I`M NOT DRIVING THIS TIME

"No, it's cool, I`ll drive" Listen, depending on who I`m with, I like to be in control. I`m not one of those people with a large circle of friends. I am very picky about the people that I choose to kick it with. I've been in too many situations where I was stuck somewhere with a group of people, but I was the only one who was ready to go home. Story of my life. I`m always ready to go home. The food is free and the sheets is warm!

As I've mentioned before, when living in Chicago, I had no car. Now that I look back, that was a blessing and burden at the same time. I walked EVERYWHERE. I took the trains, buses and cabs anywhere I wanted to go. Y'all know my calf muscles was on point, right? I hated waiting in the cold for the train or walking in bad weather, but man, I had my little grocery cart that I put together myself with the wheels on it. I`d roll that joker down the street with them groceries so good, I made being car-less look cool. I didn't have to worry about getting stuck with people or things I didn't want to be around. All I had to do was call a cab or catch the big nasty red line train back to the crib. I had my one friend that stuck with me. We always had an agreement that if the scene was weird, lame or there weren't any sexy men, we would stay 30 minutes, have a drink and leave. The drink usually made those 30 minutes more bearable. Plus, we didn't have to worry about who would be the designated driver because it was usually some cab driver named Rick (Isn't that a nice cab driver name?). I remember this one time, the cab driver gave me his number. That was awkward. The selfish part of me wanted to call him for free rides but I feel like Rick would of wanted my drawls in return and that's just nasty.

I always seem to be the one who drives, even if I don't want to. I think people just assume that I want to be the driver for the night now, but sometimes, I just want to be carefree and ride shotgun. Why I always got to meet you at your house or a central location in order for you to drive? I come pick you up and take you home all the time. Hell, by the time I get to you, I've already fought half the battle, I might as well keep it pushing. I want to get the "I`m outside" text sometimes.

The bright side of that is, I get to decide when we leave. Y'all, when I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go. I even like to drive separate cars on first dates sometimes. Only when I`m not sure about you. Because when the conversation gets weird and you keep talking about your ex girlfriend, its time for me to pay for my little appetizers and get up out of there. Just kidding, you know I'm not paying for them potato skins.

The moral of the story is, I don't have gas money and I`m bored so come get me.

BUILDING SEASON

"Ok. But, when?" Aight so boom, last week we discussed being in a season of waiting. Now, waiting doesn't mean sitting there and doing absolutely nothing. When you're waiting in the doctor's office, do you just stare at the ceiling? No, you're either reading the magazines they provide, scrolling through your phone, or thinking about your next move. Watch how I'm bout to hit ya'll with this metaphor... Photo: My Mama If you are occupying your waiting time while in the doctor's office, why not apply that same concept to your everyday life and BUILD on your dreams while you wait. God is the doctor. While you're in his waiting room, you need to be thinking about your next move. Did ya'll like that or was that too much? Sorry. The black church is jumping out of me. In honor of 314 day, I'm going to give ya'll a quick peek into my BUILDING SEASON in that waiting room in St. Louis:  Ya'll know this story. About the ti...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...

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...
