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!

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?
