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 wearing you out and sometimes, you have to just put people in a quick little choke hold so that they understand you are not the one to be played with. Don't kill them though, you know your family don't have bail money and don't accept collect calls.

I'm gonna be honest with you, I used to be able to hold a grudge longer than Mariah Carey could hold a note. I was petty like that. I could change my entire attitude from an angel to a devil when certain people came around. But then, I realized that I was giving my enemies all of the power. Once I understood that me being myself and happy had more effect on them than me going out of my way to be rude, I held all of the power.

Listen, everybody wasn't raised like you. It's some folks out here that wasn't snatched up enough in their childhood, so now, in adulthood they don't know how to act or how to treat people. Now, you can either see that as an opportunity to throat punch them or you can be the bigger person and set the example. Your choice. I'm not here to judge. 

Listen, all I'm saying is, light always outshines the darkness. If we never experienced the bad, we wouldn't understand just how good we have it. 

And as for the folks that try their hardest to break you down, don't worry, there's a special place in hel......... I mean there is a special prayer with their name on it. 

Moral of the story is, let that ish go fam. If you not gone at least box with them, cuss them out, or take all the batteries out of their remotes, move on. And even after you do that, still, move on. Trust me, it kills them more to see you happy than crazy. 

Peace.

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 ...

SIMON SAYS: CHILL OUT

"I'm just not feeling it right now." Lately, I've had a lack of creativity. I usually feel like I'm bursting with so many ideas that I can't write them down fast enough. I don't know if it's writer's block, I'm uninspired or maybe I'm just so relaxed from the hot girl summer, that I'm not motivated to do anything but take pictures with a lil bit of cleavage showing so that somebody's son can slide into my DM's for cuffing season. Photo: My Mama Yeah. That's prolly what it is. We live in a world where they try to tell us that "Rich people don't sleep" or, folks are constantly pushing this "No days off" narrative. But, if we are constantly working ourselves to death, where do we find the time to be still so that we can hear what the next move is supposed to be?
