Coming Of Age

Defined as when someone reaches an important stage of development. It is also defined as the act or an instance of reaching maturity, which happens to be the perfect wording for this particular blog. As some may know Sammie has recently released a new album and one of the songs being 'COA'. I was introduced to this song at a weird time, not only in my life but by the person who'd done the introduction. There were so many ways to take this song, only because I'm a very analytical person. Once in my love life there was this person I felt things I have to this day never felt again. When we met he was in a mental place where we knew we'd have to wait. Like the young rebels we were, we went into it. I had high hopes, I was honestly a foolish HOPELESS romantic. I'll refer to this guy as Masquerade. Masquerade had his life planned out before I stepped in, he wanted to be married by 30, one more child a boy in particular, to be a 'P-Tech' in a chemical plant, and a wife who'd support him. In this 'relationship' I gave him more than I should have and I learned to let a man talk and listen to obtain, also not to allow someone to withdraw more than they've deposited. I was young and hoping this was my great catch. He wasn't, he used me. Once he got in a better position, I was only an ant in his process. In this relationship it taught me that some men literally want you for that exact moment, but what he didn't realize I meant more to him than he wanted to admit. Men think they can come back, ONLY if you let them. I'm no ones side or part time. I'm someone's all or I'm nothing at all. Coming of Age came too late for him, luckily I'm still that blessed woman God intended on me being. We as women should hold ourselves to a standard of power, after all we are the creators. #RobinsonsReview
