"Proceed With Caution"

“Better safe than sorry, instead of searching for substance at every single party. Maybe being part of this life we feel like we bound to end up with somebody that’s been with everybody.”

Drake gave s the harsh reality of what life may have for us in this society. From high school until our late 20’s we spend times at parties, clubs, speed dating and etc searching for that someone. Trying to find that quality, that aura and that intriguing factor, intellectually savvy;  basically searching for that substance Drake refers to. The thing is while we are searching we waste years of our life away looking for these things in the wrong places. The reality of it all though is stated within the second part of this verse. “Being a part of this life and society we are we are bound to end up with somebody that’s been with everybody.” Now this not always the case, but it is a tough pill to swallow and for the average American this is the scary reality of life and a strong possibility of finding a significant other.  The fear of being single forever. The fear that what you’re searching for, we may never find. The fear of being with someone who possibly may have been with someone you know or who has been with way more people than you.  So that rewinds this blog back to the initial words of the verse. “Better safe than sorry.” Thing is we don’t believe in being safe. The possibility of safe doesn’t cross our minds until we’ve been hit a couple times. With dudes safe is weakness. Safe keep guys from exploring possibilities of other women. With girls, safe is always portrayed and shown but exploration is in the back of their cerebral capacity. Not being safe 9 times out of ten brings the result of being sorry. Being sorry results in bitterness about life. Being upset that the ambitions and dreams of our never came true because of a lack of safety. Dreams of marriage, dreams of having that family and so much more are prolonged for every day, of every week, of every month, of every year we continue to ignore safety. The thing is how do we pick to drive this vehicle of life and love? Do we drive it down the highway doing 25 over the limit with no seatbelt on, or do we drive it doing the limit with our seatbelts on? The vehicle of love and life isn’t as hard to drive as we make it out to be. Moral of this blog: Buckle up while driving.
