UNEXPECTED CHANGE: IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING


"I didn't ask for this."

 Someone once said, "Change happens when you least expect it". I don't know about you, but when I hear that, I'm always thinking of the good kind of change. Like that one time when I was broke, I found 20 dollars that I hid from myself in the pajama drawer, or when the dude I liked finally hopped in my DMs, or when they sent the new lease and the rent actually went down 50 dollars... Okay, that one never happened but ya'll get the point.

You ever been sitting in the break room at work, chilling, scrolling your phone, having a good day, then somebody comes in there talking your ear off, annoying you and now your peace of mind is disturbed. Plus, you now have only 33 seconds left of your break  which you spend hiding from them in the bathroom but it doesn't matter because you see them all day anyway.

That's kind of how UNEXPECTED CHANGE enters your life. It's like "Damn, I was doing fine! And here you go!"

The start of this year has brought about so many unexpected, unwanted changes for me. Just as I was starting to get really comfortable. One being, spending a few hunnid (hundred) on fixing my car. I'm gone drop this short story real quick and I'm gone let ya'll go:

 Aight so boom - A few weeks ago I'm out running errands, enjoying a bright, sunny day. Now, for those of you who don't know, Chicago pot holes are plentiful and created by the devil himself. So, I got my music blasting, cruising along, down this raggedy street, slowly. I see a pot hole, I tried to swerve but I fell into it anyway. Everything still seems fine. I make it to my destination. I shop for a bit. Get back into my car and drive away. I hear a crazy noise coming from my car. I'm like, "Aw hell!". I take it to the shop the next day. They're like, "Mam, there's a huge bolt in your tire, your brakes are worn all the way down, and when was the last time you had an oil change?" Ya'll, I'd been knowing for a WHILE that I needed to take care of all of those things but I kept putting it off because I didn't want to spend my lil money. If it weren't for that janky pot hole, I could have been slipping and sliding myself right into a ditch this winter with those raggedy brakes!

Look family, the moral of the story is, sometimes, changes have to make themselves because you aren't going to do it. You knew that person was bringing you negative energy but it took them doing something foul for you to walk away. You knew that job wasn't right for you but it took them letting you go to really explore your passion. See what I'm saying? Whatever change you’re experiencing in this season, I hope that you can find the good or the lesson in it and be at 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 ...

DON`T LET IT GET TO YA

"After today, I`m deleting my page" Man sit your ass down (dude off of Martin voice). We all know that you're gonna be right back here next week telling us about how you're letting go of the fake people in your life, your boyfriend getting on your nerves, these girls be tripping or posting that pointless selfie of you in the bed. I see that junkie room behind you. You could of at least folded that laundry first. Okay I get it. We all need a little social media detox every now and then. Even me. It seems like people have become numb to seeing horrible images of fighting, killing, violence and hate being displayed right in their news feeds. Its sickening. And then there`s the booty pictures. Yes, we all have some saved in our camera roll but that doesn't mean you have to post it. Mam, don't look at me like that, I know you took a booty picture and sent it to your husband while he was at the office. Y'all nasty. I often find myself desiring that detox as ...
