Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Yesterday, as my kids and I opened gifts, I could not help but smile as I realized I received what I wanted. No, it wasn’t a man. Smile. It was what I have always longed for, but until yesterday, had not been able to fully articulate. The one thing I have always wanted is to be loved the way I love. To be loved unconditionally. And yesterday I felt it. It’s not like my kids have not always loved me. However, I always felt incomplete because I believed I needed the love of a significant other. Shaking my head – those crazy, yet wonderful, fairytales. Smile. Well, yesterday, their love was enough. I felt complete. Ironically, I don’t need the love of a significant other to feel complete. I already have everything I need. Imagine that! Y’all, it feels like someone flipped a switch from incomplete to complete. Life is so funny. Advice – don’t bother trying to understand it. Believe me, you will never figure it out.

Oh.. one of my gifts was a new suitcase. I screamed like a little kid when I saw it. My kids know me oh so well. I guess they are preparing me for my next chapter. It’s almost like they are kicking me out the nest. All smiles. I’m ready!

Also, one of my sisters got engaged, yesterday!!! I am so excited for her! God is good!

Thanks for reading and please enjoy the rest of the holiday season!

Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of holidays. Enjoy!

P.S. Santa did not deliver my gift, but I’m fine. I still have my babies (young adults) to love on. Maybe next year.☺️

Another Random Blog: Santa I Need Your Help

Shaun Bradford

Sitting here thinking about dating again. 2022 is the year I’m going to stop standing on the sidelines and jump in the game. COVID doesn’t seem to be going anywhere and I’m just wasting time waiting for things to go back to “normal.” Slowly but surely I’m coming to terms with this is it. This is how things are going to be from here on out. More than likely, I am going to meet my next significant other virtually. Question is, where do I begin?

Some of my friends have suggested online dating sites. Ugh!! I really don’t want to go that route. To me it’s like online shopping, I really don’t like it. I would rather go to the store so that I can examine the products in person. Then there’s social media. Y’all, I receive so many direct messages. My problem with those are, I cannot tell if the accounts are real. People have created fake accounts in my name so who is to say the person contacting me is who they claim to be. About a week ago, some guy with a suspicious handle started following me and sent me a DM. I probably spent 30 minutes trying to figure out if the account was real or fake. According to his profile he was a pretty successful business owner, and of course there was a website included to make the account look legit. And on the surface it did. However, there were a few red flags. The account was fairly new. Only a few pictures posted. He had quite a few followers and wasn’t following too many people (which was good). But he was only following women. Why?! Seemed creepy to me. Listen y’all, I almost notified the real person through the contact information on the website. I was going to let them know that someone was impersonating them. However, I didn’t. I let it go. To this day, I still do not know if the account was real or fake. Honestly, the social media thing is so creepy. I believe I would be more open to communicating if they sent video messages. I need to see and hear them.

Okay, back to my question, where do I begin? I’m trying not to do the timeline thing again (almost 50) but I am so tired of doing things solo. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with my girlfriends and kids, but I need adult male companionship, too. I need a male I can laugh with, eat with, travel with, have fun with, dream with and make memories with. Perhaps I should ask Santa to send me one for Christmas. Lol

Okay… I’m done. Hopefully this is my last random rambling blog for this year.

Take Care,

Shaun
