The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school. 

I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot. 

*Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.*

I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hungry so they weren't completely misjudging me. It was because I wasn`t having sex, smoking and partying. Instead, I was at home eating dinner with my family, annoying my brother, and writing B2K a thousand times in bubble letters like a normal sixteen year old. 

My point is, if you are a young lady reading this, there is nothing wrong with being a "good girl". Carrying that title has only kept me from the things and people that don`t mean me any good. 

I still like my dudes to have a little G in them though. Even if you never killed anybody, I`d like to believe that you can. Not me though, I`ll choke you.

  1. Good girls unite!!! I was seen as all of the above and still am to this day. I guess that's why I'm bf-less, not necessarily a bad thing. Just a lonely thing. And then all of the "good guys" are being corrupted and trapped by rachets! This is a travesty that must be stopped!!! We should start a movement: the end of the rachet is here!! No longer shall we shame our youth for practicing what most of us have given up: Morals. We need to start remembering those things we've heard in church, school and home. If you wouldn't do it in front of ur p-units how can u think it's okay to do in public?? That's just the old head in me talking bcuz I've got my faults fa sho.

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

KIDS ON KIDS ON KIDS

"You don't have kids yet? That`s rare." I`m 26, never been married, engaged, or even close, why is that so rare? In my opinion, I`m just getting started with my own life. Okay maybe not JUST getting started but I`m still in my prime. Like, I`m working on myself. Look, I just don't have the money for any extra people, okay? Ive reached the age where I`m starting to see many of my peers in my news feeds getting married and having children. Meanwhile, I'm over here stalking this sexy dude on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Myspace. (Don't act like y'all don't remember Myspace.) Marriage is a beautiful thing. I enjoy looking at everyone`s wedding photos and thinking about how I`m going to steal some of those ideas for myself one day. I`m also looking at the groomsmen to see if any of them are sexy. Don't be surprised if I show up to your reception uninvited trying to catch the bouquet. As long as dude doesn't have any kids. Listen, don't g...
