Decoded

Not to long ago, Facebook reminded me of a post I did a year ago. It said,

"This goes out to no one in particular but I just want to address this only cause I love yawl and me and I would like it to stop. I don't do codes and secret messages and most times i miss social cues. Tell me what you want me to know and quit getting mad at me cause I haven't figured out what you are trying to tell me. Save us both the trouble just and tell me. I have suffered with this as far back as I remember and I refuse to step in that direction again. You are no longer allowed to get mad at me because my mind reading abilities are busted. As you were :p"

Funny I had to address this just the other day. I'll tell you about it in a creative non fiction kind of way.

He said, "I'm trying to say what I want to tell you without being offensive".

I said, "I don't get what you are trying to say to me. I'm not good at decoding messages so you'll just have to come clean and just say it".

In no particular order or exact wording he said, "I'd f*ck you. I wouldn't mistreat you either. Or take advantage of you afterwards. I'm not meaning to sound harsh but I want you to understand that you are beautiful the way you are. Wanting to lose weight and be super thin is a white woman's thing. Real black men understand what our women posses and we like it. Now if you want to lose weight for anything other than vanity I'd understand. But please know, you are fine the way you are and I'd f*ck you, I'm serious about that".

(Ok, that was overwhelming, what was the code for that again???)

"I wanna lose weight cause my knees hurt", I said. "Oooo look at that magazine, what do you think it is trying to tell me?"

"I don't know, Proverbs 3:5 it" 5 minutes later "I wasn't kidding, I'd f*ck you...."

Oh brotha, if that was the only thing I wanted from a man I'd have to reward your honesty with...let's see...maybe a...RESPONSE. I'd honor your honesty with a response. Maybe I'd say thank you if I wasn't stunned by your decloration. I appreciate your attempt to make me feel good about my body, which by the way I don't feel bad about, my knees hurt. I don't want to be a f*cked woman, I want to be a kept woman.
