Imitation of Life


 It’s funny the twists and turns of this thing called life.  I feel like we are all just here winging it and even when someone gives us a blueprint or sets it up for us it's still never easy.  I mainly think it's not easy because of all of things like the conditioning and the brainwashing that comes from society.  

Life is so fleeting and to think we worry almost our entire lives about love and money and some of us just worry about the basics or bare minimums a place to lay their head at night.  You know when I lived out of my car for a week one time, I never realized how much I took taking a shower for granted.  


I called this blog The Imitation of Life because it was the name of a movie my mother introduced to me! It’s about a mixed girl who could pass completely for white, but her father had disowned her, so she only had her black mother who looked after her. She hated her mother for being black but at the end of the movie when her mother dies, she had a complete meltdown on her open casket funeral. Before that if she saw her mother in the street, she would not even speak to her.  


Why am I talking about this movie or why is it even a thought because just the statement alone " Imitation of Life" shows us how caught up we are in the illusion of things:  someone’s color , what they wear , how they wear their hair, where they live , what they can and can’t pronounce , what they believe spiritually to be the truth , why they don’t eat this, why they don’t say it like the way you say it, why don’t they own a house , why they don’t have a car , why do they not talk a lot , why do they choose to be silent about something, why can’t they pay their bills on time like you do, why they don’t workout , why they decided to never go to college, why do they workout, y'all WHY anything ????

 How often do you find yourself imitating something that just isn’t who you really are. Do you ever sit and say who am I??? Probably not!  who questions this go with the flow super sensitive ass society we live in? Do we ever even really question manners to someone we don’t even know or better yet someone we do know. I literally just want to be softer!!! Not imitating Kim K or the BBL stripper! Not imitating balling out of control to prove to someone I have money, that will be 10 shots of Don Julio 1942 😑😑😑. You can’t take a single thing with you not your body your money or all the hoes you claim to have! And for the people who commit their lives to being wholesome and good to your spouse and family you are an exceptional light to society. Not perfect but a light or are you??

I’m not saying you are perfection because our flaws are what make us human just don’t become cold don’t become numb out of routine, but it will become both if you are just an imitation of someone else’s life. 

It’s been a minute but I’ll be back soon with a thought but out loud ✌🏽

Accepting Bare Minimum has to stop ✋

  Just when you thought I might not ruffle some feathers 🪶 yep this is a big one ☝🏽 and it’s one we need to talk about because it has happened so often in different faucets of everyone’s life. I was recently in a situation where a guy I was dating was a huge liar and the funny part is me and the other woman ended up becoming friends once we found out about each other.  The biggest thing for me with meeting her and becoming her friend made me realize how much we as woman accept the bare minimum and we also think that the guy who is a liar and a cheat is going to change for us at some point ,because we are so nice and loving.  I realized how many of us will say things like he was working and paying the bills I was so proud of him.  Why are we so proud of bare minimum behavior?? Most men I know are paying the bills because they just want to do that, they feel it is a part of their duties as a man.  However, if a guy comes along who is always looking for just sex ...

The Grind

  Well, its super obvious that I should be talking about the grind.  Especially since I haven't posted since damn near January.  I had my Grand Opening for my Permanent Makeup Microblading studio in Atlanta and I have been Bartending in Midtown!! Yay to me getting shit done right!!💙 But honestly inflation has been an absolute Bitch!  I feel like I am constantly on the move, and I know everyone else is no stranger to this life of go go go!!   I sometimes just want to give back to those less fortunate than me.  Its interesting to me that finding the time to even do noble things has been hard lately.  Its definitely a time thing.  To be honest if there was one thing I could do it would be volunteer, but I am literally trying to understand how do the laws of the land insist we just run around paying bills all the time this is the most mindless thing I can think of to enforce on a society.  Working to ...

New Age Dating : Texting , Tinder WTF

  I recently read somewhere that a guy is Not invested in deepening the connection between you if he  only texts you and doesn't initiate calls or plans to meet up in person, it's a strong indication that he might not be as interested in you as someone he wants to pursue seriously; while texting can be a way to connect, a lack of effort to   move beyond texting could be a lack of genuine interest.  I have found that nothing ever really evolves from a text relationship for most people, however how interesting is it that a friend of mines met someone online and they are now about to get married . The real question is how can you really tell if a person is being truly sincere with only texting and online only communicating?  In general  Texting is a low-effort way to communicate, so if he only texts, he might be comfortable keeping you at a distance without actively pursuing you.  A guy or girl who wants to get to know you better will likely want to have ...
