may lie, i dream of you every night and no man has been able to fit in to your tux yet.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127057093520002499-7102766642277132584?l=teacupstarr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://teacupstarr.blogspot.com/feeds/7102766642277132584/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://teacupstarr.blogspot.com/2009/08/honesty.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5127057093520002499/posts/default/7102766642277132584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5127057093520002499/posts/default/7102766642277132584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://teacupstarr.blogspot.com/2009/08/honesty.html' title='honesty..'/><author><name>teacupstarr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00250334555298684876</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PlRrSf07w8A/SajKky6xDRI/AAAAAAAAABM/xp6bjVXUeV4/S220/beach2.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127057093520002499.post-8600840807968101991</id><published>2009-08-04T19:21:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T19:25:56.675-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Uhh so right now...</title><content type='html'>For all those who havent heard.. I was recently let go. From an investment I had made. Its sad when someone doesn't really see where your coming from. I put a lot into tht relationship. I will wisely think before I do that again. So I was told this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You know I care about you right? @ the core of it I truely deeply care" you care soooooo much.&lt;br /&gt;That you smacked me w/ your words and spit disappointment in my face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for the facial. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly this is how I feel...

It was a cloudy day. My outfit matched the weather. We locked eyes. His scarf was gay. His haircut wack. That smile. Hello. Business card. Not his own. Call you on the telephone. His dinner sounds nasty. Brush off brush off. Now we meet. Your enthralled. Asked to marry me. I leave for a week. I stand u up.u skip over me. I'm cool as sound. You ask for role reversal. To the kitchen I go. I ended up gettting fucked. Over.over.over.over.again sexually explicit open provocative. New beginning. Shock. And anticipation. Let down. Let down. What cud be the reason?. Is he cheating? Imnot his girl. Ima girl in his world. Ima pawn in a game. It ended up all the same. I'm uneducated. I'm not black. I'm unemployed. I feel him on my back. I'm good for a money shot. I'm good to spend my bread. Keeping you happy. Super well fed. Leaving me alone more than once. I'm not your type. We won't work. I can't see. Is it all lies? I get a text message. I can't be w/ you. No more. Well is tht so? His reasons didn't hold up. But ima hold up. I was good in private. That we both know. This is the end of our story. All because he didn't know what he had lost. A soulful miss w/ a lot of love to give. The world in her hands and honesty on her lips. Passing up a diamond is something only fools do. But I guess if he knew he wud be getting me appraised. Instead ill leave my memory of him in this glass of chardonnay.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
