the "n" word

Okay, so why did Oprah move her Legends Ball?

Happy late moms day!!!! I effs with all the women who had a hand in raising me. Thanks!

Had a chill weekend. Nicole, Kisha and the kids came in town. I think all of my friends have huge families, you know, the kind where there’s always "the kind of _____, who is always_____"

Things felt sort of "normal" this weekend. Though I don’t actually know what "normal" is, and I think ima stop using that "n" word, cause what is normal actually?

"Glad things are back to normal" is that a state of complacency that we are comfortable in being? Really, what is ur definition of the “n” word? A day or constant period of time when the demand for change isn't required?

I don't want to be "normal." I ain't gonna lie, at one time I did. I conformed to whatever the people around me were doing plus some. I didn't know myself, so I defined me through others, conforming to someone else's normal state of being. Ish happened, times, situations and people changed and I found myself by myself. I did have to learn the hard way. I was put in situations that confirmed God was my only sense of strength and being. During this time I learned to be obedient to God and let time heal the rest of those wounds. Through my struggles I learned who I really was and who I had the potential to be…I you know me then u know normal is not in my character. Through life situations, God continues to teach me.

I watch America’s next top model faithfully, and every week Tyra (and her blinking eyes) tells the girls “If you want to be a model and win this competition, you have to stand out and distinguish yourself from the other girls here” then she goes on to “I have only 2 photographs in my hand, one of the you will stay, the other girl, who I do not call must immediately…LMAO.

Naw for real, we are ordinary people, but our potential self is extraordinary.
