Hooked Up


Hi singles! I know that I've been away since my last published blog 2/15/2021. Alot has been going on since then, and somehow I experienced writer's block and... I had somethings on my mind. You know how it is and can be. You just have those times when you just need to steer away for a while, so that you can bounce back right. Well, that's what it has been for me. So, I want to thank you for being patient with me as I had to take some time away and rest, & reflect.


So, let's get into it. Let's talk about hook-ups. Tell me something, do you like being hooked-up? Do you like it when your friend(s)/family tries to hook you up with somebody? Have you experienced this before or even been hooked-up? Well, I sure have. I've experienced someone close to me trying to hook me up with someone and I was like ummm.... no.... like awkward moment. Now, y'all know I'm old school and I'd much rather things happen naturally, in God's perfect timing. It's cool when someone thinks you're perfect for someone else or them for you but let's just be honest it doesn't always work like that. For some, it does and for some, it just... don't LOL! I very recently had a brief conversation my friend and we were discussing the topic hook-ups. She told me that her husband has a friend that she thinks I would pair with well but she made sure to let me know that "hey sis, this is not me trying to hook y'all up, I was just saying that I think y'all would make a nice couple." She assured me that she does NOT hook people up for the simple reason that what if the you and the person don't work out, then that means that the person who did the hook- up is like looked at in a not so nice way now... it's like they get the blame for putting two people together or introducing two people that didn't work out. Now what do you do?


Well, as my sis & I was having this conversation, I totally understood where she was coming from because neither would I be involved in being the chairperson of the hook-up committee. My sis said "look, I'm not the one to hook up folks, I am not the Holy Spirit". I laughed and was like, nuff said. LOL! However, I do know that there are people that actually hook up other people and some of those hook ups turn out to be healthy and long lasting, meant to be relationships. So, I am not in any way knocking the hook-up set-up, I'm just stating that it works for some while on the other hand, it doesn't for others.


There are even people who shy away from and don't like the idea of someone trying to hook them up, because that can make a person seem like they are desperate and like me, everybody single AIN'T desperate, some are now not all of us. However, for those who just can't be single for too long and just has to have someone then those are the ones who don't necessarily mind being hooked up, even if it is for a few days LOL! Some people actually like quick hook ups and don't want anything else... Some of us want quality, long-lasting relationships not handy dandy hook-ups for one moment in time. Like, can I get my forever for always? LOL!


There are some successful relationships, engagements, and marriages that has all happened by way of a hooker upper situation, I can honestly say that I know some. I'd put it like this, "it's the hook up for me, and I'm speaking specifically about those hook-ups that has been successful. So, if I were you, I wouldn't count it out, because as long as you remain prayerful and know what you want, you will experience your one true love whether that's through a hook-up or another way, just continue to embrace your singleness and try not to be in such a hurry because that's when your people want to get you hooked up the most and sometime that hook up can really get you somebody that's sho'nuff hooked up. LOL! I had to end this with a laugh.


Well, that's all for now, I didn't want to return with such a deep topic. I wanted this to be light, and sprinkled with a some laughter. We will get a little deeper with topics as time go on and as I am lead. Continue to embrace your singleness and remain prayerful.


Much love, peace, & blessings

Demetria
