DETERMINATION: ALL YOU CAN DO, IS WHAT YOU CAN DO

"Oh Imma do that anyway, Imma do that anyway cause that's how I am."
-The Internet Auntie

First of all, shout out to all of the people that only need one alarm to wake them up in the morning and never hit the snooze button. That's some different kind of drive & determination. We will not be discussing that kind here, today.

Do you ever feel like you just have about one more fail left in you before you give up? Or like you must be doing something wrong because you're not where you thought you should be? Or that you're just not getting anywhere so what's the point anyway, right?

Yeah. Same here.

But, I got news for you, if you were supposed to give up, then you wouldn't have been given one more day to get up and try again.

When I was a Sophmore in college, I had an end of the year evaluation with one of my acting professors. In this meeting, she told me "Acting might not be for you. Maybe you should consider a different career." I looked her dead in her eyes and said "Maybe that mustache on your lip ain't for you". Just kidding. I looked her dead in her eyes and said, "You're wrong. I'm going to be an actress." I left that classroom and burst into tears. I was hurt, surprised and most of all, I was angry.

(Not to mention this took place 2-3 months after the passing of my father. I'd missed classes due to grieving.)

Since that day, I have been DETERMINED to prove not only her wrong, but, my spirit of doubt as well. If I decided to listen to her, there would be no Aintbritfunny. If I decided to listen to myself last week when I felt like this blog was a waste of time and I should be on T.V by now, ya'll would of never gotten this post today.

Family, the moral of the story is, dig deep within yourself and find the strength to try one more time today, then, go to sleep and do the same thing tomorrow and the day after that. Do you have any idea what's going to happen tomorrow? Neither do I. But, if we're lucky, we will get to see it. As long as you do the work, you did your job! Trust the process.

Stay encouraged & stay DETERMINED.

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?
