The New Project

Apprentice (n): A person who agrees to work for a specified time in order to learn a trade, craft, or profession in which the employer, traditionally called the master, assents to instruct him or her.

It's hard to be a player when you go and get a boyfriend. It really puts a damper on the "research projects", as I like to call them. I feel like it would be a waste not to continue to share my knowledge and wisdom though, so I have come up with a great idea. I took on an apprentice. I am going to teach her the skills of my trade. She is coming out of a similar situation as mine with Von. While her and her husband, and father of her four sons were "reconciling", he knocked up a 23 year old white trash ho. I feel her pain to a degree. I wasn't with Von for 14 years but I can begin to comprehend the betrayal and shock she is feeling. My apprentice, whom we shall call Peaches, is now trying to enter the dating world after a long abscence and needs a little guidance. This shall be a wicked fun adventure. Hopefully my past experiences can save her a little trouble as she puts herself out there and starts to play.

It's not going to be all fun and games though. She's a giver type, like I used to be, thinking if she does what people ask they will accept and love her and stay happy. This is what I need to crack on that little vixen. I have to make sure she realizes this little adventure we're about to embark on is about her. Sounds selfish but it's not. She has to find herself and her new single identity or she will get eaten alive. I know this from experience. Once she stops trying to please everyone around her, she will find that she has a lot more peace in her world...not to mention, a lot more control.
