SUPPORT YOUR SIGNIFICANT ARTIST

"You should check out my site, when you get a chance" "I also have a YouTube channel" "Did you read my blog yet? What did you think?"

"Oh, that's wassup" is the only answer I get. Let me tell y'all something. If you can't support your significant other or the person you're dating in whatever they do, you need to keep it moving. 

Unless you wanna be his trap queen, because you bout that life. Girl, please. I ain't going to jail for nobody. 

We all know that it's not easy being a working artist. Hence the name "starving artists". We can't just go to school get a degree, get a second degree, a certification and then go out into the world and apply for jobs in our field. Now, I'm not trying to throw shade at those of you who are out here corporate thuggin, because Lord knows I couldn't handle going to school 4 more times and putting in all that work like y'all did. But it gets frustrating when you're trying not to starve and working a bunch of little odd jobs in order to have time to build your own brand. Hell, you barely got time to even have a significant other.

I know, we all make fun of those guys that are out here promoting that trash mixtape to no end. And some of those mixtapes are really trash, but if you're going to be with him, you got to learn how to support his craft. Because that's what makes them happy. And if that's bae, why wouldn't you want them to be happy?

Side note: I say "bae" now. Because I'm cool and hip.

Listen, I'm an actress, a writer and part time employee in PETTYville. My life revolves around my craft. I put a lot of effort into building myself and trying to create my own lane in this industry. Most of my conversations consist of me dreaming about being on t.v and what new resturant I want to try next. So, if you're the type that hates trying new things, thinks blogs are stupid and artists are wierdos, I'm probably not going to suit your fancy. And that's ok. I remember talking to this guy once that hated the idea of me being an actress, he said that artists are usually arrogant and superficial. So I shot him in his pinky toe and blocked his number. He wasn't for me. 

If I send you a link to my blog and I come back the next day and ask you what you thought, and all you say is "it was tight" I already know you didn't read it, fam. And I can't rock with that. Aintbritfunny or die homie. (That's the equivalent to ride or die) *throws up gang signs*

Look, the moral of the story is, every little gesture counts. Your significant artist is in a play? Go see it. They wrote a book? Be the first to get a copy. They sing back up? Go to the show. They do photography? Be their subject. They're a chef? Ask them to cook for you. They make clothes? Wear the brand on your next date with them. They have an audition? Help them go over lines. They wrote a blog? Repost that joint on Facebook! 

I do what I do because somebody told me I can. And there are still people who constantly encourage me along the journey. 

Get you a support system. You know it's hard out here for an artist.

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

"I need a break." I have to say, I have been finding the internet to be exceptionally entertaining and funny lately. I'm always cracking up at someone's Instagram post, a meme on Facebook, or some random footage from Twitter. But then, there's the negativity, which is extremely draining. Y'all, I don't care how bad things get in my life, please, please, please, don't let me get on the internet arguing with people that don't have a profile picture and misspelling stuff trying to send a subliminal message to my man. Just... take my phone... okay? Photo: Stephen Nitz When I broke up with my last boyfriend, which was in the year 1802, I purposely took a short break from social media. I was upset and when I'm upset, like most folk, I have a tendency to make that apparent. I'd found myself clapping back at someone on social media once before and I was like "Britney girl, what you doin'? Ain't that why you got a blog?...

BRIT AIN`T JUST FUNNY

"So are you scared to kiss?" Guys, I`m the most awkward actress when it comes to love scenes. I know what you're thinking. "You're a comedic actress, why are you doing love scenes?", the answer is, because I`m sexy and desirable and dudes want to kiss me on camera. No seriously, I do a lot more than comedy. Making people laugh just happens to be one of my strong points. I am always open to more serious roles and I can do a pretty good job, if I say so myself! I've played everything from an old lady, to an old man, to a sexy new girl on the job (that was back when I could still fit them Abercrombie jeans). Oh my gosh y'all, let me tell you about the first time I had to kiss a guy on stage. First of all, I had a crush on him to begin with. My teacher grouped us together on purpose and gave us a scene as husband and wife. Our first day of rehearsal he asks me, "So are you scared to kiss?" In the back of my head I'm like "Yeah, we ...

DON`T LET IT GET TO YA

"After today, I`m deleting my page" Man sit your ass down (dude off of Martin voice). We all know that you're gonna be right back here next week telling us about how you're letting go of the fake people in your life, your boyfriend getting on your nerves, these girls be tripping or posting that pointless selfie of you in the bed. I see that junkie room behind you. You could of at least folded that laundry first. Okay I get it. We all need a little social media detox every now and then. Even me. It seems like people have become numb to seeing horrible images of fighting, killing, violence and hate being displayed right in their news feeds. Its sickening. And then there`s the booty pictures. Yes, we all have some saved in our camera roll but that doesn't mean you have to post it. Mam, don't look at me like that, I know you took a booty picture and sent it to your husband while he was at the office. Y'all nasty. I often find myself desiring that detox as ...
