I am done with accepting less than what I want and deserve—and fortunately my bullshit radar is sensitive and I can spot the players and narcissists a mile away.

I can tell the difference in a man’s gaze and whether he is just after the curves of my body, or if it’s the bends in the road of my mind that he desires to traverse the most.

I know whether I am valued or just desired—and while I don’t want perfection or riches—I do need a man to be on his own game before he steps to me.

Because the thing is, I know that I am kind of a catch—and while the superficial doesn’t impress me—confidence and authenticity do.

I love turning up the music in my house as loud as I want, and with an intoxicating sway in my hips I lick the delicious spices from my fingers while I cook—smiling simply because I am happy.

I don’t need someone to take me out and spend money on me to make me feel loved and until a man comes along who will be content watching me dance barefoot in the kitchen while I cook for us, I’m happy living a life I love.

Because I know now that I don’t want just any man.

I want a warrior, a golden hearted king among men, who will be regarded because of his intentions and loyalty, his morals and his courage. A man whose heart will be his greatest feature.

This man will stand in awe of me, yet have no problem telling me when I am wrong.

Someone who will be proud to claim me as his woman—a man who will see that my heart is my greatest feature too.

And while my hair may be soft against his bare chest, and my eyes may burn into his, it won’t be my physical features that he falls in love with.

Because the man who decides to finally step to me will have fallen in love with my mind—even the darkest corners that I used to be scared to show.

He’s going to be smitten by my eccentricities and my soul will take his breath away.

The man who will someday decide that even though he can’t exactly picture what his life will be like with me, he won’t be able to picture his life without me.

And I won’t be perfect or well behaved all of the time and it’s a guarantee that I will love him with a depth that he has never known.
