HAVE YOU BEEN CONSISTENT OR ON BS?

"I'm trying to build something with you."
"Let's work on this project together."
"I'm tired. I'll post on Aintbritfunny next week. "

Hey ya'll! Happy April! It's the 4th month of 2018 and I know that many of us set goals for ourselves in all areas of our lives. Maybe it was a gym goal, career goal, or even a relationship goal. Shoot, maybe it was all of them. It doesn't matter. What matters is your consistency and persistence to reach them.

And I'm gonna go even further and say... even if it's not something you call a "goal", if you say you're going to do something, do it. Nobody likes a wishy washy, hot and cold, "uhhh let me get back to you" all the damn time, person.

If y'all thought this was going to be a "hope all is well with you" post, then y'all don't know me very well. Come on in and have a seat. I won't keep you very long today, I'm hungry and gotta make lunch soon. Let's get straight to the point.

I once heard someone say, "If you're having a hard time choosing between me and another person... choose the other person." I agree with that on some levels. Indecisiveness can lead to inconsistency. And to quote my #Blackmamalations tee "Close my doors, I ain't tryna heat up the neighborhood" meaning, you're either in or out, but you not gone keep running back and forth. Stop trying to create a revolving door on folks lives. It's not cute.

Now, on the other hand, if you're a director and you're having a hard time choosing between me and another person for a role. Choose me. I want to be chose.

I've seen folks ruin great networking opportunities because they just can't seem to follow through. Or, they just want to get by doing the bare minimum. And let me tell you, it's kind of hard to put your name on something that you know might be raggedy.

Look, when the year started, I was on fire. I had everything laid out that I wanted to do for myself. I had a post for y'all every week, I was always looking and going for auditions and I even opened an online store for folks to purchase shirts that I made. In that time I ran across some difficulties with my site, some exhausting weeks that caused me not to write, lots of folks telling me "no" and an overwhelming amount of self doubt that caused me to give only 50% of my energy in which I was only doing myself a disservice.

The moral of the story is, we all fall short, but be consistent in all that you do. If not, don't be upset or surprised when folks don't want to rock with you or take you seriously.

A very wise woman once said "You either gone piss or get off the pot!"

I'll leave y'all with that.

-BRIT

The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school.  I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot.  *Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.* I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hun...

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

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...
