YOU'RE SELFISH

"I be following you on your little blog and stuff" I always get that when I see y'all in person and it makes me so happy. I`m so glad that somebody is paying attention to me because y'all know I'm kind of needy. Okay, so its been over two weeks since I've posted anything. Y'all, I had to take a little break, step back, re-group and drink some wine. As 2015 comes to an end, I have been allowing myself to reflect on all of the things that I've experienced, the people I've crossed paths with and most importantly, the things that I have learned. I also had to clean up my room cause it was still looking like I just moved in. Anyway, one of the most important things that I've learned is how to be selfish. Wait a minute, stay with me I want to tell you exactly what I mean by that.

Now, when I talk about being selfish, I don't mean eating the last piece of chicken when you know good and well your mama ain't had none yet. I`m talking about making decisions that are going to benefit you and your situation in the long run. Sometimes, the people around you may disagree with your decision to make that move, take that job, or even walk away from that horrible job that you already have, but you have to think about what`s best for you. Let me tell y'all something, in this year alone, I have walked away from unsatisfying jobs, relationships, friend ships and living conditions that made me unhappy because I promised myself that I was not going to allow those things to control me or my peace of mind. But then, you have to be okay with the decisions that you make. If you're going to leave those things behind, you have to be ready to move forward and not look back. Unless its something sexy behind you, then you turn around and see what it wants. Don't be ridiculous.

I've also learned how to talk to God even when I don't want to. Sometimes I get so angry at life and I just have to stop and pray. That`s extremely hard for me because when I get mead, I'd rather shoot at something than talk to God. I know, I know, society doesn't teach us how to do that, but you are on Aintbritfunny.com right now and we talk to God on here, okay? You better try him because I was really close to wrapping my hands around a few necks this year but because of Him, those people are going to live to see 2016. I am a child of God, but I am also not the one you want to play with. He still working on me.

Look, I'm gone let y'all go cause I got stuff to do today too, but the moral of the story is, be selfish, especially if its going to help you grow. But please, consult with God about your decisions too, or call your Auntie who always got the good advice on deck or something.

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...

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...

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...
