THE ONLY SHOT I'M SHOOTING IS THIS HENNY

"Why don't you send the first text?"
"Oh you think he`s cute? Go talk to him then."
"He's probably just nervous, you should say something!"

Like, girl/ man, what the hell? I'm nervous too!

Call me old fashioned if you like, but I believe that men were born with the ability to pursue. Therefore, I shall remain at the bar with my legs crossed and allow that man to do just that. Plus, when I get nervous, my fingers shake uncontrollably. So, there's that.

Now, before ya'll get mad and start to compose your little shady tweets and statuses about me, just hear me out. I get it. Some women are much more outgoing than me when it comes to that. Meaning, if you see something you like/ want, you go and get it (ya'll probably be in the stores stealing too... I'm just kidding, calm down). Truth be told, I envy your confidence and ability to have fun with it and walk away if it doesn't work out. I, on the other hand can not take a shot to the ego like that. My pride won't allow it. Picture the guy that insults you when you're not interested. That's probably me. So, I stay quiet.

Me: "Hey, I think you're incredibly handsome and I'd love to get to know you."
Him: "I'm married, sweetheart."
Me: "Whatever. Your hair line uneven as hell anyway. Ugly a$$." 

In the past, I've had my share of bad experiences of going after the guy not knowing if he was interested. I'm about to get a little vulnerable. Ya'll ready? Alright peep this:

The year was 2002. I was the new kid at school. I befriended a group a girls who I confided in and told them that I was crushing on a certain guy. They convinced me to write him a note expressing my feelings. I did. Because I was the new kid at school, he had no idea who I was. One day, after the girls gave him the note, they brought him towards my locker where he finally saw who I was and said that I was fat. From that day on, I vowed that shooting my shot would be a "NO" from me.

Here's my opinion put simply. From my experience, if he's interested and ready, he will be moved to step to you. If not, he probably got 5 kids anyway and you ain't missing nothing.

The moral of the story is, do what ya'll do. If homeboy opens the door, I'll walk through it. But don't expect me to hop in your DM's. I'm shy. Especially if you're well groomed and look like you got good credit.

BUILDING SEASON

"Ok. But, when?" Aight so boom, last week we discussed being in a season of waiting. Now, waiting doesn't mean sitting there and doing absolutely nothing. When you're waiting in the doctor's office, do you just stare at the ceiling? No, you're either reading the magazines they provide, scrolling through your phone, or thinking about your next move. Watch how I'm bout to hit ya'll with this metaphor... Photo: My Mama If you are occupying your waiting time while in the doctor's office, why not apply that same concept to your everyday life and BUILD on your dreams while you wait. God is the doctor. While you're in his waiting room, you need to be thinking about your next move. Did ya'll like that or was that too much? Sorry. The black church is jumping out of me. In honor of 314 day, I'm going to give ya'll a quick peek into my BUILDING SEASON in that waiting room in St. Louis:  Ya'll know this story. About the ti...

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...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...
