Sister, Let That Fool Go!  by Folake Taylor

You have the power to determine how people treat you in this world. They will only trample all over you and take certain liberties if you allow it.  It is not mean to politely and subtly demand it. And it is not mean to walk away from a toxic relationship in any way, shape or form.  You are simply affirming that you will not be a doormat. Try it. You'll be surprised at the positive response you'll get from those you thought would never treat you well. You have the power!

I have yet to see a happily married woman who found Mr. Right by changing the gene pool of men or setting out to change a man into what she wants. I have however met, spoken with and read books by thousands of happily married women who admitted that the desired change was within. All else fell into place. And when people fully find themselves, they're more fulfilled and happy anyway, even if they haven't made that love connection yet.

Sister, Let That Fool Go!

Folk look at you and wonder what’s wrong with you
“Why she can’t keep a man?” they say behind your back
“Somethin’ wrooooong with her,” they say in a deep southern drawl
But you know what?
It’s those fools you keep going out with
Those fools you open your heart up to
The same fool in different forms
Over and over

That fool, who was beneath you on day one
That fool, who was still beneath you when you finally moved on
Why don’t we value ourselves, my sisters?
Why don’t we wait for a worthy man?
A man that will compliment us
A man that will bring out the best in us
A man who is NOT threatened by a strong (black) woman
Get tired of the abuse

Take control of who you choose!
