Take A Deep Breath

As a young 20 something year old, I always seem to be comparing myself to others around my age. ESPECIALLY as an artist. Im always looking at people like... "Damn, she taking pictures with Diddy? I cant wait to move out of St. Louis" or "Oh snap, he doing commercials now? Maybe I need to go to more auditions"  or "Dannngggggg, she lost hella weight! Im gone stop eating cake!". Ladies and gentleman, Im NEVER going to stop eating cake. I dont care what you crazy "health nut, workout and post pictures in the gym people" say! (But thats a whole different subject for a whole different blog post).

You can`t let your peers accomplishments be your regrets. We are all taking different paths in life and it is okay if you don`t have it all figured out yet. Unless you`re just being a bum. Then you need to get your sh!t together, real talk.

And remember, things arent always what they appear to be. You don`t know everyone`s struggle. That person snapping selfies with celebs might be couch surfing because they don`t have a place to stay right now. That guy doing commercials might have just got fired from his day job. And that girl that lost weight may have some real self esteem issues that she`s fighting. You never know.

Guys, the moral of my story is.... Stay the hell off of Facebook and Instagram. Unless you`re going to follow me...

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

"I need a break." I have to say, I have been finding the internet to be exceptionally entertaining and funny lately. I'm always cracking up at someone's Instagram post, a meme on Facebook, or some random footage from Twitter. But then, there's the negativity, which is extremely draining. Y'all, I don't care how bad things get in my life, please, please, please, don't let me get on the internet arguing with people that don't have a profile picture and misspelling stuff trying to send a subliminal message to my man. Just... take my phone... okay? Photo: Stephen Nitz When I broke up with my last boyfriend, which was in the year 1802, I purposely took a short break from social media. I was upset and when I'm upset, like most folk, I have a tendency to make that apparent. I'd found myself clapping back at someone on social media once before and I was like "Britney girl, what you doin'? Ain't that why you got a blog?...

BRIT AIN`T JUST FUNNY

"So are you scared to kiss?" Guys, I`m the most awkward actress when it comes to love scenes. I know what you're thinking. "You're a comedic actress, why are you doing love scenes?", the answer is, because I`m sexy and desirable and dudes want to kiss me on camera. No seriously, I do a lot more than comedy. Making people laugh just happens to be one of my strong points. I am always open to more serious roles and I can do a pretty good job, if I say so myself! I've played everything from an old lady, to an old man, to a sexy new girl on the job (that was back when I could still fit them Abercrombie jeans). Oh my gosh y'all, let me tell you about the first time I had to kiss a guy on stage. First of all, I had a crush on him to begin with. My teacher grouped us together on purpose and gave us a scene as husband and wife. Our first day of rehearsal he asks me, "So are you scared to kiss?" In the back of my head I'm like "Yeah, we ...

SOMETIMES, I CAN'T DEAL

"You okay? you wanna talk about it?" Actually, no. I'm not okay. Sure, we can talk about it, if you got some liquor. You better be treating too, since you wanna be nosy. Don't be cheap now. I'm probably sad cause I ain't got no money. You know the check be gone before the direct deposit even hit your bank account. I could probably use a hug too. I'm no doctor, but I'd say it's pretty unhealthy for one to keep their anger and emotions balled up inside of you. If nothing else, you have to at least admit to yourself that you're pissed, sad or scared, that's the first step. Now, when I encourage you to let your emotions out every once in a while, I don't mean getting on Facebook everyday and cussing out all your "haters" or cousins or posting all those god awful depressing memes that make me wonder how that dude I met at the club 6 years ago is doing. I'm saying, you should probably find that one person you can vent to, writ...
