I'll admit that most times I'm rather passive and I have the patience to eat a lot of shit but if I wanted to change that, how would that go?

In recent months, I've been more honest and direct about my feelings but I'm really trying to avoid the angry black woman route. However, I'd love to be treated with as much consideration and respect as I employ to others.

Is there a way to successfully navigate such potentially awkward social waters? And how does one go about it without reading the riot act to every single person possible?

And immd correct anybody who dares.

Like...asap. Right when its hot and fresh on your mind.

That right there you just did or said? That hurt my feelings. Because ______. I don't appreciate that because _________. Don't do that any more.

If they don't like it cut their ass off until they get right or permanently if they are consistent line steppers

You need to make you the priority in your world. You and your kids. Everybody else is.

Good luck


does it really matter?

for all my fans who keep my name in their mouth: http://i.imgur.com/v2xNOpS.jpg

if they don't, they ain't worth it.

Some people just aren't worth investing any energy into.

One of the things I've learned how to do as I've gotten older is the able to disagree with people strongly without it being an argument or a big deal.

I've notice that people hate to disagree or confront or raise issues whether professionally or socially.

Or people are the other extreme and take every disagreement to world war 3 like some people are suggesting to you already.

I think there is a middle road where you can be direct, get what you want, without being that person.
