Day 23 - Pet Peeve: Fucking Up and What the FUCK am I doing???

I've started reading You are a Badass blah blah blah long ass title. Already I'm thinking, "nah." What I've found is that all self-help books have the same message. I know I'm not a winner, but I can't get on board with this stuff. Isn't that sad? I'm losing at life, but not willing to get into the hippie new age stuff being sold in the self-help world. I don't know what I'm doing.
I have known and tried to explain to several people that I have no passions in life. Absolutely nothing. I have done everything I EVER wanted to do in this life and way more that I didn't want to do. Now what do I do? Just keep trucking along, mindlessly? How??? That is all. That is all I've been thinking about for the past few days. I almost didn't come back at all, but I'm trying not to be a quitter.

Even I wasn't pessimistic enough to believe Trump would win...

I know I'm always like wah, wah, wah, me, me, me, but I am a Black woman in this country so I do have other concerns. So, I knew America was racist as fuck even during these "post-racial" times, but I knew not how low these muthafuckas would go. I thought to myself, ok, surely, no one is dumb enough to choose the unqualified, unprepared, psychopath to run the nation. Surely. I was a fool to think that. Just like I thought SURELY after all this footage of cops shooting and a lot of times killing unarmed citizens (not always even suspects), then they would either have to stop doing it or have a damn good reason. My faith in humanity extended too far. When they said a man associated with BLM was the reason those cops were targeted and shot was found, but they sent a robot with a bomb to kill him I had more than a hunch. That didn't even make sense. Even if I were to believe that since when is that how we handle criminals when the ones who shot up schools and churche...

Day 13 - Pet peeve: niceties

I hate niceties. Absolutely. As a child, this would get me in more trouble than anything else. As talkative and ruminative (that is now a word, per my say so) as I am, I hate extraneous shit. Extraneous is relative, though. Anyway, not saying good morning, in the fucking morning, was always met with "did I sleep with you last night?" Even now, I don't know what the fuck that means. I would prefer someone who I slept with to speak to me before anyone else. That's for certain. Anyway, I don't like mornings and I don't like talking in the morning so good morning is a double whammy. I guess the biggest issue I have is that people seem to prefer the show of a thing as opposed to the thing. That bothers me more than niceties. Like the time the POTUS was in Saudi Arabia or wherever and people were up in arms that he wore linen pants to a funeral. It's a million got damn degrees and, because of the show people require, dressing for the weather is seen as disrespe...

The pros to being single when you don’t necessarily want to be and have no one else to turn to who lives in the same state as you

“Congratulations! You have acquired one human body. This was a poor decision, but it is probably too late for you to do anything about it. Life, alas, has an extremely strict return policy.” Matt from the book The Art of Starving So, I have reached a crux and have decided to present you guys with a sort of juxtaposition as to how to soldier on. Before I get started, let me start with my problem besides the aforementioned. I cannot in good faith and with my best interest at heart, get into a serious relationship with a man. Men are the way my orientation swings and how I WISH that were not the case. I cannot put trust and my life in the hands of another, especially one who will lie to prevent me from cursing them out just so they have the opportunity to keep fucking me. Or because it’s “cheaper to keep her”, if you will. Mentally cheaper, I suppose. How am I supposed to hand over my direct deposits and my STD free status to some man? Riddle me that shit. I can’t, is the answ...
