-Titles-

"I don't like titles..."

What does that statement mean really. Your name is a title, your job position is a title, you being a son or a daughter/someone's child is in itself a TITLE. So why are some people, who have been given titles ALLLLLL their life, all of a sudden opposed to titles? Its because it's not necessarily the titles that people are opposed to but the stipulations that generally come with the titles. People feel that while seeing someone casually, if they then take it to the next level and start referring to each other as "my girlfriend" or "my boyfriend" then all HELL breaks loose! It's like "Oh...so we're a couple now right? (b/c you weren't before?) Well then you need to be doing this, and doing that and no more of this and that shit ain't gonna fly no more B!" That's where the fear comes from. Why do things have to change, the only thing that should really change is what you introduce each other to your friends and family members as. The way you act shouldn't change for the worse but for the better. I don't know why title's make people feel like they need to demand more from the other person. If they weren't doing enough before then why did you let it go this far? You think the title is gonna upgrade them? Wrong! And you're only making it worse! In the end titles aren't the enemy, but its whether or not you let the title go to you head and YOU become the enemy. I'm sure some people are reading this and wondering well if title's don't change anything then why do you need them? Its just easier to have them, especially when someone asks "so who is this young lady/man?" oh this is my friend ______(<--insert name HERE). When in all actuality they are more than your friend and you wanna SHOUT IT FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS b/c you just think that they are soooooo adorable, blah blah blah WHATEVER. Plus if you did with all your friends what you do with that extra special one....well then that would make you a Blazing WHORE! Whether it be your boo, shuga puga, sweetie pie, wifey, hubby, main 1, mister or misses......maybe that person wants to give you a title to let them know you mean more to them than just another friend.....they can make a friend every day they live if they want to, but they won't make one like you! Warms your heart doesn't it? Ewwww.....lame!
