One of my black students, this smart lil girl, I asked her if she was going to the Fair, and she said no, Bc her folks saving for a house. I said, if they say I can take you, I will. She told me today they said yes. Lol I’ve met them. Taking my lil niece next weekend I guess.
The key to staying active is figuring out your niche. The gym isn’t the only way to workout. Gym, Spin Class, Swimming, Walking, Tennis, Boxing, Pilates, etc. Find the one you like enough, and do it often.
A lot of people are struggling in their late 20’s-Early 30’s, bc they assumed their parents randomly had community. Nah, it requires real work. You HAVE to show up for people. We are all battling (life stuff), but to think you always cancel on folks & they’ll be there, Tuh 😂
As a woman, you really do have to wise up, in regards to dealing with menfolk. You can't be daft/blind your entire life. All that empathy gone get you hurt fr.
Now, I wanna make it a little day out. She’s a super smart and respectful kid. When I met her parents, they told me how she always talks about my class. Lol Imma ask her if she’d like to do anything else. 💞
If y’all wanna help me get lil niece some stuff at the fair $usiuwoma; it would be appreciated. Idk how much it’s gonna cost me. She told me she wants to eat there & ride rides.
Just find a way. I literally would sleep my life away for times at a time if I didn’t make sure I show up for my friends, bc to me, that’s what’s important. I don’t always wanna be at stuff, but, I go bc duty calls.
She had lunch with me today, and said she’s completely excited for our fair outing! Imma take her get her nails done after, some clothes, & other stuff she told me she needs. She was very grateful. Lol even said she wants us to workout at the end of that day. Lol
A lot of ppl be on social media complaining about an inability to make friends post schooling, and it won’t fall in your lap. You gotta go to events/etc, genuinely be ready to connect with folks, bc there are ppl equally ready to connect with you also, in actuality.
I feel like 2020 lockdown changed how ppl show up for others also, and not saying you’ll be able to always be everywhere, but you can’t not anywhere/available, and be expectant of something you haven’t help cultivate.
!!!!!! Girl, why my principal argued with me last week when I suggested spelling tests for my 6th graders that NEED it, and said the DISTRICT told them, “research says they don’t determine intelligence.” 😐 Ok, so what research say bout them learning how to spell then??
I hate to sound like a boomer but we need to take them damn computers away, bring back PEN AND PAPER, long division, geography class, writing essays with pen and paper, (reading them aloud), spelling test ect
People in HR need to know what not to say. A lady helping me with my paperwork really pissed me off. Had a section where you put parents, and I didn’t add my dad because he’s deceased. She gone mark it and say, “if father is unknown, put that he’s unknown.” Bitch, what?
Some adult skills I’d suggest ppl look into are: how to be there for ppl in different seasons, such as: grief, unemployment, mental illness, becoming a parent, etc. Too many times the excuse of “Idk how or what to do,” when you can Google/YT it. Nothing new under the ☀️

Man listen. Lack of that, and just not wanting to feel like they wasted time, afraid of the truth, upon endless other foolish reasons. At the end of the day, no matter how much you wanna be coupled up, it can't be at your own detriment. That's just careless/foolish.
If you acknowledge this about yourself, change it. You don’t wanna be the one who drops her friends/loses her identity for a partner, then you’re assed out when things go left. You’re your own individual outside of everything else in your life.
I have a degree in English, and I’m looking for job opportunities that are remote or in my area. I can edit, revise, proofread, transcribe, etc. I’m teachable.
I’m based in Jackson, MS.
RT to help me find work!
I understand indulging in celebrity gossip; but the Halle Bailey one has been annoying to see y’all partake in. Bc, again, if she is pregnant, now what? Will you send her a gift? She owe y’all a reveal?
A lot of ppl are missing the marker here. To show up doesn’t require $. To be an active friend doesn’t mean you’re at everything, you’re trying. Friendships require work meaning you must be there for the person. If you ghost a friend twice a year for 6 months? Who will be left?
Hello! My name is Usiuwoma. I’m located in Jackson, Mississippi and I do monthly Pop Ups selling Nigerian Food. I also offer catering. For updates on upcoming events, follow me on IG/FB @ usiuwomaskitchen. Thank you! ❤️💕👩🏾🍳🍚🍗
Yes inflation exists, yes some of us work more hours than our parents did, but if in a 30 day month you can’t carve out zero time to go visit your friend that’s local, or call/FT/text a friend, THAT’S YOU. Life does not get easier, it only gets more demanding. Good luck!
A person can have the money, don't mean we wanna pay $6 for gas, $300 for knotless braids, or hella money for shit that's NEVER been this high before. TF
The same excuses you’re using as to why you can’t, is why you’ll look up in 5-10 more years and trying to figure out what happened. Ppl forget friendships are relationships also. & ppl asking how do you do it, their are many resources online, Google it for starters.
People wanna say how many black mayors Jackson has had, as if the mayor doesn’t have to go through the Governor to get shit done. If someone has been in office 2-4 years, but we’ve had boil water notices my entire life (‘93), how is it the current mayor’s fault? Let’s be fr!!!!
And, this why I dislike when those wives on TikTok gloat about not knowing the bills of the house, where they’re paid or anything, gone f around and be homeless or something, because your mans got a gambling habit or bad with y’all’s money. Be in the know, always!
Ppl are shocked in adulthood that you have to do things for it to happen. Kickbacks, folks getting on the grill, having community, it takes work. If you don’t have the crib, you should help with groceries for the function. Truth be told, ppl want the benefits & not contribute 🙂
Chile. They swear because the youngins say yes, it’s a go. Like they not the more mature one. That’s why I’m huge on protecting the youngins. Predators be preying heavy!
The lengths yall be going to defend haveing sexual relationships with TEENAGERS is sick like yall really dead ass think its ok for people to be fucking on kids because the teenagers are "consenting"??? Teenagers are ok with alot of shit that dont make a lick of sense soooo
If a person has lost or gained a lot of weight since you last saw them, don’t ask them what happened. Such an invasive question that benefits you in no way what so ever.
Tough convos change lives. You confused on your relationship, ask. Want a raise at work, type up a proposal to your boss. Confused on where your friendship is with someone, ask. Tough doesn’t men easy, obviously, but it’s better than indifferent or lost.
I like being alone 98% of the time. I don’t feel bad about it. I like silence. I enjoy listening to the A/C or the birds outside my window. I don’t enjoy constant contact. I enjoy my own company 1000%.
I don’t care about status. If you have terrible character, I don’t want you around me. Your accolades are commendable, but how are you as a person? Do you belittle and look down on others?
Counter question: When Shaq goes on platforms repeatedly saying how he dogged her out while they were married, why do we AND their kids need to hear that? 🙂😄
I saw Shaunie (Shaq’s ex-wife) say she doesn’t think she loved Shaq while they were married. I know she has to sell a book but how are ppl so comfortable saying shit like that regarding the parent of their children? Why do we, and more importantly your kids, need to know that?
Best lessons I’ve learned about relationships are:
- Leave when your gut first tells you too
- No second chances
- When they show you who they are, believe them the first time, instead of overlooking it
- Love don’t make you cry/hurt
- Be single if it’s not making sense
