I Decided… on Loyatly

FRIENDSHIP. LOVE. DEVOTION. FAITHFULNESS. These are all words synonymous with a virtue that at times is seemingly absent within relationships these days. I have been told many times throughout my life, and at one point, came to believe that “no man is faithful.” When speaking with men I’ve been told that “both men and women cheat, women are just better at it.” There were times where I’ve been shocked by hearing of infidelities within relationships that have surpassed its 20th year. That once this takes place, they somehow move on and rebuild. Is this the type of devotion needed in order to have a lasting relationship; that once betrayed you somehow find a way to stick with it?

I have decided that total allegiance by two lovers/friends isn’t an impossible feat. I know I am not the only soul who believes in unwavering loyalty based on a friendship where you hope for the other as much (or maybe even more) as you do for yourself. Everyone needs someone or something to be grounded to. Everyone needs a reliable support system (especially when they’re of the ambitious nature). And when it comes to building with someone and moving towards having a family, the unit is what matters beyond any singular, selfish desire.

Tolstoy said that “to say that you can love one person all your life is just like saying that one candle will continue burning as long as you live.” But to achieve greatness, one must believe in what others may see as impossible. I have decided that I am here to achieve greatness. What have you decided?

I give thanks to my friends and loved ones who show their unwavering Love and Loyalty. I recorded this over and over until my fingers were sore. Dedicated to you… a cover of Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me.” Enjoy.

  1. Word!!! I definitely want to achieve greatness myself. It’s really nice to know that I’m not the only person that believe in it. Plus I see it in my parents. They been married for 28 years and from my knowledge they have always been faithful to each other. A lot of people just decided to go with the wind, but it takes brave souls to know when to go with the wind and when to go against. I really like your spirit its very refreshing. Your topics are so on point. Oh and great song, your face expressions are priceless. Love the passion.
