Yes, I am not the best looking. I am not like the Instagram models you see everyday, No, I don't like going to parties or going outside at all. I'd rather play video games and chill inside with my friends. Yes, I understand boys play basketball or shooting games. Yes, I like being by myself if I'm forced to go to a party. No, I don't care why are you asking so much. I like the way I am and no one on this Earth can tell me otherwise. I'm this goofy, fun, loving, gamer chick who really likes making music and writing stories that the whole world can see.
No, I don't like to reveal my body as much. Nobody has to criticize the way I look and down me as a young black female. They can only pay attention to the inside (aka my personality) Yes, I'm from New Orleans, and I do have an accent but don't assume since I'm from here I'm on the streets all the time with no supervision what so ever. My mom is raising a young queen. Yes, I hate society and the way that it's changing. Women are being oversexualized and men are choosing lighter women over darker when they should realize all black is beautiful. However, I do believe they have smart people who aren't sick in the head somewhere in this world.
Yes, I'm gonna be real with you. I love the music a little today but why does people love to talk about their body, how many people they had sex with, How many people they killed (which they are probably lying about) Why can't people just be themselves. Why do people have to fit in to be cool. No way I'll be having to act like a cold person just to get someone to like me. I like my goofy, weird personality. Nobody doesn't have to be this girl who doesn't care about a boy and no boy have to be a "player" to be cool with the boys and be with a different girl every week. If you don't like how much I talk about the difference from 2k17 and 2k20, or the new weapons on Call of Duty, or how Vegeta is wayy better than Goku, then maybe you don't deserve to be my friend.
Yes, I have big dreams to go to London and travel the world and perform even though I have horrible stage fright. I love to sing and rap about how I'm feeling. Music still has a feeling right? No, I will never write about the "street life" or whatever you want to call it. I'm a young black creator and I wanna give people something they can feel. Yes, I do have low self-esteem but can you blame me? I keep getting degraded about the outside so much and people don't know my actual personality. I bet if the world starting paying attention people would be with all kinds of people. Now I wouldn't say it's my intentions going into detail about this it's just telling my opinion. Speaking my mind you know because you really don't see that nowadays.
Can you blame me for speaking my mind? A lot of people are known for speaking their mind so you should not be so hostile. This generation has changed a lot of us! I used to be the most sweetest, humble, happy girl before I got to high school and let everyone hit me. Now all you hear from me is F@#! You, Kiss my A$$, Eat a- Well you get what I am trying to say here. This world is raging me out right now. Oh Cardi B got a lot of booty, Look at her breasts. She is fineee!! Like come on now. She is probably gonna break your heart like everyone else did to you. Just like you said right? I would rather walk around with an oversized jacket and some joggers. Some days I would show off my body but it is basically how I feel shut up and stop drooling!
One day I want to sit in a chair and talk about how I feel about this world and see how many people will like me then let's see who will either agree with me, or hate me. Yes, I know I get off topic sometimes but that's just me because I have a lot in my head that I want to let out. I might be young but I understand this generation very good. There's nothing in this generation that will not stop me from being myself and opening up to people. And I hope that this also inspire other girls like me to be the same way. You shouldn't have to worry about society and how they feel about you. I want to tell girls younger than me to be a leader social media is a test that we including myself failed. But it's also a chance to see brighter than what they show us. The world is mine, the world is yours.
Yes, I do stand out and I love it.
