Hey, Y'all! (Paula Deen voice lol)
Okay, so I know I promote this page as something of a place for me to exhibit my work, I'm a writer, obviously I want you to read. But let's cut to the chase here. No one wants to read the work of an artist that they know nothing about, right? I mean, don't get me wrong, mystery is good in some cases, but not this one.
Unfortunately for y'all, I have no pictures of myself scantily clad with tons of makeup in semi-erotic poses. That would definitely have drawn more traffic to this blog, I'm sure. I'm sure that if right now, if I put up a pic of myself half naked in a come-hither pose licking my lips or something of that nature, I'd have about 200 "likes" in less than 10 minutes. What is it they say? SEX SELLS??? Exactly. Well it won't be selling on THIS blog. I can't give you what sells, what's hot right now, or what society believes is the trend at the moment. I can't provide you with an unusual means of entertainment that involves abnormal amounts of violence or videos that most would find hilarious. I can't, and I won't. But what I can give you, is the truth. For those of you who know me, you know that I have the tendency to say whatever is on my mind, whenever it's on my mind, no holds barred, regardless of whether or not I hurt someone's feelings. That's just the way I am, the way I've always been, and the way I always will be. There's no changing me. Love me as I am, or leave me alone, I could honestly care less either way.
Most of you know that I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and that I now live in Atlanta, GA…but screw the demographics and all that blah blah blah, you guys truly don't give a flying hell about where and how I grew up. You just want to know what makes me ME, what makes me TICK, what makes me say and do some of the shit I do. Well, here it is: I'm NOT normal, I DON'T give a f***, and I DON'T "go with the flow" just to fit in. Did I mention I don't give a f***? That being said, writing has always been an outlet for me, whether I'm happy, sad, irritated, pissed off, amorous, whatever. Whatever I'm feeling, whenever I'm feeling it, however I'm feeling it, if I can't express it verbally or emotionally. I express it in writing. It's easier, and a whole hell of a lot more cleansing than If I'd have just had a heart to heart with someone who possibly either doesn't care about me like I imagine they would, or who may possibly go tell everyone they know, or worse yet, judge me. None of which I need if I'm going through something.
A lot of people ask me, "Why is it so sad?" or "Who broke your heart?" Honestly, a lot of my writing, especially my poetry, has nothing directly to do with me. A lot of it is based on what I've observed, whether in my own life or someone else's, or things that I've experienced or other people have experienced. Basically, I can derive inspiration from anything, or anyone. Realistically, everything has to have a basis, right? But it's the truth. The slightest things can inspire me to write something profound….or even something silly, depending on my mood. I have a lot of silly free writes, just because I was in a goofy mood and felt like writing, but wasn't really serious about it. I get like that sometimes (LOL).
So, you wonder, "What made her post this?" or "Why should I care?" Well, you should, and even if you don't, I just wanted to give you all a little inside look. And this won't be the last post like this. You might see more like this, especially if I'm ranting or raving about something…so be on the lookout for more posts like these, you may just learn something, lol. Just kidding. Or maybe I'm not…you'll never really know though, now will you? ;-)
