YIKES, THAT'S RISKY


"Well, that's just a risk I'm willing to take."
-Me, every time I break my diet to eat a donut.

 Happy April! I don't know how ya'll 2019 feels but I, personally would like to start this year over. Like, why is this year trying to fight us? Was it the wine I had on New Year's Eve? Was it the cheese plate? Is it because I didn't make an actual resolution? Whatever it is... I TAKE IT BACK, LORD.

Now, if you've been following my journey here on Aintbritfunny, you know that I'm no stranger to taking risks. From moving across the country to follow a dream to quitting jobs I hate not knowing what was next. You know, all that scary stuff. The crazy part is, I sometimes enjoyed the rush that taking risks gave me. You usually go through 3 different steps:

1. Fear - "I should just do it... but hold on.." When you first get the idea of the risk, but you're afraid of the outcome.

2. Thrill - "Imma just do it! Matter of fact, I'm gone do it right now!" This is when you've made up your mind and no one and no thing can stop you. You are feeling yourself, my friend.

3. Reality - "Oh snap, I really did that." At this point, you're still on your high horse and you either start to question yourself or you stick your chest out and turn on some trap music because you know you made the right decision.


Well, it's only April and I've already taken about 73 risks this year. The difference this time is, it wasn't my decision and life has been forcing me to take them. I've been spending the last few weeks being upset and exhausted by it but I had to remind myself that I'm not always the one calling the shots. And maybe I needed to be forced to take those risks because I was too afraid to do it on my own.

Friends and family, the moral of the story is, if you scared, go to church. "On the surface, the most comfortable choice seems like the best choice but in the overall picture of your life, the most challenging choice is probably the best". I wish I could take credit for that quote but it was in something my Mama sent me the other day while I was taking a risk.

Ya'll get out here and get uncomfortable. If I didn't, I wouldn't have anything to blog about.

See you next week!

-BRIT

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...

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

GET OUT OF MY JEANS, MAN

"Nothing like a man in a suit" You can hear this in most conversations between women. I would have to agree. There is nothing like a man in a suit, a well tailored suit that is. Okay, I know what you might be thinking, here goes Britney being critical of appearance again. But hear me out guys, there`s a way to do everything. Your pants in ya booty or below it, is not the way. I`m not proud of some of the things I did in my earlier years when I was out here thinking that I knew everything. One of those things is dating those guys that, ya know, are a little rough around the edges. Excuse me, A LOT of rough around the edges. Its not that I didn't want to date a nice guy. I actually would like to take all of the guys I've dated and wrap them up into one big, sloppy, sexy, handsome man. Like, he wears tailored suits during the week, basketball shorts with a hint of sag at night and slightly skinny jeans on Saturdays. I don't know, somewhere on a scale from gangst...
