I DON'T WANNA GROW UP

"You a flower and you need to make sure that man watering you."
-Dude at the gym when when I lied about having a man

When we think of GROWING, we usually don't see it in a negative way. When you think of GROWING, you think of words like: New, Exciting, Fun. But growth means change. And as we discussed a few blogs ago, change means discomfort and sometimes, that's exactly what growth is.

I remember one summer when I was a little girl and I was out in my front yard playing jump rope. I was having so much fun! I jumped and jumped and jumped until I landed from one of those jumps with an excruciating pain in my knee. My parents took me to the doctor where I found out I had some type of growth spurt in my bones while jumping.

That sound familiar to ya'll? You ever be minding your business, having fun and BOOM, growth spurt! Maybe you were having fun on that job you've been with for years and BAM, something happened, now you have to find another one. Maybe you were having fun in that relationship you were just starting to get comfortable in and BOOM they start acting up. Maybe you were having fun in that friendship you were in and BAM, they true colors start to show.

It's not always something that you did wrong, it was just time to grow.

Fam, the moral of this story is, new things grow in every season. Just like the leaves in the fall and the flowers in the spring. But first, we have to endure brutal winters and rain. Life is really no different than nature. Everything has it's own season. In each season, we experience something new. Sometimes it's an easy, exciting transition and sometimes it's tough and discouraging. Please know that I do not have it all figured out. I've been questioning my entire existence since the start of 2019. I can only hope that we all go into this new season having learned from our past ones.

That being said, I'm taking this next week to get my life in order! I'll see ya'll sometime in April.

Happy Spring!

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 ...
