SOMETIMES, I CAN'T DEAL

"You okay? you wanna talk about it?" Actually, no. I'm not okay. Sure, we can talk about it, if you got some liquor. You better be treating too, since you wanna be nosy. Don't be cheap now. I'm probably sad cause I ain't got no money. You know the check be gone before the direct deposit even hit your bank account. I could probably use a hug too.

I'm no doctor, but I'd say it's pretty unhealthy for one to keep their anger and emotions balled up inside of you. If nothing else, you have to at least admit to yourself that you're pissed, sad or scared, that's the first step. Now, when I encourage you to let your emotions out every once in a while, I don't mean getting on Facebook everyday and cussing out all your "haters" or cousins or posting all those god awful depressing memes that make me wonder how that dude I met at the club 6 years ago is doing. I'm saying, you should probably find that one person you can vent to, write down how you feel in a journal or talk it out with yourself through meditation. Or you can go to the bakery and get a dozen donuts and see if you can eat them all in one night. But then, you would be fat. And you can't be fat and sad. Pick a struggle.

Listen, all I'm saying is, I been there, done that. It's not that I don't let life get the best of me sometimes, I do. I am just learning now, how and where to direct negative energy when it comes. I've learned how to be honest with myself and the way I was feeling. Then, I was able to understand the best way for me to cope with certain situations. I'm telling you, once you throw a chair at the wall, it's all good. Just kidding. Let that wall be great. It ain't done nothing to you.

Ok let me get personal real quick. Last week was rough. Hell, this week has been a challenge too. I spent all my money on bills, I'm tired of being in St. Louis, I still can't fit my jeans, I have no idea why in the world I am keeping this blog, my acting career seems so far away and I'm trying to eat right but I REALLY want a piece of cake because life is hard and cake is my comfort food. I'm like, "I'm tired, I'm sad, I'm angry and I don't want to be bothered", so I went and isolated myself for a few hours until I was better.

I also had to take a moment and remember that it could always be worse. Even though I'm not at my highest, I am definitely not at my lowest. And I've been low enough to understand that. Real talk.

Look, sometimes life can be EXTREMELY sh!++y and make you upset and that's okay. If you have to lay in the bed and do that ugly cry, it's cool. Just don't stay there. You know you got to go to work, cause you used up all your vacation days already.

Try meditating. Get yourself a soft little blanket or yoga mat if you're feeling fancy, close your eyes, and talk yourself through it.

Or just drink some wine and get more sleep. It's up to you.

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...

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 ...
