    A few things I want to comment before anyone watches: 1.) I picked the WORST quality photos for each of my episode examples. OMG, but I'm not changing it lol. 2.) I didn't quite finish my hollywood Forever story, I got back in contact with the guy...right after the screening...you'll get it when you watch. 3.) I have PCOS... and when I recorded this I was in between waxes. Do with that info what you will lol. Thank you for watching :)

    Omg. Insecure is a classic. I’m happy you had the opportunity to go back and watch it. I can completely understand being triggered by it because I also agree when I watched it the first time while it was airing, I found myself feeling like someone was writing a story on my life because of a lot of the overlap And things I could relate to whether it was in Issa’s life or the other characters’.

  • @priscillawilson9703
    @priscillawilson9703 День назад +33

    As far as this ghosting goes it's very disturbing to me that folks don't know how to break up anymore. Hate that it happened to you, happened to me as well. It's like as soon as my heart began to swell with anticipation "BOOM" this character decides to just be nonexistent.

    • @beewest5704
      @beewest5704 День назад +3

      I come from a town/ culture where no man ever breaks up with you. You find the house empty except for the divorce papers on the kitchen counter. You come back home from work & find his things gone. You think the 5 months is going well them find out you got blocked from all their social & their friends/ families socials. The best you can hope for is if his new gf answers his call & tell you not to bother him anymore. 😂😭
      So if he tells you to your face he doesn't want you, you know he is just playing!

    Thank you so much for this Christmas present!! 😊
    I’ve only been a bridesmaid once, at my sister’s wedding, and I loved it because all my siblings were involved. But it was also expensive (dress, shoes, hair!) and exhausting with all the meetings and dance rehearsals. After that, I knew that I’ll never put myself forward for that role again, unless asked. Years later, when a close friend of mine got married, I had mixed emotions. She and I had shared so much during university, and I treasured our friendship. When she told me she could only have five bridesmaids and asked if I could be a guest, I was secretly relieved. But when I found out who she chose, it stung. Two of the bridesmaids were women she had clashed with multiple times, but still kept in her circle because of their shared Course at University, so they had the same friends in that cycle. I couldn’t understand why she picked them over me, especially after everything we’d been through together, and the passive-aggressive dynamic she had with them. She does not know about my stance about being in weddings - no one does, and I prefer it that way. I would have said yes if she had asked. Gladly. It’s funny how those old feelings resurface - the baby shower reminded me of THAT time, and I realised the wound still isn’t fully healed. I will always support my friends and family if they ask me to be a part of their special day, regardless of the role I'm asked to perform. But knowing who I was overlooked for really stung.

  • @mamimelusine
    @mamimelusine 15 часов назад +2

    I don’t know what it is about friendships that we don’t just vocalize ourselves the way we do in romantic relationships. I had a close friendship fall out over similar dynamics to your baby shower story. Why is it so hard to say, “I wasn’t sure you had the capacity to be there for me” and “I really want to be a part of this and help to make your day special.” And life transitions like weddings and babies seem to bring out a lot of unstated tensions.
    No one can roast you like a little kid. One of the reasons I teach college and not K12. Volunteering at my son’s school recently reminded me that I have some trauma to heal around being bullied as a child.
    It kind of drives me nuts when I see people talking Insecure’s LA as mythical because to me Issas Black LA is actually real. My husbands parents know Issas dad and I know where she grew up and frequent most of the places and businesses we see on the show. Black LA is in Inglewood/Crenshaw/View Park/Leimert areas, not Hollywood. I find that a lot of black transplants to LA come for entertainment industry so they move out to certain areas and never find us.
    Dating as a Black woman is always struggle but at least in the early 2000s and 2010s me and most of my unambiguously Black female friends in LA eventually married imperfect but handsome, good, professional Black men. Maybe it is worse now, though.

    This is a tangent on the topic of controlling party planners (I don't have a point just yapping for engagement pls feel free to ignore LMAO) so I was DEFINITELY that person earlier this year for my 25th birthday party. It was Spongebob 24/25 themed and I made a bunch of decorations in the weeks leading up to sprinkle around the house as well as make each room a different part of Bikini Bottom. Did I mention I decided to have this party after an epiphany that I need to cleebrate my life only like 2 or 3 weeks before my birthday? Lmaooooo I definitely bit off more than I could chew. And, realistically, I could have asked for help from two, if not three or four people during the decoration making process and at least one or two people during the actual decorating of the house, but I had such a specific idea of how I wanted things that I would physically wince/cringe at the idea of accepting help. It was a really cute party. I caved and got help for parts I was too short to reach lol I feel like my happiest moment was after everythng was decorated but before everyone got there 💀 like I definitely over extended myself and there was an unexpected tragedy the night before that really had me wanting to cancel everything, so it's like I'm glad I didn’t, but I also wasn't in the mood to take nearly as many photos of everyone dressed up. Like I said I didn't really have a point, these videos are just so relatable I can't not leave a comment omg
