I am, I was, I use to be Mary Jane. Ever felt like the only way you'll feel beautiful is through any mans touch? I am Mary Jane by going in circles, back and forth, with men who I believed loved, cared, and enjoyed my company. There was nothing that felt better to me than feining for a man to love and touch all over me; just so I can feel self-esteem and wanted. My main goal was to feel beautiful and go about my business once I got what I needed. I acted similar to how a man can treat a woman. Crazy right? I was Mary Jane, I am at fault for messing with a married man, when I knew it was wrong. I prayed and God immediately removed me from that struggle. I was Mary Jane for two years without even realizing it. I was in a relationship but I was still searching for love like Mary Jane. I let one man, then many men, take full control of my character, my thoughts, who I was, and my dignity. I allowed them to enter my space and make me believe they actually cared for me. When all they really cared about was what's between my legs. I use to be Mary Jane, I'm not that woman anymore. I've noticed my experience wasn't to break me down, but to make me stronger. It's crazy how life can be huh? Today, I am wiser, I can make myself feel beautiful. And there's nothing I look forward to a man doing that I can't do for myself. I am Mary Jane, I was Mary Jane, I use to be Mary Jane. -Vic

Here's the Recap: This week we saw Mary Jane going off on everyone and finally resolving to leave Andre after being read by her niece and corrected by her mother. Her youngest brother almost went to jail. And the audience got a heartbreaking view into Kara's life. Kara was a wreck on Talk Back dealing with her failing relationship with her sons as she tries to maintain the career she loves.
Here's My Perspective: This week helped ease my waning disinterest in the show; not because of Mary Jane's decision to leave Andre, but because for the first time I think I may have seen a woman I can relate to on the show. Kara is a hard working woman who loves her children and her job. I am positive that I will experience the pressure she is under in my future. She is losing grip of her family, and not because she is a horrible but because she has a great job. I may never be the fire-breathing mistress, but I can see myself being the overworked mom. |
