LET'S GET UNCOMFORTABLE

"It's just not my thing, I don't feel comfortable."

You would think that by now, at my big age, I'd understand that life does not care whether or not you're comfortable. It's gone throw stuff at you. Sometimes you might catch it and sometimes it might hit you in your back when you not looking.

The past few weeks we've been talking about seasons. The season of waiting, the season of building while you're waiting and this week, the season of discomfort that that comes with it all. Some may refer to it as growing pains. You know what they say, "In order to get something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done." Also, who is "they" and why they be talking so much?

I'll give ya'll a few quick examples and I'm gone let ya'll go because ya'll ain't about to make me late for work, I need this job:

Aight so boom... I absolutely love bread and sweets but I hate the gym. However, I want to look good in my birthday outfits (and out of my birthday outfits if ya nasty) So I have completely cut those things out of my diet until my birthday and have started a regular workout routine that makes my legs feel like noodles but hey, I gotta pay the price to be sexy.

Ya'll all know my struggle with stepping outside of my box to do stand up comedy. For years, I've told folks that I am strictly an actress and writer. And I would almost have a lil attitude when they ask me if I do it (I'm sorry, I was probably just hungry). But now, I realize that I was putting my own self in a box. What if I've been blocking my blessings this whole time? What if stand up comedy is the path that I need to take in order to get me to my dream role?

Fam, the moral of the story is, at first their sour, then their sweet. You have to allow yourself to feel a little uncomfortable in order to experience the results that you want. So maybe if you're uncomfortable shooting your shot, you need to stop being scary and slide in they DM's.

I'm not doing that though. I'm the slidee not the slider.

See ya'll next week!

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?&quo

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?
