bey gets it right.
when she has a project coming out,
she stays quiet while promoting her brand.
at this point,
she doesn’t even give anyone interviews anymore.
she lets us feast on her drops and we do all the talking/fonting.
before and during her big moments,
she has mastered the art of silence.
during her downtime,
she is like a sleeping dragon who stays off the radar until she is awake.

Bey carries herself like royalty.

usher,
who just had a huge career resurgence and has everyone in lust…

decides to go do this…

i keep telling folks that being a celebrity or content creator isn’t easy.
don’t get me wrong,
there are perks that come with fame.
it can be very mentally and emotional draining tho.

It ain’t like our social media pages where we have full control of the narrative.

when we achieve fame,
we are a punching bag for the general public.
everyone will pick us apart with a fine tooth comb.
everything we say,
do,
and the people we choose to screw.
if we are perfect then our partners get it.
if we are flawless,
there are jackals waiting in the shadows for something to us against us.
i find that black vixens don’t always have it easy.
bey and rih did not have it easy but had backings from their day ones.
i’m thankful they are at point where everyone has no choice but to kiss their ass.
i saw a video of serena williams that made me compassionate for her…

“Now why am I in it?” Usher in his Nene Leakes voice.

folks are trying to get usher caught up (see what i did there?) in diddy’s mess.
ever since diddy got exposed by cassie,
the forests have been barking loud about his alleged bts behavior.
apparently and allegedly,
diddy put usher in the hospital at one point?…

remember after the rih and chris brown debacle,
chris brown defenders were all like:

“THE TRUTH IS GOING TO COME OUT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT CAR!”

i always asked if they were in the trunk and i was met with silence and grimaces.
i love playing devil’s advocate with these hoes.
the next week or month after the incident,
he throws a chair through a window at gma and i’m met with:

“They were picking on him and they made him angry asking him questions!”

i concluded there are a lot of simple bitches out here.
so i saw today that in megan and tory debacle,
kelsey nicole who was the best friend of megan and full blown attentionista,
is going to “speak” on some podcast:

Kelsey Nicole Harris, Megan Thee Stallion’s ex best friend and one of the key witnesses in the Tory Lanez trial, is sitting down for her first interview since the entire ordeal.

not this dateline exclusive podcast.
and i think many of us are collectively here to let kelsey know…

i was sitting here this morning,
reflecting before i started my day over a dream i had about work wolf.
i had to answer a question during shadow work and i conjured him from the emotional dead.

It made me realize how much of a Pick-Me I use to be.

yes i was.
i was a pick-me with no boundaries who was desperately trying to get picked.
in order to find yourself,
you gotta risk embarrassment but i ain’t embarrassed.
i’ll write it in big font:

I use to be a Pick-Me!

a pick-me can look like whatever or whoever and come from any social background.
there are plenty of IG attentionistos,
some of the baddest you ever seen,
that are putting up with all kinds of shit just to be chose.
you see how many of them get caught up being thirsty for sex.
so when i see charlamagne talmbout miss lady in the “who tf did i marry” saga…

i did not sleep last night.
i had full blown nightmares after reading the following.
this is def another yearly season of the “fuck yo guts up” bug.
when we travel to work or eat out,
we enhance our chances of getting that gut fucked up.
a few people i know caught this “no sir/no ma’am” violent diarrhea bug going around..
