There's levels and you aren't there yet boo!

I had the most interesting conversation with some undergrads the other night.

Yes, undergrads.

I have an undergrad that I'm mentoring and I was in her apartment with her undergrad friends when one of them told an interesting story.

You ready?



Let's go!


So the undergrad starts talking about how she met this girl who is an RA and she's married to another RA...who works and lives in a different building. She was completely flabbergasted and asked

"What makes it a marriage if they don't live together?"

GIRL!

So there I was....the only person in the room with picture of engagement rings in their phone, thinking this girl can't be serious.

In my phone...as we speak!

But she was.

Dead ass.

So I said "the commitment."

Then she said " yea but what else?"

I was so out done y'all. Completely. So I literally said

"Have you ever wanted to be married...like to a particular person?"

Of course she hadn't.

So I said "As the only person in here with picture of engagement rings in my phone, the commitment is everything. Its a shared life, a shared vision. She's my first thought and my last, and most of the ones in the middle. Its the fact that you consider someone before your self and its as natural as breathing. Choosing her in thought, word, and deed. That's commitment. That's fidelity. Its everything."



Undergrad: "Oh....ok"

Sometimes you have to school the young.
