"Stick to your Own"

God that felt like a shot to my heart when my friend said that to me, and I wasn't looking at her face when she said it so I was never quite sure if she was kidding or not. Her tone of voice sounded serious though. But the thing is, my "own" doesn't do it for me. I'm sorry, but it's the truth. I need a man who is strong, both physically and on the inside in confidence and inner strength, masculine, slightly macho with a bit of rascalness, humor, strong sensuality, a smile to die for, sense of family and what's important in life, someone who can stand up against me - a strong woman who knows what she wants and knows how to live this life. All those qualities equal that of brown eyes, brown hair, Latin, Italian, Brazilian, strong - that's what attracts me and I can't help that, it has happened over time out of the long line of men I've gone out with. We live in a world, in a country, in a state, in a City where I don't have to stick to my own, and that is the god-given beauty of it. Choices are beautiful and knowing what you want is absolutely priceless.
