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.

JUNE 24TH FOR THE 26TH TIME

"This year I turn 26, damn it seem it came so quick. My ass and legs have gotten thick." Those are words from the great Erykah Badu. I tweaked the age a little bit. Man, I can really relate to that line. If you didn`t know, I celebrated my 26th birthday on June 24, 2015. Every birthday that I`ve ever had, I`ve looked forward to. I planned parties, organized trips, time off from work, etc. But this birthday was different. It didn`t feel the same this year. Usually, I`m anticipating the 24th. "What am I gonna wear?", "I need to loose some weight!", "I need home girl to take my shift!" Nope. Not this year. I was in the airport traveling for work because I. NEED. MONEY. I spent the months before planning new insurance and thinking about how I`m only 4 years away from 30. I can`t even click the 18-25 age group on job applications now. I`m starting to think about stability and stuff. All the bagels and sandwich breads are going to my hips. I`m attrac...

SWIPE RIGHT FOR THE ONE TIME

" I need a date for Valentine's Day " or " Another Valentine's Day...Alone ." or " 2 more weeks til Valentine's Day, who's gonna be my date ?" First of all, why have we been stressing about this day since the end of December? Secondly, I need a "pre-date" before I go out with you on Valentine's Day. What if you end up being crazy? What if you're boring and I don't like you? Then when we go out, I end up seeing the guy that I really like. Now I gotta peace you out. You ain't about to mess up a potential marriage for me. Hell. As crazy as this may sound to you, I never really saw Valentine's Day as a day to be miserable and in my feelings about the man who's not here rubbing my feet. I do that on Tuesdays. I remember being a little girl seeing my daddy walk through the door with balloons, flowers, cards, teddy bears, candies and cakes for me and my mother every Valentine's Day. We could always expect ...

GET OUT OF MY JEANS, MAN

"Nothing like a man in a suit" You can hear this in most conversations between women. I would have to agree. There is nothing like a man in a suit, a well tailored suit that is. Okay, I know what you might be thinking, here goes Britney being critical of appearance again. But hear me out guys, there`s a way to do everything. Your pants in ya booty or below it, is not the way. I`m not proud of some of the things I did in my earlier years when I was out here thinking that I knew everything. One of those things is dating those guys that, ya know, are a little rough around the edges. Excuse me, A LOT of rough around the edges. Its not that I didn't want to date a nice guy. I actually would like to take all of the guys I've dated and wrap them up into one big, sloppy, sexy, handsome man. Like, he wears tailored suits during the week, basketball shorts with a hint of sag at night and slightly skinny jeans on Saturdays. I don't know, somewhere on a scale from gangst...
