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!

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...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...

KIDS ON KIDS ON KIDS

"You don't have kids yet? That`s rare." I`m 26, never been married, engaged, or even close, why is that so rare? In my opinion, I`m just getting started with my own life. Okay maybe not JUST getting started but I`m still in my prime. Like, I`m working on myself. Look, I just don't have the money for any extra people, okay? Ive reached the age where I`m starting to see many of my peers in my news feeds getting married and having children. Meanwhile, I'm over here stalking this sexy dude on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Myspace. (Don't act like y'all don't remember Myspace.) Marriage is a beautiful thing. I enjoy looking at everyone`s wedding photos and thinking about how I`m going to steal some of those ideas for myself one day. I`m also looking at the groomsmen to see if any of them are sexy. Don't be surprised if I show up to your reception uninvited trying to catch the bouquet. As long as dude doesn't have any kids. Listen, don't g...
