CRUSHES SUCK

"Aw you have a crush on him? I`m gone hook y'all up" Look, I`m a grown woman, I don't need anybody to hook me up. If I like someone, I`ll tell them myself. We are not in high school anymore, I got this. I know how to speak up for myself. Just kidding, I`m just going to stalk them on social media, hide in the bushes when they pass by, write their name in cursive 100 times, and cry myself to sleep at night.

So here`s the thing, it`s very, very rare that I will have an actual crush on someone. I often find people attractive or interesting, but a crush? That`s totally different in my opinion. To admire someone from a far. Everything about them. Not just their appearance but their character and the way they handle things and seem to go about life (Let me know if this starts to get too weird for you). It takes a lot more than a beautiful smile and some well groomed facial hair to get my attention. I mean, that`s a good start, but its not the whole package. Like, dang, can you do any tricks young man?

Other people telling my crush about me has never worked in my favor. I usually just end up denying it and leaving them confused as to why someone would lie to them about that. Or I`ll just run away and pretend it never even happened, I hated the 8th grade. As I got older, I saw how things would work out for themselves if you just get out of your own way. I remember having a crush on someone for two years during college. When I finally got close to him and got to know him, I hated him. Don`t get me wrong though, he`s still very sexy and if he grows up, we can go out to eat. I hope he got some money though, I`m not paying.

Look, all I`m saying is, the best things happen naturally. Don`t force it. If you're that pushy friend that cant wait to open your mouth and make an awkward situation for everyone, please have several seats. You're doing too much. All you need to do is make sure my hair and makeup is on point when you know there is a chance I might see him. And make sure you have some extra mints in your purse for me. You know I be forgetting my mints when I switch purses. And make sure he`s not stupid. I don`t have time to hate nobody, but I will shoot him in his pinkie toe if he don't know how to act.

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 hun...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...

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...
