‘Ms. Angelia how do you know when someone loves you…” ‘Honey what do you mean?’ Lawd I am not trying to talk about this with this child, today… ‘Well I mean how do you really know?” ‘Okay, here goes, one of the easiest way to tell is how a person treats you, when there is no agenda…they don’t want or need anything from you…they just love you…’ ‘Or what they say to people about you when they don’t know you are listening.’ ‘Sometimes you can even tell by the way they are looking at you, when they don’t know you see them looking…’ Now let me tell you some things I don’t want you to confuse for love… Anytime anyone starts a sentence with, ‘If you loved me the way I love you…’ That’s manipulation, not love… Also an “Ooh baby I love you…” right when your legs are wrapped around someone… Might be love, if it was already love… But probably ain’t if ‘love’ had never been mentioned before… Now of course, you have to know this… There is no such thing as ‘making someone love you’ or ‘once I have his baby, he will have to love me’… And the biggest thing is once you are about loving yourself… It is amazing how much love…you will generate… ‘Cause you know how when someone smiles because you are smiling… Love can be just like that, people love to be around loving people…and when you heap love on yourself…you have more love to pour on others…and please don’t think sex can do the work of love…cause it ain’t qualified… ‘Yes ma’am…I love you Ms. A.’ ‘I love you too, baby…’ Mentoring is not for the faint of heart… Let me tell you… acVernon Menchan
