i cried during the first episode of “carrie” on amazon prime.
it triggered me in so many ways.
i was once that young fox,
bright-eyed and bushy tailed,
who just wanted friendship.

those little jackals made my young life so difficult.

they made me feel like everything i did was wrong.
bad enough,
at home,
that is how i was being treated as well.

it was like i had no peace.

the only peace i had was playing with my toys and video games,
losing myself in creating good guys vs bad guys with my action figures.
i was “the weird one” but looking back,
they were all weird AF growing up so fast.
so this show really spoke to me.
i always thought carrie was a hero tbh.

if i had powers,
it would pretty much be over.

this is why God didn’t trust me with super powers of that magnitude.

the show was going well for me…

until (with spoilers)…

over the weekend,
i was craving to watch something that felt both real and raw.
it led me to watching megan the stallion‘s documentary,
“in her words”.
there’s been so much chatter about her supposedly lying about sleeping with tory lanez.
i couldn’t help but think,
“honestly, wouldn’t anyone lie about that?”
i wanted the full story of all that went down in 2020.
the whole messy and unfiltered truth.
the clips floating around on social media were painting her out to be this villain.
so i watched and let me font…

Fonting of The Boys…

i’ve realized that when i don’t watch something everyone is raving about,
it’s because i’m not ready for the message yet.
there are countless shows i’ve skipped because my spirit wasn’t prepared.
take “the boys” on amazon prime-
i’d heard the buzz but wasn’t feeling it.
out of nowhere over the weekend,
i felt this pull to start watching.
let me font you,
foxhole…

Remember when this scene in The Invisible Man with Aldis Hodge had us all in a choke hold?

there was no nudity in that movie but the way his tail looked in those slacks…

…it made the entire movie and made him a standout as well.
i’ve been wanting to see more aldis on my screen tbh.
we been needing more fine black wolves in hollywood on our screens.
aldis is going to reprise a role on amazon that tyler perry did years ago…

i have come to the conclusion some stans are severely mentally ill.
it’s one thing to like an artist but to go to the point of arguing,
even being absolutely nasty to others,
is just a teensy-tinsey bit:

i stanned when i was younger but i grew up and got better things to do.
donald glover is on his jordan peele energy.
we love to see it.
he is coming out with production about the hive.
i had to wonder if beyonce signed off on this but chloe bailey is in it so…

i love shows that revitalize my sense of purpose.
sometimes,
we all need a boost from our current circumstances.
even though the shows are fiction,
we often see what we want in life through the lens of a tv show.
all the white vixens moved to new yawk to experience that “sex and the city” lifestyle.
i worked with white girls that piled in a one-bedroom to live their best hoe life because of that show.

harlem on amazon prime did that for me over the weekend.
it was created by tracy oliver who was a writer on one of my favorite “black girl friendship” movies,
“girls trip“.
the show was also executive produced by pharrell williams and amy poehler.
i saw the trailer a week ago:

…and i was sold when i saw my childhood crush,
meagan good.
after watching it in one sitting until 4 am on saturday…
