OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER

"You would be cute if you wasn't chubby" "You don't have a wow factor"  "That was a great performance, you just don't have the look we need" "Maybe you should consider another career path besides acting" "You gone be single for hellas" If I listened to all of the things that people said about me, I would have stopped trying a long time ago. Look, as you all know I don't really have a filter. So I'm gonna keep it straight up and down with ya'll. I'm in my 27th year, my waist might be a little thicker, bank account a little thinner but, I've never felt more beautiful, blissful, and ready..... ........to bust a cap in somebody's a** Oh, ya'll thought this was gonna be a sweet little blog post about me turning 27? Come on son, ya'll should know me by now. After a few years and a few experiences on this earth, it's hard not to become old and bitter. The world has it's way of w

And when I don't want to be bothered, I will look at your text, phone call, Facebook message and decide if that's something that can be addressed at a later time. So ya'll already know my read receipt is not enabled on my iPhone and I will wait until that Facebook message comes to my email so that you can't tell if I've read it yet. Oh, I know how NOT to play myself. Please believe, you will not catch me slipping. You know you're a homebody when your own grandmother tries to throw shade at you. Let me tell ya'll what happened. So one night, I'm getting all dolled up because I had friends in town and we were getting ready to go out. I'm in the mirror, minding my business, unraveling the twist out. She pas
