Some Motivation to get you Through the Week

Good afternoon all!

I'm a collector. I like to collect all types of craziness. Well I'd like to share one of my collections with you. I like to collect little motivational and witty messages. I don't know about you but I'm a quote person. Sometimes keeping a particular quote in my head gets me through the day. So I'd like to share some I saved last week to help you get through this one. 

I hope these help! They surely work for me :-) I don't know if I'm supposed to give credit but follow the pages of their quotes seem to catch your eye. 

Happy Sunday!

I Hope This Can Help You!

I almost gave up.  Almost.  The last two weeks I've been walking around barely here just existing (if you read my previous works, simply existing sucks).  But besides walking around like a drone, I almost gave in.  I almost did something I've never done. 

Now everyone I'm going to give you a glimpse of the struggle so please don't judge.  Most people give you that motivation you need when they've been through it, I'm gone give it to you RIGHT NOW and right here.  Yesterday I was laying on my bed watching the ceiling fan spin and spin and spin.  Laying there I had a negative balance of $4 in my account, an eighth of a tank of gas, and a dead spirit.  I'm laying there literally like "damn what the fuck am I about to do". I only saw two options: move back home or struggle until you have no choice to go back home. After talking to the most inspirational person in my life (well second to my mama) I was just like fuck it I might as well just go back home and try it again later. And yes I laid there and cried, got mad, and cried again.

But suddenly. In my body I felt a jolt. A mysterious jolt that made me get the hell up.  It made me get up so fast.  Something in me told me that if I kept feeling sorry for myself and sulking around I was going to turn right into that person I was feeling sorry for.  And you better believe I did not want to be her.  She's all fragile and judging -- ugghhh she gets on my last nerves lol.  But last night something was at work inside of me and honestly I don't know what it was.  I instantly got up and realized that I needed to take action.  I hopped out of that bed, ran to my car, and hit the library.  I applied for as many jobs as I could in that hour and a half.  Next I started ACTIVELY looking for a cheaper apartment and by actively I mean researching, asking questions, and setting up tours. 

So here's where I leave you all with something a little clearer than my story.  There are 3 things I want you to think about when you wake up, when you're feeling down, when you simply feel like giving up.

1. FAITH. You have to have faith in something or you're going to constantly feel like you're living for nothing.  Everyone needs to believe in something.You can't live day to day just existing, find you something to have faith in and you'll feel better about good and bad circumstances.

2. Communicate.  When you're having a bad day or a bad week that's not something you need to keep to yourself. Let your friends and family know. Every battle you do not have to fight alone. Have someone you feel comfortable talking to because they're really going to come in handy. Shit if need be send me a message and I'll talk to your. Grow your support system. 

3. Don't think, know! You're going to have to know that things are going to get better. If you create a mindset where you're thinking the worst or simply thinking "realistically", it's going to kill your spirit every time. Think & act optimistically in everything you do and everything will get better. That's a promise. 

So no . . . I don't have another job yet. And yes I do still have bill collectors calling my phone. I'm in the midst of this struggle. And guess what? My biopic is going to be soooo good lbs.  Stay blessed. 

Queen Court Invaded Vegassss :-)

Okay well fhe title should tell it all. Last week I went to Vegas for a very very late birthday present to myself. It was quite an experience lol. It was sooo nice to have a vacation with no worries. It was the most peaceful I've been in awhile. I did learn some things that I want to share with you all. You never know when you're going to hit Sin City up. 

1. If you're staying on the strip, know where on the strip you're staying. Well what I'm saying is know what side of the strip you're staying on because I did kind of separate them. There's the turn up, younger crowd side (Flamingo, Mirage, etc.) and then there's the side that's more family oriented and for an older crowd (Circus Circus, Riviera, etc.). Know what side you want to stay on because they're not really walking distance to each other especially when you're trying to feet drunk, be pretty, and explore. 

2. Explore for food. Food on the strip is so expensive. Like really expensive. It's better to travel to downtown Las Vegas for better deals on the food and it tastes a lot better. The Strip has some moderate pricing during their happy hours but you have to be good at catching them. 

3. Beware of promoters unless you're very very timely. So we had an experience with a party promoter where we got set up with admission to a strip club, night club, and day club. And you get a limo to take you. Sounds great? Yeah well at the first club you have to pay for admission, which is $30 and includes two drinks. For the nightclub you HAVE to be there before 12 or the guest list "closes" and you have to pay general admission ($20-$40).  And on top of that if you don't make it to the club, the limo only drops you off at home, nowhere else. So essentially you need to be getting to the strip club (can't opt out) when the damn strippers arrive just so you make it to this other club by 12. Lol a whole mess. And then the day club … you better walk your ass there no matter where you're staying. Limos are limited time only lbs. 

That's the jist of what I wanted to share. I'll post some pics from the trip. You knowwww I had to bring it the best way I know how. Comment and subscribe. I got some good stuff coming soon :-)

3 People to Keep Out of Your Life

Hello my 2 or 3 faithful readers I know its been a while and I apologize.  I feel like I'm always apologizing to you all.  Well I'm SORRY.  I've been a lousy blogger lately.  I've been living and learning a lot and I haven't been sharing.  That's selfish.  Well I'm here to let you all know the type of people I want you to immediately kick out of your life.  And good for you if you haven't met them but this is a go-to list to help you avoid them.  I'm not the type of person to give up on anyone, I mean my life's purpose is to help but remember there are categories you have to divide people into.  You can have one of these people in your life if you're helping THEM but it should NEVER be the other way around.  Friends are angels who uplift you, not blood sucking monsters who bring you down.

1. The Leech -- title doesn't sound appealing at all huh?  You're going to want to stay away from people who simply always take take take from you.  Now I'm not saying, oh don't help your friends out, I'm saying don't constantly help someone who's not even putting energy into helping their self.  If you find yourself constantly giving, not just materialistic things, you need to step back and ponder has these actions been reciprocated.  If you find yourself investing so much and just feeling drained at the end, you my darling have encountered a leech and you need to pluck their ass off (excuse my language).

2. The 'Super honest cause I'm lowkey hating' friend -- have you ever told a friend a little white lie? Like that dress totally does not make you look fat or you look so much better than your ex's new girlfriend and it wasn't true.  Don't stress! As a friend, that's what you're supposed to do (remember there's a difference between a little white lie and a downright lie).  We always had  I, myself, have had occasions where I'm standing in the mirror and I'm blurting out comments about what I need to improve in front of my friends.  As a friend, I NEVER down my friend's for physical attributes, it's just wrong.  There's nothing wrong with putting in honest comments for improvement.  But if you're hearing, "Yeah you are fat as hell" over "Yeah you gained some weight but we can start hitting the gym" or "you ain't got no edges girl" over " your hair has been thinning, I know something you can use", PLEASE PLEASE give that hating hoe what she wants . . .a new friend!

3. Miss Switch It Up -- I've always thought it was great to be able to adapt to all environments, but it's not cool to be adapting to different friends.  Be original and work hard on your brand! That's it and that's all.  You should not be molding yourself to hang with different people.  I'm sure everyone Jay Z hangs out with does not act like Jay Z.  If you have a friend that acts like a different person around every group of friends she hangs with, please get them out your life.  What you don't need is someone to switch it up especially when you really need consistency.

Well guys I had like 2 more types for you but my friends are rushing me for my attention.  There will definitely be a part 2 in the future and I'm sure I will have met some other crazyyyy people to add to this list.

Good night my little glamourettes!

QOD: Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but rather how to dance in the rain.

Change

Just thinking that maybe, possibly, at the end all there will be is … darkness makes me want to live, and I mean really live, not simply exist. It makes me want to love without constraints and never settle. It makes me want to speak when I should and even when I shouldn't. It makes me want to be me with no excuses. I don't know what the "end" is like or even if it is the end but I know what right now is like & I plan on living right now just how I want. Vegas are you ready for me?

Retail Hell Vol. 2

Hello my little glamourettes.  I've missed you all so much. As always life has been hectic. Family issues, work issues, lol the only thing going good is school. 

But before I get to sentimental with my life LET ME TELL YOU! Haha I'm so dramatic.

Dumb asses is the topic of this post today. I had the biggest family of dumb ass thieves the other day. Lol so I'm changing face outs (the clothing that pops out at you on the wall) when this little girl directly asks her mother, "are you going to steal this for me?" 

ARE YOU SERIOUS? PEOPLE please stop coming to steal with your children. Because they turn into little thieves and then they create a record and can't get a job by the time they actually qualify for one. And then tax payers will be paying for them to sustain in society. If you gone be a thieving bitch then do you because honestly it's too late for you. If you 30 and stealing non-essential shit then I have no faith in you growing the fuck up. 

But anyways the lady & me met eyes and she knew that I knew that shit wasn't happening today. So she walked her thieving ass up to the register and paid for that shit. Funny is an understatement. I do not condone theivery and I furthermore don't condone dumbassness when you're doing it. 

Bonus story is of the cheapest hoe I've met in my 21 years of life (well except that woman who only let her man take like 2 minute showers & shit). So I'm watching my coworker check this woman out and she grabbed one of our $1.90 camis that used to code $1.80. So of course she finds one of the old marked camis and notices it rings up as $1.90. This broke ass hoe had a fit. Never mind the fact she's with her whole man who's looking on embarrassed as hell because the hoe is tripping over $0.10.  

She goes on to tell how she worked at Forever 21 & we can change the price in the system 😒😒😒 uh no bitch. Cheapisha then brings a $6.80 skirt up there and it rings up to … $5.90. Lmfao so I'm like so do you want us to upcharge you. Of course her dumb ass looked like 😕 a deer in fucking lights. Boyyyy I tell you. These customers are a piece of work. 

Retail Hell Vol. 1

Soooo was today come to the mall & show your ass day or something? Or maybe it was come to Forever 21 and act like you have the maturity of a 12 year old day? No, not it? Maybe it was … lol okay it doesn't matter what day it was but majority of my customers today have been really frucking reckless. 

Customer 1: First let me say she looks about 15 or 16 comes to purchase a $95 transaction but has her dad's credit card. Unfortunately we need the ID OF THE PERSON WHOSE CARD IT IS to accept credit. Basically she throws a bitch for calling the store and everything associated with it stupid. Well it wasn't that fuxking stupid when you were about to spend all your allowance here, was it little whore? Ughh why me? After asking if she could get a pin code or if she'd like me to hold them, she gave me the rudest, stalest answers.  But you know I always clap back so I had to kill her with kindness and dismiss her ass from my presence. 

Customer 2: She clearly was a fucking mute. Are you ready to check out? Nothing. Did you find everything okay? Nothing. But she surely could have a great conversation with the cashier next to me. I hate to play the race card but damn that's all I could figure it being. Why can't people realize that if you can't learn to live with us then bitch you need to build a spaceship and leave the fucking planet :-)

Customer 3-infinity: Lots of asshole jerks in all different shapes and sizes. 

But I'm still happy BECAUSE I am fabolous and I KNOW if I ever see them in the street I can (but I won't) kick that ass. 

Until next time lovelies … queen out!
