Hey y’all!
Georgette here. Last year I made the decision to delete all my social media. Yes ALL, Snapchat included. I did so not because I was hooked, but because I was tired of being bombarded with picture perfect images of people who, online looked like they had their life together, looked happy all the time. It was frustrating. How can everyone be so happy, while I’m over here feeling OK at best?
The answer is so obvious. On social media people pick and choose the aspects of their lives that they want you to see. They only show you the positive. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but in my case, only seeing the good made me feel awful about how little I had figured out. I found that I was constantly comparing myself to others, and that I was jealous of people I had never met. It was a very toxic relationship.
This blog is my journey.
The good, the bad, the mediocre.
I am choosing to be explicit to show that a balance can be attained in the online world that has become so prevalent in this day and age.
Who am I?
I’m just your average palatable gal who’s just trying to succeed at this thing called life. I guess I’d say it’s going fairly well so far. I mean I don’t mean to brag but some of my accolades include being a twerk master, having memorized almost every single line of The Office, and sometimes waking myself up in the middle of the night because I’m laughing so hard in my sleep. So yes, I’d say I’m on my way to being uber successful. In my spare time you’ll find me singing, make-up…ing, laughing, reading poetry, stuffing my face with Kit Kat Bars, sporting, and baby sitting.
Needless to say, I have my daily struggles. Being a black christian woman who also identifies as queer is tough. But it’s also filled with so much beauty.
Here’s to victories. Here’s to failures. Here’s to vulnerability and hope. Here’s to you.
Here’s to US.
