- Najah: Y'all gotta stop playing with good women. Tryna keep them around so they'll still be available when you finally decide you ready to settle down. And you don't get to ask somebody for partnership, loyalty, and trust. Just to move like you single behind her back. And expect her to stay right where you left her. Hm. Cause I promise you, every betrayal is teaching her how to live without you. You not saving her for later. You're losing her in real time. And some of y'all got the nerve to have retirement accounts, investments, and life insurance. Cause' you planning to be here a long time. But emotionally you planning for next weekend. Make that make sense. Sir, you have arthritis and a bad back. And that stick gonna slow down, right? Your health can decline. And you're gonna lose people you love one day. And you may need somebody sitting beside you when the doctor explains them test results. Somebody to help you bury a person you never imagined you'd have to live without. Somebody to help you pick up the pieces when life humbles you. That is partnership. And all them options you think you got. They signed up for fun. And baby, life humbling you ain't fun. When the fun stops, them options leave and go find some mo' fun. Now you left tryna figure out everything by your damn self. Sir, you gotta know that ain't enough money, status, or title in the world. To make somebody who only came for a good time. genuinely care about you when life gets heavy. So if you want to be single, be single. Keep all them options. But stop asking good women to build with you. while you treat them like placeholders until you done ripping and running. And stop trading somebody. Who will help you carry life? For people who only came to enjoy it, options are not partners. And fun is not a plan.
