Good Morning #homelessawareness #livestreamAdded:
Y have a good day. Heat. Heat.
I can move over there.
back again.
Good morning. Thank you for the thumbs up. Appreciate the support, y'all. It's cold out here again, y'all.
It didn't went back to chill. We chilling. We back in the chill kind of weather.
Come out. You know what I'm saying? It's going to warm up. But good morning.
What's today all? What's today?
Happy Tuesday.
Happy Tuesday to everybody.
Hope you guys had a decent Monday. Ours was decent. I can't complain. I won't complain.
She won't complain. I can't complain.
God is good.
Left a little bit later, so I got to get down this pike. Honey, what's going on y'all?
Let me know that you're here. Let me know that you are listening.
Good morning, everybody.
Uh, Tuesday morning.
What is going on?
It's going to be a wonderful day.
Speak it into existence, darling.
speak into existence.
Darling, I had a good night. We did our meeting yesterday.
Paid our rent.
We paid our dues. We paid our bills.
That paperwork in this place is a lot.
I'm like, y'all be expecting one person to figure all this out?
And I think the girl that I live with, she's not really good with the paperwork and stuff. I said, "Well, I know how to write a check. I know how to pay bills, so that's like nothing to me. So, we got to pay the bills at the house." And she I don't think she knows how to do it.
Some people don't know how to pay bills, but now like we got to pay bills the oldfashioned way.
Put a check on put a um a stamp on it and send it in the mail. They should have it something different for us. let us just call and pay.
But I guess they didn't want to get a credit card for the It probably would be a problem. Somebody probably be stealing stuff cuz they have a bank account that we have to write checks and stuff for the bills. And yes, people still do write checks.
Cuz what I do, where I work at, it's still customers that come into the store and be wanting to write a check. And I be looking at them like, "Well, we have to go to a portal to get this check accepted. You can't just take the check and believe what you saying is true.
Sometimes the customers get mad like I got the morning.
I said, "Well, that's my job. I have to go check this check and make sure everything is everything."
Uh-uh.
How you doing? Good morning. Happy to stay.
So, they be getting mad at us when we have to do that, but I don't really have a choice. So, I got to do my job, baby.
I got to do what I get paid for.
So, they get mad.
And the girl that's in the house right now, I don't think that she knows how to like do stuff when it comes to like responsibility cuz she don't be wanting to do anything.
I'm like, "Sis, it's me and you now, but we still got to get this paperwork and stuff situated. So, what do you want to do?"
But I ain't saying nothing. She was like, "Oh, do we really have to have the meeting?" I'm like, "No, it's just me and you. We don't have to do anything, but we got to get this paperwork, right?
The paperwork and stuff still have to be handled." And she doesn't really be wanting to have anything to do with that. So, I was like, "Well, you live here with me, so we have to do this together. That's the we're team, right?"
So, I don't know, child. I just don't think she um I don't think she knows how to pay bills.
And some people in life don't really know. I guess if they weren't taught or if they never if they live the lifestyle in the streets and stuff like that, they probably don't know how to do a lot of stuff that a lot of adults should know how to do. And that's no excuse because, you know, you know how to pay your cell phone bill, right? We all got a cell phone, don't we?
So, I don't know. I think it's something going on with her that she's not able to really like grasp the idea of, you know, being responsible as an adult cuz that's what this house is for, for us to get back on our feet and stuff.
But I don't think that she knows how to do any of that. I don't even know she knows how to read. I don't know. But when you're in houses like this, you going to run into people like that all the time. So if you have to go in transitional living, you going to come and you going to run into all kind of um people that that maybe not know how to do stuff in life like adults that are just lost, you know, due to drugs and due to their lifestyle.
But one thing I know how to do is pay a bill.
I know how to pay a bill. I know how to write a check.
How do all that? My mom wrote checks. My mom is deceased now, but my mother used to pay her bills with checks and send them in the mailbox. Nobody really does that much anymore cuz everybody we now have the opportunity to pay things online. So, we don't really have to like use checks anymore really to pay bills.
Nobody really I don't know anybody that drops bills in the mailbox anymore, but some people still do.
Cuz I remember when I had my apartment, I would pay my rent with a check only. I would pay the rent with a check and that's it.
I'm not really a money order girl. So me living in this house, I have to use a money order [clears throat] to pay my rent that I have to pay weekly or monthly, however I decide to pay it.
I have to use um I got to get money orders and I don't like that cuz you know money orders are like two something $2 and some cent.
That's that stuff add up.
That's money I'm not going to ever get back. You know what I'm saying? Good morning. Hey, Miss Green. How are you? D Nice is here. Good morning. How y'all doing?
Thank you. I appreciate you always coming and showing support and love.
Good morning, y'all. This is the people with the sprinklers be hitting people's cars. I'm like, well, hit my car cuz my car need to be washed anyway.
But, uh, it's chilly out here. Here, let me turn this heat up, honey.
But yeah, I don't think this lady knows how to pay bills. It could have been something cuz a lot of the women that's in these type of houses have drug issues or had drug issues in the past and they're like, you know, drugs can really mess up your mind and mess up your brain and mess up your functionality.
So, being in the streets, people that been in the streets and they've been using drugs for 10, 15, 20 years, it fries your brain. It fries your brain.
And it's the reason why I'm in this situation. like it's the reason why I'm in this house. You know what I'm saying?
No, I don't trust I don't trust her. But she's okay. She's better than the girl that used to sit on the sofa all day.
But I just speak about my experience, the things that I see. And the things that I see, I'm going to talk about it.
But um I don't think she knows how to pay bills cuz she was like, she told me last night, she was like, "Oh, I don't have to work." So I'm thinking she probably gets like social security or something. You know what I'm saying? She getting something.
And I'm not saying that she has to tell me, but she also does I think she does like under the table jobs. You know what I'm saying? She does little odd jobs here and there. So, she was saying yesterday she was like, "Oh, I don't have to work if I don't want to." But she was like, "I still want to be out here like actively doing something." And I said, "Yeah, I understand. I can't I can't sit around. Even if I was on disability, social security, whatever.
I'm going to still get I got to do something. Like, I couldn't possibly like when it's time for me to retire, I don't think I'm going to want to. I'm probably going to be kicking and screaming cuz I have to be doing something. And you know what I'm saying?
I can't be just sitting around. Like I could sit around on my days off, but even now like I am a worker, especially now with um uh my me making my soaps and everything.
I'm making my soaps on my days off.
So, and I'm not complaining about that because that's my business and stuff, but um I'm making soaps on my days off.
So, I'm not ever like really just laying around doing much of nothing. Even on my off days, I'm hustling, baby.
So, cuz I have to get where I need to get to. And it's going to happen. It's just going to take some time.
It's just going to take some time.
And all I got is time.
All we have is time. I didn't get I didn't take nothing out the refrigerator last night for um for dinner today. I had some leftover sausages that I was cooking the other day on the stove, right? So, they got a little burnt. So, the house the alarms in the house had went off. The um the fire alarms in the house had went off. And I'm glad I was there by myself cuz they probably would have been a little salty with me. Like, I'm in here trying to sleep and you in here got the fire alarm and stuff going off.
So, but luckily I'm there by myself now.
I don't really have to worry about nobody too much. You know what I'm saying? She don't really bother me. She be going on the weekend. She She leaves on Friday. She don't be coming back until Monday. So, she don't really bother me. But I noticed that she don't be wanting to do those books.
And I'm just like, well, we're a team and you supposed to be helping me. So, you're supposed to be learning this stuff, man.
And it's not really like a lot. It just looks like it's a lot. It looks very complicated. I can pick up on it. If I can pick up on the paperwork that I have to do at work every day, I can pick up on that. That's nothing. It's really just paying bills. You know what I'm saying? Paying bills and accounting for everything. It's like I'm a I'm an accountant. I'm a landlord, but I'm not getting paid for it. So, but it that's how they run those houses. They run that house. It's not like it's a manager that comes in and manages stuff. They don't have a manager. We are our own manager.
We manage that. So, the fact that it's only two of us there, it's a little bit easier. But really, at the end of the day, we're supposed to be account. We account for each other. You know what I'm saying? We're responsible for each other. And um the girl that's there now, she's going to be leaving in June. When her daughter gets out of school, she's not going to be there anymore. So, she's going to be moving on, which is nice.
But then I have to pick up whatever. You know what I'm saying? So, like I said, I don't know how long I'm going to be there. I could go move to another house if it gets empty, but she was like, "Oh, you better just ride this out." I said, "I'm going to ride it out as long as I can, but if they raise that rent up, I'mma have to go.
If they raise up the rent, I got to go."
So, but we'll see how things happen. I'm not um I know God got something for me and God will work it out. God is working out.
It's going to work. Everything's going Everything is going to be all right.
Everything is going to be all right. I'm taking a different ride to work this morning. You know, you got to change it up. You got to switch up. Honey, I should have left a little bit earlier.
I did not do yoga this morning. I did a few little stretches, but not anything intense. So, and I normally like to get up, but sometimes it's hard for me to get up cuz it's like uncomfortable there. So, when I did wake up, it was freezing in the house. I turned the heat up to 65. I know since I left, she's probably going to turn it off. So, she like they be like in the house cold. I'm like, girl, I don't mind I don't mind it cold when I'm sleeping and I'm under my covers. I don't mind it being a little chilly, but when I wake up in the morning, I want the house to be nice and warm. So, that helps me get started with my day. I don't want to be in there and be uh I don't like it being cold. It was cold this morning.
So, I was like, "Oh, man. It's freezing.
I don't want to get out of bed."
But it's really nothing going on at the house, to be honest. It's just the paperwork that I'm trying to understand.
And so I was sitting at the um the kitchen table yesterday with all these books and she came in. She was like, "Oh, do we have to do the meeting?" I'm like, "No, if you don't want to do it, we can just not even worry about it." Which is fine, but these books still got to be done. You know what I'm saying? We still have to account for what you know, the books still have to get done.
So, cuz I'm going to tell you one thing.
If that other girl was was here, the one that be sitting on the sofa doing nothing, she would be running. She would be having a meeting. They never just not have meetings. But I said, since it's just me and you, I'm fine with it. But we still got to get these books done.
The accounting still has to be accounted for. So, I don't know. I guess we going to have to see how things play out when June gets here. What's going to happen with her? Is she going to leave? Like, she's trying to find an apartment and stuff like that. But, you know, everything really nowadays is about finances. What kind of money do you have? You know, what kind of money do you have? If you don't have the money, you can't get you can't go get an apartment if you don't have the funds and if you don't have the what, three times the rent to back it up. That's exactly why I'm starting my business. So, I'm I'm making my soap now and we about to get to a dollar. We about to get to it. We about to get to it. I got to set up all of my um I got to set up all my PayPals and every way that my customers will be paying paying me. I have the website. It's just not I don't have the pictures and stuff yet. So, I got to start taking the pictures of the soaps. I'm probably going to have about four soaps that I'm going to be making that's going to be available. So, like I said, at the end of May, y'all going to see that website is going to be ready and available. The website is up right now, but it's under construction. So, you can't see anything. You can't see no pictures.
Can't see any of that. So, but I have to get all my accounts set up as far as my merchant accounts as far as how people are going to pay. I think last time I had Stripe, I had I didn't have PayPal, but I'm doing everything, right? I'm you I'm utilizing every merchant account that I can use. And the thing about it is when customers and stuff pay with like credit cards or whatever, they do take a percentage of that money from us.
That's how credit card companies get paid. So, um I don't like that. And it might be like 15 cent, 24 cents each order, but you know, that's taking money out of my pocket. It is what it is at this point.
So that's why I understand why some people be wanting to pay cash. Like when I go to my um these little events that I set up my table with my soaps and everything, I see why some people just have cash on them cuz that's a form of payment. And when someone's paying me cash, I don't have to worry about no merchant account taken from me. I just don't have to worry about that. So, but Stripe, every um sale that I had, everything that my customer in the past would pay for online, they would take a portion of that money. Cuz these businesses out here, Walmart, if you go buy something out of Target, they have a merchant that takes those credit card payments. And you have to pay a portion.
They take money from it. It's a few cents, but they taking money out of that. All that all that stuff cost. It cost it cost to to to sell things to people. the cards. So, but I'm just trying to replenish my stock, get my stock up, and um y'all going to see it. The pictures I got to get the pictures um situated. And I could do all this on my own. I've did it before. So, but I got to fix my website.
I want it to be a certain way. I want it to be like holistic. I want it to be like earth tony, you know? So, it's going to be beautiful. I'm not paying nobody to do none of this. I'm doing it all on my own. And I did it before. So I had Big Cartel before. And I actually really like Big Cartel. And Big Cartel is not expensive. It's actually pretty cheap. So, but they um when you have a website or whatever, you have to pay. Everything you got to pay for. Ain't nothing free, honey. Nothing's free. Nothing's free.
But I'm in a good mood, y'all. I boiled some eggs this morning, so I'mma eat that for breakfast.
I did want to stop at McDonald's to get me two hash browns, but I'm probably not going to do that today.
I took a different route.
I took a different route today.
I'm like, "Dad, back back to work."
I don't really mind going to work, but I do be minding the people that I have to work with cuz I have a my life. So half of them I don't like and they probably don't like me either. So the feeling's mutual.
The feeling is so freaking mutual, man.
I do got some time off next month for May cuz I told y'all May is my birthday month. So I'm excited about that. Going to enjoy my day off. I think I took off four days. I took off my b I think I took off the day before my birthday, my birthday, and then it goes into the days that I already normally have off. So, I think I have four days in a row off. I'm just going to enjoy my time. I have a lot of time that I can use from work, at work, you know, personal time, vacation, and all that stuff. So, I have all that time.
And I also like since I started working there, I purchased time. Like some jobs offer that you can purchase time. You could buy it. They take a percentage out of your check and then you can purchase the time and you have to use it by the end of the year. And if you don't lo use it, you just lose it, you know. No. If you keep adding up your time that you purchase, you can let that time roll over. The time that they give you, you have to use that. The time that they give you, you got to use that time. Cuz if you don't use that time, you lose it.
So, I'm not losing no time. So, I'm going to go in my ADP today. Whatever I have to use, girl, I'm about to start using that time. Okay?
I'm about to start using utilizing it.
They get mad when you try to use your time like around Christmas and the holiday season. They want you to be around, you know what I'm saying? We're we're closed like every major holiday.
We are closed on major holidays which is like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and I believe Easter. And we're open every every day pretty much. Cuz sometimes the customers will be like, "Are you guys open?" I said, "We're open seven days a week, honey." Mhm. Seven days a week.
They don't miss a beat.
They don't miss a beat.
I slept well last night. It was a song that I was listening to last night that I love. I got to find the artist. I got to find the artist. And I find a song.
I'mma share it with y'all. It's It was I loved it. I was just laying in bed last night. Keep listening to the song. The song was on repeat on my tablet. And I don't know if this woman is a new artist, but the song just hit my heart so bad. It just really touched me. And I know that it was just such a positive, uplifting song. And um I figure how it go, but I'm going to see if I can get a version where y'all can listen to it because it's amazing.
It's a really really good and uplifting kind of song.
But um nothing really is going on. I am painting my nails. cuz I just have to do a second coat. I got to paint my nails.
And I've been noticing me with this nail polish thing that I've been on, that nail polish be drying out after a certain time. I'm like, I got to go get the um what is it? A nail polish thinner. I got to get the nail polish thinner to put into my cuz I'm not wasting my polish, girl. I can use a nail polish thinner and that'll take all the nail polish that's in there in that glass. It'll take it and melt it and then I can use it on my fingers. So, it's called like like paint thinner cuz it's like paint thinner. this nail polish thinner. I got all these empty bottles of nail polish that still has nail polish inside of them. Why would I throw them away? I'm not throwing that stuff away. I'm utilizing it. I still got polish in those nails. Like these right here. Beautiful polish, but now it's all gloed up and but it still has polish in there. So, if I put the nail polish thinner inside this, it's going to thin it out and then I can still use it. I'm not going to keep buying a whole bunch of nail polish drying out. No, we going to get the nail polish thinner, honey. we going to utilize every little thing. Good morning. How are you?
Good morning everybody. I hope everybody gave me a thumbs up by now.
Good morning.
I am on my way to the plantation.
I'm on my way to work.
Go to work on a Tuesday. I'm going to work on a Tuesday. Y'all know the people be talking with their mics. This is one lady that I be watching and she be talking about job stuff. I think she works in HR. So she comes on Instagram and she just gives people tips and tricks on like corporate America and things that happen at the job. So she'd be like talking whatever she has a chicken nugget, whatever she has in her hand, she'll use that as a speaker and she'll talk on that. So she's so funny, but um she gives the um the download on like corporate America jobs and the fact that HR they're not here for you. Like HR they're not in your best interest.
there. Like what I say and I complain about people at my job and the stuff that people do at work. It's not always good to go to HR and complain to HR because a lot of the times when you do that, you become a target. Even if that person did something wrong, they don't want to do nothing. They don't want to have to run an investigation. They don't want to have to fire the person at the job all the money. They don't want to do that.
They don't want to do that. So when you go to HR and cry about something, most of the time you become the target.
That's why I don't like the things that happen at work and there's things that people have said to me and have done to me and I probably could, you know, get litigation involved. But why would I want to do that? Because it's bringing stuff on me. It depends on what they did. Now, if somebody come up to me, they touching me or doing something crazy, I'm definitely going to be acting off of that. But little stupid stuff that people said, "Oh, she said this.
Oh, he said that." I'm not messing with HR. Some people go to HR for literally every little thing. I don't have that kind of like mindset right now to be going and snitching and telling on people even though people have done things to me and I probably could have went and told HR, but it you just become a target. You become a target. I I like to lay low at the job. I want to lay my talk my smackes. I don't want to have nothing to do with HR because they're not our friends. The HR is really there to protect the company. They are there to protect the company. They're not there for my feelings. They could care less about me.
So that's what people need to know. It was a lady at my job and me and her chitchat or whatever, but she had one of the guys send her like nude pictures.
They he sent her nude pictures to her cell phone. And guess what? That was the stupidest thing. He end up losing his job cuz it was considered sexual harassment. But you send nude pictures to a woman at work that's married. She's married and I believe he's married too.
You send her nudes.
I guess you were trying to m to her, talk to her or whatever.
And you got fired. That was stupid.
[clears throat] That was really dumb. I was like, yo, he never got slick with me in that kind of way cuz I would have checked him from the door. But just a pervert. You working with these perverted men.
Perverts. You know, literally that was really dumb to send someone a nude picture at work from your cell phone straight to hers and she end up going to HR and you got fired for that. Good for you. Good for her.
But sometimes these these men at work and stuff, they be out of line, man.
They be out of line. And it's not only men. Women are sexually harassed, too.
that sexual harassment stuff. HR's they they going to act on that. They acting fast because they don't want they don't want no lawsuits or anything coming down on them. But I'm glad she did. She did cuz I would have did the same damn thing.
But I don't go to HR for every little thing that happened at the job. Oh, you know, she got smart with me. Oh, she made me feel uncomfortable. Oh, this the gossip. I'm not going to be running back and forth to them. They don't even want to do the job they're they're supposed to do. They don't want to do their regular job.
So yeah, I just when I see HR, she come in there every now and again. I just be like, I duck her. I don't really want to talk to you. Like, good morning. How you doing? I'm having a great day. Oh, the weather's amazing. They saying roads may be icy. There's no icy roads out here.
What the heck? Sometimes my car be sending me these alarms. And I be like, there's no ice on the road. It was a little bit chilly this morning, but there's no ice on the road out here. But I'm excited, y'all. I got a lot of soap so far. I think I have altogether I might have 50 bars right now. Maybe 50 bars right now. I think that's what I have in stock. So, I have to start keeping count of what I have and doing my inventory and everything like that.
So, we getting somewhere, y'all. We getting somewhere. I told y'all I was going to do it, but um hopefully when the girl that's there, she be leaving on the weekend.
She said that her mom's transmission went in the car. So, I'm like, dang. I'm sorry about that, man. It's hard out here, you know. but she has to know that her mom will come and pick her up from the house on Fridays and bring her back on Monday. So, her mom's car broke down.
So, um I don't know if she going to be leaving on the weekends anymore. I hope she still does go on the weekends. I hope she still goes away. And um cuz that helps me out. Like I can go in the kitchen and freely just make my soap, not have to worry about nobody snooping.
I'm sure I can make soap if she's there, but I rather not make my soap when she's around. I don't want to make my soap when anybody's in the kitchen or anybody's in the house. It's just easier for me to make my soap in peace. I don't have to worry about nobody being there looking. What you doing? Yeah. I don't want to be telling people all my business cuz I just keep that under wraps. You know what I'm saying?
But I'm hoping that this weekend she goes away because I'm thinking maybe I might make some soap on Friday night.
Maybe I can make some soap on Friday cuz if I make it Friday night, then I can cut the soap on Saturday. So, every weekend on the days that I'm off, which is Sunday and Monday, I'm going to be making soap. But I feel like I want to make some soap on Friday night. If I'm not too tired from work, I'll do that.
So, I'm going to see how I feel and we going to go after that cuz I'm not playing. I want to have at least 200 bars available that I'll be able to start selling because I can't sell soap if I don't have soap to sell. You know what I'm saying?
I don't have no if I don't have no soap.
If I don't have no stock, I have to I'm not going to have anything to sell. So, I want to get up like a couple hundred bars if I could get it. Yeah, I can't wait either. Thank you. Hi, Joanna. How are you?
I don't trust anybody at my job. I don't even co-workers. This one lady at the job. She cool peoples, but I don't trust her. You know what I'm saying? I don't trust nobody. It's so crazy how you have to live your life now because nobody can really be trusted. If I can't trust my own family, I'm I'm for darn sure not going to trust a stranger. So, I don't trust nobody at my job either. We just be at the job for our eight hours and we chitchat like the lady that I befriended. I befriended her and we actually do talk outside of work, but I also watch what I tell her, too. I don't get too personal with people. Oh, I live in transitional living. I do I don't tell my business. And that's why a lot of people at work, they I'm a mystery to them because they don't know my tea. You know what I'm saying? But they going to know when that business pop up. They going to know about that because I'm going to share that.
I got to get my business cards together.
And I want my business cards and my website to kind of coexist together.
Like it looks the same. You know what I'm saying? Everything color color scheme wise, everything is going to be cohesive. And that's that's my vibe. I want everything to be cohesive. I'm sorry y'all. I am I am uh driving around a lot of trees.
So y'all might lose me at some point, but there's really nothing I can do about that.
Nothing I could do about that. I'm sorry.
Yeah, I know what I want. I want a Tesla.
If if I pop like if I start making really really good money and I made decent money before with my business, but I had to stop. When I pop off, I want to get me a Tesla. I want a white Tesla.
But that's when I move and I get my house or whatever is going to happen.
But I want a Tesla. I like the way they look. I like a Tesla.
I want to get me a Tesla. I wonder how much a Tesla is. Them little Teslas, they white. I love the color of those.
They just look I love the way they look.
I want to get a Tesla.
But the whole shebang about, you know, the the the fact that it's ran on a battery.
I mean, if I have a house and I have a garage, I could charge it every night, no problem. But I like the way them Teslas be looking. I really do like the look of the Teslas. But if I have a Tesla, I still want to have another car.
So, you don't want to just have two electric cars. You need to have a regular car too, like automatic because a car that takes gas because you never know what could happen with the Tesla.
But I like the look of the Teslas and then when they're white, I love the white Teslas. I love when I see them.
They just look so good to me.
I'm working on me.
Very expensive Tesla. Yeah. I mean, I can't afford it now, but you never know.
Something happens in my life where I'm able to get it. If I'm able to afford a Tesla, I probably want to buy me a Tesla at some point. See how things go with my life. But, um, I would never try to get it if I know I can't afford I can't afford it right now, but I like the way they look.
But, my dream car has always been like a BMW. My dream car, if I ever made it like I'm doing good financially, I want to get myself a BMW. I've always wanted to have like a BMW. I think everybody has like a dream car if they could. You know what I'm saying?
I'm wondering why this guy behind me is like really riding my coattail. You have all this space back there. Why are you riding my coatail?
I hate when people tailgate. Don't do that. Oh god, that annoys me so bad. Cuz if I stop my car, if I stop abruptly, your car is going to crash into mine, dodo bird.
Your car is going to crash into mine.
You dodo bird.
But um yeah, there's really nothing going on, y'all. The house has been quiet. It's been it's been fine. The only person that's there now is just me and the lady that has a daughter. Her daughter's 14. So the daughter don't be doing nothing. She be her phone. She's not really a bad kid. She's not around the house doing crazy stuff cuz she's 14 years old. But her mom be trying to get her up for school and stuff every morning and she don't be wanting to get up. The mom be getting mad at her. I be hearing her. She be like, "Get up. GET UP. Get up now.
I remember those days, child. I remember those days. I remember those days.
I remember those days, honey. I had a few trolls the other day. And I even block them. I don't even block trolls, y'all. I don't even block them, but they was messing with me in the comment section the other day. I just deleted the the um I deleted the um I deleted the message and uh they're still on my channel.
I don't block people. I just really don't. Like you come back and watch. I know you still watching. They probably watching right now. But child, I got me some trolls on my hands.
They troll. But they don't know. The trolls be helping. They help the channel. So I let them stay around. You know what I'm saying? I let them live.
It's going to be a nice day though cuz yesterday was chilly. It was dreary.
Seemed like the sun wanted to come out, but then the sun kept going back behind the clouds. And it was a little chilly yesterday. I'm not going to front. It was chilly.
I ain't going to lie. It was chilly yesterday.
Yeah, co-workers are not your friends.
Yeah, they're not. But I just be cracking up at people. They be so super phony at work. You see them talk about somebody else and then when that person come in, they're like besties. Oh, we're work besties. I said, "Wasn't you just talking about her the other day?" And so they do that to others. cuz I know they doing it to me and not that I care cuz at the end of the day no one's perfect.
Like we all talk and I was telling the girl last night at the house. She was like she got in trouble for something for gossiping. I said we all gossip.
Everybody talks. Like we all gossip as long as you're not like out here accusing someone of something that they didn't do. Like we all run our mouths man. That's just something that humans do. That's that's our nature. We all going to talk. But when you're talking about somebody and it's not factual, then that's when it turns into like a negative situation. But man, we all going to run our mouths, man. Cuz I know I am. I'm I see I speak about my experience. And the trolls will come here and tell me, "Oh, you're talking about now you're talking about your son." I could talk about my kids if I want to.
Oh, you got your kids taking they saying all types of stuff about me and don't know the real.
They say all types of stuff about me.
They probably making videos about me now. I I don't care what people say.
Some lady got upset for me the other day and she said, "Oh, you keep saying you don't care. You don't care. Why are you worrying about what I bring to my own YouTube channel?" This is my channel. If I want to say I don't care about something, I can say that. It's not illegal for people to talk. It's not an illegal thing.
See, I don't trust nobody either. It sucks that you can't trust nobody cuz shoot, I can't even trust my own family.
You don't want nothing to do with your co-workers. Neither do I. But they consider when you don't want much to do with your co-workers, you're like, you're not a team player. You know what I'm saying? I'm not with the fake crap.
Like, get out my face. I didn't heard you talk about Sally the other day. They be just talking about your performance.
You know what I'm saying? If you're not doing exactly what they want you to do, if you're not like a machine, like a computerized machine, they don't really be wanting nothing to do with you, man.
But when they know the people that walk with confidence, the ones that don't need to have like a whole a whole Mean Girls club, like I don't care about that. And these are men, too. This is not just women. These are guys that work, too. They want to like have this mafia thing against people that they feel like is beneath them. Oh, you're making you're making less money than me.
You're making this, you're making that.
Like, these people be so dumb. I feel like humans can be so dumb and messy and and disruptive in management. They don't care because management is is the one that's stirring the pot. And that's the thing I get tired of. And I pray to God that I can make my business pop the way I need for it to pop. That way I can step out of, you know, the work world and just completely work on my work on my own business. That's it. If I can step away, but I have to be making that money to be able to step away. You know what I mean? But um I mean I did my soap business before and I made decent amount of money, but it's hard work. It it is hard work when you're out here trying to sell things to people and it it's tough work, but I when you like doing it, it's not like it's work. Like I me working over the weekend, it that wasn't work to me. It was just me doing something very artistic that I that I love and I'm able to help someone with natural soap.
Natural soap bars, handmade skincare.
Put that stuff down. A dub, that dial.
No. Oh, I can go get a I can go get a bar in the store cheaper. I can go get a bar for for uh three something. Well, go get the bar for three something. If you don't like natural natural handmade soaps, you're not my customer. And that's okay. You know what I'm saying?
Everybody's not going to like what I do.
So, the customer, the guy that was trolling me the other day, I believe it was a man, but I don't know for sure.
But when he was trolling me, he was like down in the fact that I make handmade soap. Like, I make money off of this.
Are you kidding me? I make money off of this. And I'm doing something that I love. So, I'm not going to let somebody come in here and try to make me feel some type of way. Like, I've been doing this for 6 years now, using my own soap bars on my skin, making my own little products that's going to that's going to better my skin. And my skin has been amazing. The skin has been skinning.
Honey, don't let nobody down you, down talk you. I'm not one of those people for that. Like, no. I I I walk with a lot of confidence. There are things that I'm not so confident about. But when it comes to my business, I got it in the bag, baby.
When it comes to my soap business, I got it in the bag because I have love for what I'm doing. I'm not just saying, "Oh, I think this is a popular niche.
Let me do it." It's tons of people that make handmade soap. It's a lot of people that's doing it. But do you also know all the people that's in this world? All the people that are close to me that want what I have.
Oh, I love handmade soaps. I love them, man. I'm about to hustle more than anybody ever seen me hustle in life. We about to get to it. We're about to get to it. We're about to get to it. It's a lot of work. Even when I go to the festivals and go to like the art shows and stuff where people put out their they put their table up and they sell their products and the vending the vendor. I'm a vendor. I go to these vending events and when you go to those events, you have to pay for the table, you have to pay for the space for a certain amount of time. You make money, but then sometimes it might be somebody that come up that don't want to buy, but they want to see what you got going on, but they don't want to buy. So, when a customer do that, I'll give them a business card. And most of them will contact me, oh, I'm going to get some today. I'm going to get some tomorrow.
They might not buy and purchase right there at those vending events. And the vending events can be a lot of work, too.
Those events are not for the weak of heart.
But I love what I do. I love I love my soaps. When I was making soap this past weekend and I was live streaming, I love doing that. I love sharing what I'm doing with the world, you know, letting people know, hey, do you want to get your skin in line? Do you want do you have sensitive skin? I make a soap for people that have sensitive skin. This soap has ex This soap has great properties for people that have eczema as well. natural skin care, natural olive oils, shea butters, cocoa butter, all those things that you need for your skin for moisture. And of course, it always starts with drinking water. Make sure you're hydrated.
So, we going after it, honey. We going after the gzly. And then, of course, I'm going to turn to people at my job. If they want it, they can get some, too.
I'm not going to not sell to the people at my job cuz, oh, you you're my coworker. So, no. If you want a bar, there's the website. You can go to the website and pay for it, and I'll bring it to you.
go to the website and pay for it and I'll bring it to work. I'll bring it for you, baby. I'll bring it for you, baby.
But I'm in a good mood today. I just boiled two eggs this morning. And um yeah, I mean, there's really nothing else going on. I just wanted to run up my live stream, say hello to my peoples.
I might not be able to do a live stream this afternoon when I get off work at 5 because when it's hot out like when the weather gets warmer and the sun is coming through this um windshield um my phone starts to heat up and I'm not going to be able to really um run a live stream when it gets hot in the summer, spring and summer when it's hot.
This whole dashboard up here feels like a oven. So then my phone is definitely going to, you know, be heating up. So, I can't really run the live stream probably this afternoon because of that.
So, I befriended a coworker before and she turned on me. Learned my lesson never again. Yeah, I got to watch the things I say. Yeah, I don't pay attention to the trolls, but I still let the trolls stay around. I still let them stay for what?
Why would I block them? Let them hang around because they they watching. They always watching.
They always watching. When you come on social media, you got to have some tough skin. You know what I'm saying? You can't be no softy.
And like I said, with social media and at work, you got to have tough skin. You can't be a softy, honey. Cuz if you're a softy, it's not going to work. You going to let people run you right over. I'm no softy, babe.
I am no softy.
So my roommate this morning, she she her and the girl that used to sit on the sofa, they didn't like each other. They would just go back and forth and talk about each other like a dog. So she was saying the roommate that I stay with now, she was talking about her less yesterday. She was like, "I'll pay somebody $50 to do something to her." I was like, "Girl, now you talking crazy.
I don't want nothing to do with that. I don't want nothing to do with that. I'm not engaging in the conversation of what you just said cuz what you said out your mouth, that's a threat. You're threatening someone else's life. Oh, I I I could give somebody some money to do to do something to her, to put hands on her. Said, "Girl, it's not that serious.
Let the she she moved out. She's in another house. Let her let her keep on going." So, what was she doing? I said, "Sometimes you work yourself up for no reason."
But again, I think the drugs and stuff that she was messing with in her life kind of messed her brain, messed her up a little bit. You know what I'm saying?
Drugs definitely attack your brain. It It attacks your organs. So, whatever she was messing with all these years, I think now she has a very short attention span and she has a short she has a short leash.
So, um she be getting mad too quick, you know what I mean? And I just be looking at her. She was like, "Oh, I can get somebody to put hands on her." I said, "Girl, it is not that serious for you to be sitting here messing yourself up going to jail." I said, "Let her go on.
She's done. She not she not she don't live here no more. Let Let bygones be bygones the case.
Let bygones be freaking bygones, baby.
Turn this way. The road is closed." I hate when it's the roads are closed. I could have went, but they saying it's closed. Let me I don't want to get all the way down there and road closed. Let it be closed. But yeah, she was like threatening the girl like, "Oh, I can get somebody to put hands on her." I said, "Girl, listen. Get somebody to put hands on [clears throat] nobody. Let that woman do her thing."
She moved out. Let her stay out. That's it. And I said, "This is what this house is for, for people to build themselves back up. We all lost something, whether it was due to drugs or eviction. We're all homeless. That's why we're here. You know what I'm saying? So, we all have a second chance to get it right.
The rent is cheaper than it would be if we was living in a hotel or anywhere else. So, why would I I'm not messing that up.
I'm not messing that up. I'm not leaving until I have me me something in my name.
You know what I'm saying? A lease or something. So, I would never never mess that up. That's that's my only place.
That's all I have. It sucks living with roommates and everything, but I'm glad that programs like this exist that people that lost can start over. You know what I mean?
So, I'm very grateful to be where I'm at cuz it could be worse. You know, the shelter was definitely horrible. And I seen some lady left me a comment and she was saying, "Yeah, that place is better than the shelter." I said, "Yeah, it is better than the shelter. I'm grateful that I found it found it that these places exist and people that need to figure out their life and take their life to the next step is able to make a phone call and say, "Hey, I need a place. I need a bed." You know what I mean? You might be surrounded by drug addicts. And that's the sucky part that you have to live with um ex addicts.
That sucks. But like I said, I don't have anything in my in my room that somebody could steal or take from me.
Nothing.
There's nothing in there that someone could steal or take from me cuz I don't leave anything of any kind of value, you know, at the place.
Yeah, trolls are mean. They're mean, but I don't I don't really give a damn about them. I let them stay. I don't block them or nothing. I let them stay and watch. I want them to watch the come up.
You know what I mean?
I want them to watch. You know what I'm saying? Keep watching. I hope I did not forget my lunch bag. Oh, here it is. I want the trolls to watch my come up. I want them to watch the ending result.
You know what I mean? Let them st Let them in. They help my channel. So, trolls be helping. They not really stopping anything, but they're helping me. So, that's that's a good thing. You know, they're bullies. A troll is nothing but a bully cuz they can't really do it in real life. like they can't go to work and and do certain things that they can do on the internet.
But it's it's sad because some people that you know got problems or they may have low self-esteem or they may feel bad and they come on social media to try to do social media and then the trolls run them off. It's this guy that I used to watch. He had this channel where he was talking about his personal business and the trolls attacked him so bad he stopped making content. I said, "Child, please.
I'm going to talk my talk, baby.
I'm going to talk my talk." This egg today came out perfect.
I said, "I'mma still talk. I'm not going to ever run away.
Don't let no trolls tell you what to do with your channel. This is my channel.
And on top of that, thank God I get paid from it.
When I first opened up this channel, I wasn't I wasn't thinking about getting paid for for this, but it just happened.
So, I'm very grateful for that.
As I said before, I believe when I was staying in my car, God spoke to me and said, "Listen, you need to open up that your camera and you need to talk about your experience in transitional living. Talk about your experience in homelessness. Talk about your experience living in your car."
Like, talk about that. And I'm not embarrassed.
I'm not embarrassed for what I'm going through or where I've been. I'm not embarrassed. Embarrassed for what? Look at this guy. Embarrassed for what? I'm not ashamed, honey.
And I need to let people know I'm not ashamed. I'm sharing my experience. If you feel some type of way, don't come here and watch. I'm not going to stop talking. And yes, I talk about my DUI case that I have with my daughter. And yes, I say some things about my son because I talk about my experience. I'm not talking about your experience. I'm talking about mine.
So if you don't want to hear that, hey, you ain't got to stick around, baby.
Somebody else is going to enjoy what I'm talking about. somebody else was going to say, "Hey, you know, people come here and tell me every day, oh, I'm going through the same thing and I'm homeless, too, and I lost, you know, I'm in the shelter." All types of stuff. All types of things. Somebody got a big old food truck out here. People out here really hustling. Okay, Mr. Food Truck.
Nothing wrong with sharing your experience, man.
If you can make some money from sharing your experience, why wouldn't why wouldn't you? We all out here trying to make some money somehow. Some type of way.
We all need the funds.
Somehow We all need the 1:00 by 9:00 and hopefully I can get to work on time.
Good morning.
Oh, they do. I'm buying something.
A thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you for your wonderful comment. I appreciate you guys supporting me. I told y'all that I was going to get my business back together. So, I want y'all to share that experience with me. I appreciate you guys coming. I have um customers from the past that purchased from me in the past. And the website will be up sometime in May. The website will be up and it'll be available for you to purchase.
And I appreciate you guys going coming with me on this journey.
me building my soul business back up is amazing because that'll be another form of income for me for my lifestyle for me. So, that's going to help me find a house or my next apartment cuz I need I need the finances. You know what I'm saying? It's my business and I love doing what I do.
But you guys supporting me when is that time is going to help me grow my business. is going to help me grow my life back. It's gonna help me get that apartment over time. I can't just start the business and because I'm going to run my business differently. Before when I ran my business, I made money, but I didn't have the knowledge. I didn't know everything. I I was running the business, but it wasn't ran properly. It wasn't structured right.
Now, it's more it's structured better, and I'm learning things about business and stuff like that. So, it's a slow process. So, I'm not rushing it, but I'm proud of myself for opening it up again, making the soap.
That's why I want y'all to join me.
Like, I'm going to be doing live streams sometimes when I'm making the soap. I want y'all to be in in the stream just supporting me. The support is amazing.
The love and the support is amazing. And I told you I was going to bring my soaps back out. I wasn't playing. I don't I don't take my soap making. I love making soap.
So, I'mma ride this out into the end of days. I love doing what I'm doing. When you love doing what you do, it makes it not like work. It's not work to me anymore. It's never been work me making soap and I love doing it. I'd be so excited, like so happy, like, "Oh, I can't wait to make some soap today."
So, I'm going to be making soap on my days that I'm off. Probably on I'm thinking in my heart I could probably do something on Friday night. Make, you know, start making soap on Friday night.
I don't know. But I just have to make my stock. I'm going have to get the stock up. So, in order for me to get my stock up, I have to make soap. You know what I mean?
But I'm grateful and I'm thankful.
Grateful and thankful that I was able to get into this transitional living and be able to to make soap in that house.
Like, cuz before when the girl that was sitting on the sofa was there, she was always home. Like, she didn't have a job or nothing. So, she was always there.
So, I I'm not just going to go make soap when she's around.
So, I'm glad she left, you know, cuz now the house is damn near empty.
But, um, I'm structuring my business better than before. I'm learning stuff, you know. It's an it's illegal. It's it's an illeg it's illegal. It's legal.
It's a legal business.
I had my tax ID number before, but it wasn't structured properly in other ways. So, now I'm I'm running it differently than before. I'm running it now better. You know, I I know more things now, but when I did it before, I was making money. I made a decent amount of money, but it wasn't structured properly. I want to get every benefit from having a soap business that I can get. There's grants and stuff that, you know what I'm saying? So many different things that you could do with business.
I'm trying to learn how to build my business credit up. I'm learning that cuz your business credit and your personal credit are two different things. So, I'm working on all of that and I'm learning it and I'm learning it by myself. I'm not paying someone to teach me. I am learning this by myself because it's it's a learning curve. You can learn anything that you want to learn. It's just going to take time for you to learn it. Like you got to put that time aside to learn. I want to learn this time. Before I was like, "Oh, I'm just selling." I still enjoyed having soap business. I still loved having my skincare stuff, but I wasn't learning cuz I wasn't teaching myself.
Now it's it's different now.
It's different.
I'm actually on that business side trying to structure it properly and learning everything I need to learn from that. So, I'm excited about the journey and I'm glad it's like my hobby and it's also my business because I love soap making.
But God is good nonetheless.
So, I'm excited. I just have to make my stock. I'm building up my my stock. I have to have something to sell to people. So, I'm building that up, man.
I'm building it up and I'm grateful.
I don't like doing not clock. I don't care if it's a minute off. I don't like that. I like for my to be cuz at the job if they want to try to get rid of you, they going to go try to find stuff to get rid of you for.
They might go back and say, "Hey, see [snorts] you was late a couple times this week." So, I always make sure I watch my time.
I always make sure that I clock in on time because if they want to attack you at my job and they want to get rid of you, they going to start going and finding things to get rid of you for. So, I'm not giving them the I'm not going to give them the some dirt on me cuz if they want to get rid of you, they going to do everything they can do to go back and say, "Hey, I see that you were late 10 times last week." You know what I'm saying? I'm not giving them the satisfaction cuz they were trying to get rid of me in the past. This manager that I used to have, he's not there anymore. But, um, they were pushing. like it was a lot of stuff at my job for me to learn teaching people anything, but they want that managerial money, but they don't want to teach you the right way. They don't want to take the time out to teach you cuz none of them, they're not teachers, but they are managers and a manager is a teacher and a leader it that way. They want you to like that and if you make mistakes and stuff that's when they want to try to bash you and all this stuff. Man, I told this girl I said I've been through hell at this place. When I started this job um a couple years back I was going I was in the darkest phases of my life dealing with the stuff that I dealt with with my son. Now dealing with stuff with my daughter. Like people be like, "Yo, I'm surprised you still hanging around. Like I've been through it." When they say I've been through there, I've been through there.
And I'm not the only person and people going through a lot of stuff, but it's all how you deal with it. I was on my knees praying to God, asking God to assist and help me with my life. Like, Lord, please. I'm hanging on by a thread right now. I don't know what else to do.
None of our lives are perfect. But the first thing I started with is taking the responsibility and and holding myself accountable for things that I've done to get in situations that I'm in. It's my fault. I'm not pointing the finger at my sister, my brother, my whoever. Yes, there's been people in my life that's been beside me that could have caused some things, but I I take full responsibility for what I've done. And that's where it's that's where it starts. Taking accountability for what you did. Like, that I did this, that was stupid.
That was stupid or that was dumb. You know what I mean? Never again.
But I'm not pointing the finger at nobody. I point the finger at myself.
I messed up my own life. And now I got to get it back together. And that's that's and that's how it's supposed to be done. Taking responsibility for our own actions, man. Nobody can make you do anything.
So that's the first step of healing. I mean, I hear people all the time at work at, you know, just out and about blaming things on everybody else but themselves.
I did this to me. I messed up my own life.
But there's people in life that has done things to me. Yeah, there's people that have done stuff to me, but for in the grand scheme of things, I take responsibility for everything that I've done wrong because I did some things wrong. I really have.
But um we all have chances to get it right. We all have time to get it together. You know, we all make mistakes.
I don't have my prices yet. When I get the prices um together, it'll be on the website. I don't really know yet. I'm not that far yet. I'm just pretty much making a stop right now. But um yeah, I don't have a price right now.
I don't have a price right now. But when the website is up, y'all can see the prices when they when they um I'm still working on the backs, you know, the back of the house stuff. So, I don't really have a price right now. But when the website comes out, y'all can go see them there.
But, um I can't wait to go to my first market, my first vending event. I seen some vending events that were on Facebook and stuff cuz you I have to find the events. though. Um, and then I have to figure out how [clears throat] I'm going to design my soaps for customers. You know what I'm saying? So, when you go to the vended events, customers want to come up and they want to touch the soaps. They want to feel them and smell them and all this stuff. So, I have to get all of that situated, too. And I have to have a table. And I do have a table, but I think I have to get myself a bigger table. I want to um I got to find me a table for vending and figure out how I want to set up my table to make it appealing when a customer when I'm out and about. I really don't have any plans of going to any of these events outside in the hot sun. Even though I can put like a um it be too hot sometimes and then the bugs, you know, the bugs will come around cuz they smell soap, you know. So, um I got to figure that out.
It's a lot to figure out, but I want to have all my ducks in a row and have everything organized properly, payment options and all that stuff. So, I want to have everything kind of set up the right way. This time around, my business is being structured properly. So, and it takes time to structure it properly, especially me being like one person. At some point in life, I may have to hire someone to help me with certain things, but I'm not at that point yet. So, and I have other things. I have other um things that I got going on too. So, it's not just my soap. It's a lot. You know, this person is such an idiot.
Oh my god. I can't believe that guy did that. People drive like maniacs out here. They really freaking do.
People are maniacs and they drive like bat [ __ ] crazy.
They drive like bats out of hell.
They drive they drive like bats out of hell.
But I see the farmers are out here this morning.
Well, are you guys having a good morning? What are y'all doing? Are y'all headed to work as well?
This coffee sure do taste good.
I still never ordered my coffee that I ordered online. Hopefully I'll be able to do that today at work and order the coffee that I um that I like.
I'm not really scheduled for work until 9:30 and that's probably what I'm going to clock in at that time. Or I might clock in at like 9:15. I just don't like to be off. I don't like to be like clocking in late, but it looks like I'm probably going to have to clock in at 9:30, which is fine, too. But I like to clock in and get out as soon as possible.
As soon as possible.
As soon as possible.
This coffee tastes yummy. I woke up this morning when I went in the kitchen to go make my coffee. I couldn't find my cup.
I was like, "Where's my thermos?"
I was like, "Oh man, don't tell me somebody took my thermos out the kitchen." But I found it in my room. So, I was like, I'm glad I didn't assume that someone took it.
But yeah, so the girl that's in the house, she was like, "Yeah, I'm working Thursday, Friday, and Saturday." So, I don't know if she going to go cuz she usually go away every weekend to her mom's house. So, I was like, I hope she still go so I can be in here by myself making my soap. I love when they're not in the house, you know, even though she really don't cause me no problems, she um it's always good for me to do my soaps when nobody else is around. You know what I mean?
It's always good for me to do my soaps when no one is present.
My lips are super freaking dry.
What are y'all doing today? Let me know what y'all got going on.
I told you it's interactive live stream.
I appreciate you guys talking back to me, communicating.
I'm going to make a separate YouTube channel for my soaps cuz I don't want to put my soaps mangled in with this channel. So, I'm going to make another soap channel for the soaps. So, I'll let y'all know what that what that's going to be.
But, I don't want to put all my soap stuff on the channel here. I'm going to have to have y'all come over to another channel. But the thing about it is I can't go live on the new channel until I got like 50 subscribers. So I have to build up a new channel for that.
And actually I do have a soap channel. I just have to find a password so I can get back in.
We almost there. I'm almost to my destiny.
Excited and I'm happy.
I see the sun shining every day. I get so happy.
But um I don't know. I feel tired. I feel like if I was want to take a nap, but I'm not home. So, and the girl last night, she was like, "Did you want to move into one of those other rooms?" You know, one of the empty rooms. I was like, "No." I said, "I'm staying where I'm at until I said my next move is out the door. I'm not moving to another room for what? Why would I do that?"
Yeah. Some of the other room, one of the other rooms got some of the rooms got two windows, which I I appreciate that, but now I'm not going to another room for what? Why would I do that?
My next move is out the front door into my own house or apartment. I'm not sitting around here uh thinking that this is going to be my life forever.
It's my life temporarily for now.
Temporarily, it's my life.
I'm like, "No, I'm not getting comfortable like that." The rooms are pretty much all the same size. They're really small rooms, but some of the rooms have two windows instead of one.
Yeah, the room that's in the back that the girl used to be couch surfing. I call her the couch surfer. She has a room that's in the back.
And I like that room because she does have two windows. So, she gets the sun comes in from different angles. The room I'm in, the sun, it's not good sunlight in there. But where the where the house is to me, I just feel a very dark presence in that house as far as darkness. I feel the heaviness of the house, it's not it's not a bright and vibrant house that shows sunlight. I like sunlight. I don't like to be in dark rooms or anything like that, but the house is very like it's dark. You know what I'm saying?
So, I don't get the sunlight in the house the way I want it to be. I guess the way the house is designed, like the way they have the house on a on a level, but I think in her room since she has two windows, I think the sun would come in a little bit more. I'm a person that needs to see the sun even when I'm not at home. If it's a day where it's cloudy, I don't like that. I like to see the sun. When I had my apartment, the first thing I did in the morning, I went and open up all those mini blinds, open it up, let the sun come through. We're not sitting in dark rooms. I don't sit in dark rooms. I like it to be very vibrant and sunny because it brings me joy.
We don't do the darkness. I don't like no dark rooms. No. When I grew up, my mom turn open them shades up. Open them shades. Let that sunlight in. We not sitting in no dark rooms. No. Because sitting in darkness makes you dark.
I got to get open up them windows. Get that fresh air in here, honey. Okay.
But um it's a new day. It's a Tuesday. It's a new day. It's Tuesday. It's a new day.
It's Tuesday.
I can't wait to sell my first soap bar.
And I can't wait to get these events underway. Like I have to start finding these events. You got to pay for them.
So it's a new day. It's Tuesday. It's a new day. It's Tuesday.
I didn't do no yoga this morning, y'all.
But I did a little bit of stretching.
It's a little light little light stretching.
It's a new day. It's day. It's a new day. It's day.
I'm almost at my destination. I just feel sleepy all of a sudden. Like I feel like I could take me a nap. I don't know why I drink coffee sometimes and it feel like the coffee got me tired. Like what the heck is going on?
What the hell is going on between the sheets in my home?
Baby, wait. Let me explain before you start to point your C.
But how you know my name, son? But baby, wait.
But how you know my name, son?
It's a BMW right behind me. Yes, this is my dream car. My dream car is a BMW.
My dream car is a BMW. I don't know why I always love just the look of a BMW.
But how you know my name?
There we go. Right there. That's my baby car right there. Mhm.
But baby, but how you know my name? The BMW right there, baby. The BMW 5401. Is it 5401?
Okay. Okay. It's nice. It's nice. It's nice.
Good morning, 10 people. I hope everybody gave me a thumbs up by now.
Thumbs up helps my channel. It helps people find me. If you able to share, please share. Share some of the videos, guys. That helps people find my channel.
It helps people come to me. So, I'm also going to start I told y'all I'm going to do I have a soap making channel that I have to get the password so I can get that popping it again because I want you guys to if you want to watch my soap and stuff. I'm going to make a separate channel. Well, I do have a separate channel for it. I just have to get into it and put it on my tablet. So, I want to start having my soaps making it over there. I want to keep my channel what I'm going through with transitional living. I don't want to mix the transitional living with the soap. I can, but I don't want to. Cuz sometimes I'm just going to be talking about my life. You know, I talk about my situation with transitional living and homelessness and all that stuff.
Everything I've been through is on this channel. Now, soapen, I want to keep that separate. We want to keep that separate. We don't want to mix the two together.
We want to keep it separate. So, I don't want to clog this channel up with just soap making stuff cuz that's that's a different like that's my business. So, So yeah, that's that.
But how you know my name? I don't know if y'all saw that story. I don't even want to talk about it. It was a story I saw yesterday on Facebook. This guy that I watch on Facebook, he said there was a guy, I don't know where he was at in Tennessee somewhere. He he unalived his girlfriend's kids and she had like 12 kids and I think he unalived every last one of them. And I said, "What on earth?" And I know what on earth I'm not going to ask what on earth would make someone do that. I know. I know what makes someone do that. Spirits, demons, darkness, rage, anger, hate.
The man killed he unalived all of this woman's children and then he then he had I guess he had a showdown with the police and the girl had like seven, eight kids. He he unalived all of them. And I was like, I know the mother is like I couldn't imagine what she could be going through right now.
But that also goes to show you women that are so adamant on I got to get me a man. I got to have me a man. I need me a man. And a man hates you and your kids.
A sick de demented demon would only allow someone to take someone else's life to unal alive another person. That is a sick person and he wanted that mother to suffer. That's why that demon did what that demon did to to the mother. I'm not shocked at anything. I'm not shocked at any of these things because I know what darkness is. I understand the spirit realm and I know what demons are and I know what darkness is and I know what the light is.
for that man to harm that woman's kids the way he did and and he ended up having a showdown with the police and they end up unal alive in him. That's what he wanted. He was a spirit.
Dark spirits make people do that. I don't be sitting up here. That's why I really don't watch the news because they put out a whole bunch of negative stuff.
That was the first thing on my Facebook when I opened it up and it was so heartbreaking. But when you understand darkness and spirit, darkness and light, when you understand that, that you know that we are not the only people here and spirits and demons exist in this world.
We just can't see them and they can attach themselves to people and get into your body and have you do things that you shouldn't do. And then the ending the ending result of these type of things, spiritual wickedness in high places, spiritual wickedness in high places will make you do something that you wouldn't necessarily do.
That's why we have to stay prayed up. We have to fast if you believe. Now, I'm not I'm not a spiritual person that be sitting here trying to tell somebody what they need to do. But there's a spirit realm that exists and that attach themselves to people and make people be as mean as they are. Shoot. I got spirits myself, but I don't have I don't have We all got spirits attached to us that are that are with us every day that we don't even know it.
I have things attached to me, too.
Things that I want to stop doing. Things that I need to stop doing. These spirits at the end of the day, they can make you harm someone else or these spirits can make you harm yourself.
And for that man to do that and how that mother feels right now. I know she's probably like over with life. I couldn't imagine.
She's probably in a mental institution right now being heavily medicated.
I couldn't imagine what that mom is going through.
It's a shame, isn't it? Very, very sad.
But it's not shocking to me because I understand spirit. I understand the spiritual realm. The spiritual realm is a real place that exists. So I think we all have things that are attached to us, things that we have to break free from, things that we have to stop doing. But sometimes certain spirits that attach themselves to you, certain people, if they don't understand spirit, they can't fight, they can't fight those spirits off. Those spirits will have you out here shooting up a a mall or hurting somebody else, hurting other people and then eventually hurting yourself or you being taken out by the police. It's sad.
I couldn't imagine that mother right now has to probably be in some mental hospital because she probably lost her mind. A man and see that's another thing when it comes back to these relationships. These women be so desperate to have a man in her bed and this man has been plotting on hurting you and your kids.
The mother is still alive. What a wicked thing to do to a mother or anybody is to harm their children and then turn around harm yourself. Now she got to live with that.
This is something that she going to take to her grave and hopefully she's strong enough to endure. Hopefully she know God.
Hopefully she know Jesus.
God will get you through anything, man.
It doesn't matter how dark it is. God will lead and guide you through it.
But that situation, I'm not shocked because I know evil people exist just like that.
That's why I had to leave my church home due to my situation of being homeless.
How everybody turned their head. They turned the other cheek because we live in a dark world and a lot of the darkness is coming from people that go to church every Sunday.
It's coming from those type of people.
This is why a lot of people don't even want to go to church no more.
Church is messy.
I'm not going to say that I'll never step foot inside of a church again.
I was feeling over the weekend that I was like, "Dad, I should go visit this this other church that I know about.
I'm going to do it. I still believe. I still want to praise and worship. I could do it." Oh, you don't have to go to church. I go to church if I want to, right? It's going to be a want if I want to be there type thing.
But the reason why I'm not going back to my church is because me and my sister don't get along. I don't want to see her or her fat sloppy husband. Cuz her husband is probably the the the the main reason y'all I still have to go back to the diapers thing and go to part two and explain to y'all what happened. When I tell y'all what happened with this di case between me and my sister and my daughter, y'all going to be like, "Oh, wow. She did that to you?"
It's a whole It's a whole story about this and I'm going to tell it, but I just didn't have the mindset to finish talking about it [clears throat] because I am going through a lot. I'm still going through a lot. But the only thing that's been keeping me is God's good grace over my life.
If I didn't have God, if I didn't know God, if I didn't know that God would continue to mark to to lead me, I would probably be ran my car off the side of somewhere because I'm a believer. I trust in God.
But I know that he's watching me and he's taking me through this.
Look at me now. Look at me from 2 years ago. It's been 2 years in about four or 5 months exactly when I lost my apartment. It's been over 2 years. It's almost been 2 years and a half.
It took me all this time. I'm getting closer. I'm getting there. I'm clawing through. I'm getting closer and closer and closer to having me something of my own again.
We're getting closer.
We getting closer.
Even though some days it feel like, oh my god, this is still moving slow, but I'm better than where I was 2 years ago.
But that that case super heartbreaking.
All you can really do is pray for people. That's it. Pray for them. Pray that the mother can find something in this situation to ease her pain. Cuz I couldn't imagine the pain. Just the pain of losing a child, one child versus losing all of your children due to a dark spirit.
That's that's hurtful.
I wouldn't be late, but I'm really supposed to be there at 9:30, but I feel like I have a little minor headache already coming on, child.
But um you got to watch like you got to watch the people that you bring into your life cuz somebody that could be laying in the bed with you can hate you. They can hate your gut. This is why I'm cool not being in your relationship. If God sends me a that man that I'm supposed to stick by, God is going to let me know, look, you need to stick by him. But other than that, I don't put myself out there. Uh-uh.
Cuz people are dark. This woman had what? She had eight kids.
I'm sure she probably had a few kids probably by him, but this man did what he did. Child, I couldn't live with myself.
I don't have the greatest relationship with my son. And then a troll comes in here and says something. I don't have the greatest relationship cuz my son was very disrespectful when I had my apartment. He was doing all types of stuff. Coming home drunk, on drug, coming home on drugs and just doing dumb stuff. And I'm trying to help him.
Oh. Oh. So now you talking about your son. I could talk about whoever I want.
I'll talk about you if I knew you.
Talk about whoever I want. I'm not fabricating making up stories. This is not a channel where I make up story times. I don't make up story times.
Everything I tell on here is is things that happen in my life, bad or good. No, I don't tell everything. I don't tell all my business, but I know y'all be like, "Dad, you telling a lot." I tell a lot because this is my healing, too. This is like therapy for me.
And I'm glad that I'm able to let it come out of my mouth. Speak it. Speak things into existence. Speak things. Let it come out of your mouth. Your pain, your hurt.
One of my girlfriends called me last night from she live in a different state. But I didn't want to talk to her because sometimes I'll call her and she sometimes I'll reach out to her and she right she don't want to talk. But then last night she called me and she works during the day. She works from home but she works during the day. So she has her own situation going on. She can't really relate to what I'm going through. She can't really relate to the homelessness.
She can't relate to the shelter. But she has been a support system for me. When she called me last night, I didn't want to talk. But she she's the type of person she would get offended and get mad like cuz I replied back. I said, "Sis, I can't talk right now." I told her I was at work, which I wasn't, but I was actually in the bed and I was sleep because I was tired.
I had to be up for work early and I said, "I can't talk right now, so I'm gonna have to call you another day." And then times when I want to talk to her, she's not available. So it's like, but I know she's salty. She was salty cuz she didn't reply back cuz she'll be like, "Oh, um, every time I call you," she'd be on my TikTok or whatever. And she'll reach out and she'll like every time like I have a schedule, too. Like you work and I work. You have sons, I have kids. The stuff that I'm going through in my life, she knows what I'm going through, but she can't really relate cuz she's not going through that.
And I'm not saying that she can't be my friend because she's not going through what I'm going through. So, we can't be friends. But she gets mad at me when I don't talk to her. Like, I can't talk to you every time you want to talk. I can't.
And I think she was salty because when I replied back to her last night, I told her I was at work or whatever and she didn't reply back. So, I know she probably was a little mad, but I'm like, I don't know what you mad for. Like I'm doing the best I can do with my life, man. Doing the best I can do with my life and I'm trying. Like she have she has helped me in this whole debacle.
She has her own stuff that she goes through. She has two sons and she's going through her own stuff that she's going through.
But sometimes when I reach out to her, sometimes she don't want to talk. Cuz I think one time I called her and she was kind of like, "I'll call you back or whatever." I don't know what she got going on in her life, but she's still my friend, but she has her ways, too. But I said, "Listen, don't get mad at me. I have a life to live. I can't always be available when you need to when you want to talk to me. And I don't want to put all my problems on her. I don't always want to have a conversation with you about what my di situation is. Like, you can't really even relate to that. You don't know. You don't you don't know this lifestyle. It's it's hard cuz she's she's financially stable. She has a really good job and we just kind of don't have too much in common, but we had in common what we were going through with our sons.
So, but she's still a good person. And um she was like, "You coming out to see me this summer?" And I said, "Well, maybe. I don't know. I have to see. I'm building my soap business back and that's going to take a lot of my time.
And um some things I just don't have time for, right?" You know, I just don't have time. And sometimes when she want to call me and she want to chitchat, girl, I'm in a bed. I'm in a bed. I can't talk and but I can't have you being upset with me because I can't speak to you. You can't always have access to your friends when you want to.
I will stretch myself. Like if she called me and she was like, "Oh man, I really need to talk about this." I would help her because she's my friend, but sometimes when we have different schedules and I think she was salty last night when I didn't answer the phone call. I said, "Since I'm in the bed, I can't really talk right now. I have to get up and go to work in the morning.
So, I think she was a little mad at me, but oh well.
Yeah, it's great to roll solo, but we also still need people in our lives. You know what I'm saying? We still need people in our lives. She has done stuff for me. So, she I think she's feeling a ways because she's probably like, "Oh, I did this for you." Like, one I don't like. Don't do nothing for me if you going to throw it up in my face. Me and her, we do have two different lifestyles, but she's also we had a lifestyle. Our connection was we became friends because she has sons that's my son's age and we were going through a rough time with our kids. So, we connected in that kind of way and she she's helped me with stuff. But I can't always drop everything and just start talking to you because you probably want to talk. Like even my sister, I have a sister I live in Georgia. She dropped me two years ago.
She told me, "I don't want to ever hear from you again. I hope you go to jail."
I So like even my family be dogging me out. I just be like you. I understand what you're saying, rolling solo, being solo, and stuff. But to me, we still need community. You don't want to be in this life alone and not having nobody to pick up the phone and call and talk to, but we're just not always I'm not always accessible. Like she's not always accessible. And sometimes I call her, she don't really want to talk.
Sometimes I call her and she ain't got nothing to say. And that's okay.
But um I need you to keep that same energy, baby, because I'm not going to always be available to chitchat. I'm out here like hanging on by a thread, honey.
And she doesn't understand that. She doesn't understand the hardships in my life, like the homelessness and the transitional living. She don't understand none of that because she got money. She got a good job. She's very well to do. and she's okay and she's also a single mom. So, we came at each other in that fact like look, we both got the same stuff going on and we became friends, but sometimes I see her selfish ways.
So, but she goes through stuff with her children and when I was going through that season of the struggle that I was going through with my son, we connected in that way cuz we have kids that are the same ages and we just would just chop it up talking about the kids. Oh my god. Oh my god. her son disrespected her and she has her own house. She has a beautiful home. But I told her, I used to encourage her like, "Girl, you need to leave him. You need to leave. Uh, he needs to learn a lesson." So, she kicked her son out in the winter time.
She kicked him out and she brought him back. And um, of course, he going to be on his best behavior because he know how it is when he was um, look at these ducks. They just walking in the middle of the street. Ah, they so funny.
I'm looking at these geese. The Canadian geese. They just walking chilling. Ah.
Ah. They so funny. The little birds. Let them walk. Let them get across the street, honey. But uh I just been through so much crap with her. And she's a good person, but I'm not always available to chitchat and talk because I was in the bed last night. And I think she was a little salty cuz I replied back and then when I called you back then you ain't got then you can't talk cuz one I think I called her like twice and she was kind of like pushing me off like she ain't want to talk and I'm like girl listen I'm good.
I'm like I'm good. You know what I mean?
But she's a good person but she can't really relate to a lot of the stuff that I'm going through right now. She just really can't.
But not saying she can't be a friend.
And then I also have another girlfriend.
and she's the girlfriend that I choose if I want to go out dancing or go out and party. She's somebody that I can um you know, chop it up with.
But um we all have certain friends in our lives for certain things. You know what I'm saying?
We all have people in our lives that are here for certain things. Good morning, Tracy. How are you today?
Yeah, I'm not I'm not dirty.
I feel tired, y'all. I feel like I can um go take me another sleepy nap.
I feel like I can go take me another nap.
But unfortunately, when I get out of work, I know I'm going to be super tired like I always am. I'll be super tired like I'm some kind of old person. I am getting there, though. I'm getting there. But um I took my gym stuff with me just in case when I get out of here if I feel like and I'm probably not going to feel like doing anything when I get out of work. I'm probably just going to go home and do what I do. Get go to bed. Go to sleep. You know what I mean?
Lay around. Try to get me something to eat and then go to bed.
Go to bed. Go to sleep. Try to get me something to eat. Man, I took out some salmon. I'm really tired of eating salmon. But that's all I have for right now.
I got to figure out some more recipes, little meals that I can make cuz I'm bored now. You know, like I'm really bored eating the same old same old. I've been eating salmon and you know what I'm saying?
Salmon, I'm over it.
Putting it in the air fryer, even though it's so good when I make it, but I'm over the salmon. I need something else.
I need some more excite I need some exciting meals. So, I got to go on YouTube today to find me some meals that I can make. You know what I mean?
So, I don't get bored cuz I'm bored. I'm bored with the meal prep thing. I did the ground turkey and I'm over that.
So, I'm going to go back to the drawing board today and find me some more meals that I could go buy and make.
But how is everyone doing on a Tuesday morning?
How y'all making out today? You guys going to work? What y'all got going on?
Rhonda, good morning. How are you, sis?
I'm good on a Tuesday morning. back to work after being off for two days.
I tell you what, them two days go by super duper fast, honey.
I was like, dang, I feel like I just um but like I said, in May, my birthday's in May. So, I'm going to I have some extra days that I took off. And I'm also going to go in here and look into my ADP and see what kind of time I have left.
I'm going to start utilizing my days cuz I be like, man, some days I'm just going to work three days a week. Why I got to do five? But I'm going to start utilizing my time because I I need to be away from work as much as possible.
75 today. Oh, great. Great. I don't know what the weather going to be here, but it's sunny now. It's beautiful. I'm sure it's probably going to reach the 70s here too. So, yeah, I'm working on me.
How y'all doing today, everyone? Let me know if you're in the chat. Let me know if you guys are new here. Let me know that you're new. If you found my channel, let me know how you found it.
If you are a new person here, let me know.
Your birthday's next week. Oh, nice. You doing anything good, Rhonda?
I'm not doing nothing [clears throat] for my birthday. I'm just going to exist and find me something nice to eat. Find me a nice meal. Probably go to Applebee's and get me some nice appetizers and enjoy the app.
I have no plans to do anything because I don't have no money. You know what I'm saying? I I wanted to take a road trip.
I mean, I probably will go hiking for that day. And I wanted to go out of state, but I can't really afford to rent a car because if I rent a car and I do a road trip for my for myself, I have to um I got to have money for gas and all that extra stuff. And I don't have it like that right now. I don't have the extra funding to fund the trip. So, I'm not going to go anywhere. I I can go local. I can go to this local trail that I know about. But that's probably what I'll end up doing. Just taking a beautiful hike at this specific place that I've never really been at before. But I wanted to travel and get away. But I can't afford it cuz I would have to rent a car. And me renting a car, I could rent a car for a day and it would be probably over $100 and then I have to worry about the gas and all that. So, who knows? I still may do it.
I still might do it.
cuz I wanted to go to this um this hiking spot in Delaware on the Appalachian Trail. I wanted to get on some of the hiking trails. They have a hiking trail. I wanted to do that like take a road trip, but I don't want to spend the money on gas and all that crap. Can't afford it.
So, who knows? I might still do it. I might can take a road trip for the day and go to another state and find this so-called trail, but I really don't want to be driving all day again because once I drive two, three, four hours to get to this trail, I'm going to be tired. I'm not going to want to hike.
So, I don't know, y'all. I don't know.
I might just stay local.
I can't even I don't even really have the funds to travel like that. But I could rent a car for like $150 or so for the day. But you know how fast that day going to go by and then boom, take the car back, it's over, and then I go home and I'm so exhaustedly tired.
Yeah, I feel like I want to One of my favorite places is like Applebee's. I love Applebees cuz I like their look like like little appetizers and stuff.
Like the little um the little app I always get the appetizer thing. That way I could eat a whole bunch of different like finger foods and stuff like that.
That's what I used to do when I was home. I would treat the kids. I would say once a week I would always say, "We're going to go eat out." And where do y'all want to go? A lot of places would be like, "Oh, I want to go to Applebee's." My kids would always say Applebees. And I fell in love with Applebees in their little like appetizer thing.
We would get this big appetizer tray.
That way we could have like some chicken wings here. Some mozzarella sticks there. I love the artichoke. The artich choke dip. Oh, I love that from like where do they have that? They have that at Applebee's. I love the artich choke dip with the chips. Oh, that was so yummy.
Instead of me just ordering a meal, I like to get the appetizers. Get me something to drink and then that's my I used to love that. The little appetizer tray from um Applebees is so yummy, man.
I'm a foodie. I love food.
I love it. I love it. I love it.
So, but happy Tuesday everybody. Happy Tuesday everybody.
These jobs have no problem replacing you.
Yeah, they definitely don't have no problem replacing it because if something happened to me today and the jobs will also like stalk people. If you got like health problems, your husband may be sick and you start using them benefits and you got medical issues going on, they know about it. They be trying everything that they can do to try to get you get rid of you so they don't have to deal with their portion.
Child, I see it all. That's why I be like, these jobs don't care. They don't care nothing about me or you. And I know that. I know this much is true.
Taurus love food. I'm a Taurus. Yeah, I'm a Taurus. It's a Taurus straight to love. Yeah, I love me a good meal.
I love me a good freaking meal.
I do. I do. I do.
I'm going to go back to the drawing board and see if I can find me some recipes that I could make at home.
and um find me some good little recipes I can make at home and start my meal prep again cuz it is too expensive out here to be buying food. And you know, I do treat myself once a week. I'll eat something.
I say, "Oh, I'm going to go get me a cheese steak with some fries today or something." But, um, it's cheaper to just make meals at home and go from there because it's too expensive.
It's too expensive, y'all.
But I'm grateful, y'all. I'm grateful every single day for where I'm at. Do I like transitional living? No. Would I rather have my own place? Sure. I don't think anybody want to live with roommates, but this is my life now. And I'm okay with it.
And it won't be like this forever.
I took off work. Good for you. Cuz I had called out on I called out like a week or so ago. It was a Saturday and then everybody at the job was kind of saying little slick things like, "Oh, how was your weekend?" "You had a long weekend."
You know, they'll say little sarcastic things. I just said, "Why you worry about if I called out or not?" Cuz you know when you call out everybody that didn't call out, they think they're better. I said, "Y'all better use that time." Cuz listen, if y'all if y'all don't use your time, you're going to lose your time. So what you going to do?
Sit up here and try to kiss your manager's butt. Oh, I'm a I'm a good employee. Look at me. I never crawl out.
Child, please. It's such a joke at work, but I need to be there. So, I need to be there because I need to get my money.
But if I could just figure it out and work for myself, I would love to.
And that's what I'm working towards as far as with my business and everything, but um I'm still going to u I still have to be a part of the workforce.
I don't mind coming out here working, but if I can not deal with these people, I would rather not deal with the people.
And the crazy funny part, it don't even really it don't even be the customers.
The customers that I have to deal with every day. Sometimes I have a nasty customer get nasty with me on the phone, but I don't really worry about that. I'm worried about the people that I have to sit next to at these meet meetings and you know the fake and phonies.
But um it is what it is. I try to make it a positive environment and let the people that that cause problems at work when I see them trying to come over to me, I just try to ignore them as much as I can. I get I act like I'll pick up the phone and act like I'm on the phone with a call just to get that person away from me. Like please don't come over here with the fake stuff. I don't want to hear it. I said, "So, let me pick up the phone." When I see them coming over to my desk, I try to pick up my phone and act like I'm busy.
I pick up the phone and act like I'm busy doing something and then they walk away. Oh, she's on the phone. Oh, yeah.
I am on the phone talking to nobody.
I play the game. I know how to play the game at work to get people out my face.
And again, it's not even the customers that I'm talking about. I'm talking about the people that I have to work by every day. They be so obnoxiously annoying.
They just be [clears throat] crazy, man.
I don't be want to deal with them. And I'm low-key at work. I don't be bothering nobody. I just be minding my own freaking business. But they want you to be all like, they want to know all your business. Who you dating? Who's this? And if you don't tell them, they try to dig into your life. Like the one lady I told you, she used to be my she used to be a manager. She's not anymore, which I'm so glad. But she used to always say like the last snowstorm that we had, this is her trying to get into my life. She was like, "So, who helped you dig yourself out? Who helped you dig out of your house? Like, who helped you out of your I'm looking at her like, that's none of your damn business. Who helped me dig out? Why is that any of your business?"
I just looked at him.
I just looked at him. My family helped me dig out. I don't have to give you no details of who helped me with something.
It's none your business.
So then they consider you to be like not a team member if you're not telling all your business. Oh, how was your days off? And asking someone how often a conversation starter. I find nothing wrong.
I have something wrong with the people who try to get into my life and then they get upset when I don't share much.
I don't have to share anything with you idiots.
To share nothing. Y'all not a family.
Shoot. I come from a family that that hates me. You know what I'm saying? So, what makes me think that I don't even have a close relationship with my own family. And I'm not saying that at work you can't find a friend, but if you and far and in between that you're going to find a genuine person at work to be kind of cool with. Cuz sometimes you tell people stuff and they end up telling your business to the next person anyway. So, that's not a friend.
You can't trust nobody at work cuz then you tell somebody your business. Oh, I took off work because of this, that, and the third. Then they'll run to a manager and say, "Oh, she called out." And the lady that be running her mouth, you called out last week, too.
They all worried about who called out, who did this, who did that. I said, "Oh my god, child.
This is a neverending battle at work.
Just try come here, keep my mouth closed, and mind my damn business.
But the really sad part is a lot of drama be coming from a lot of the people that's in leadership. A lot of this stuff come from these messy managers. So these managers out here be super messy and um they don't like you. You going to have a rough time.
But um I be laying low, man. I lay low.
I be laying low.
And then when you lay low, they still trying to come get you. They still try.
Honey, what do you guys got going on today?
Y'all going to work, too, or y'all staying home? Somebody said they're off today. They took the day off. Good for you. I'm not a model employee and don't care. I know, right?
All my employees do my job. I know. I wish everybody could think like that, but it's so much messy and these job and this is this is at every job. It's not just my job. Like you could just see these companies out here. You could these can be multi-billion dollar big businesses and they got some mess going on within the employee realm and half the mess come from half of it are these stupid managers that they hire to be the leaders and they be super messy.
But that's okay cuz baby, I'm still going to come and get this money regardless of how messy you are. But I've been in this for a long time. I've been working since I was what, 14 years old. When I was younger and I had my first jobs and stuff at places like McDonald's and stuff, I didn't understand.
But me being 45, about to be 46 child, this is a struggle. I was like, "Dad, is this what my mom and dad went through when they were working? The messy hell that you got to go through? the people trying to see what kind of car you driving and see if you married. They come try to check your social media and oh, I saw you. Oh, I sent you a Facebook request.
One of the ladies that I used to work with, this was at another job. She was like, "Oh, I sent you a Facebook request like a month ago." I said, "Okay, first of all, why you on Facebook, Instagram, or whatever trying to find me?
Don't worry about me. I have a a professional relationship with everybody and that's where I want to keep it.
Don't worry about who I'm dating, who I'm talking to, where I live, what kind of car I drive. Like, please, I'm going to need you to mind your business, sis.
I'm going to need you to mind your freaking business. Don't Don't come send me no Facebook cuz I don't send nobody at my job a request on Facebook or Instagram cuz I don't give a damn. I don't care about your life.
