"The most important career decision of a woman
is choosing her man",
they uttered it to my face too many times,
heard it thru movies and series,
if I could judge, it's their favorite line.

"Choose your husband wisely,
or you only have yourself to blame"
every line makes me think, how will I know?
How will I know if they're true or just wearing a mask?
How will I know if it's me they would want to last?

How will I know If I chose the right man?
How will I know if he's a good one?
Then my mama said,
"We'll never figure all of that,
but baby, follow your instinct instead of your heart."
