Lies : Why they're stupid to me

 In life we have choices, its your agreeable and disagreeable nature. I like to go with the agreeable side more often than not because it allows me to smile more and love better. I've never been the lying type because its too hard to keep up with that bullshit, and you only lie when you're scared. Besides if I'm gonna lie, its gonna be to get out of trouble or something not to hurt anyone. Especially someone I love.

Lies hold you back too, and why would you want that? Why would you intentionally retard your own growth? Smother your real feelings and stifle other people in the process? I have lied before I'm not saying that but it was when I didn't know how much I was hurting myself and my victims. Its not healthy, its not useful so I wonder why people do it? I'll never know because I'm a truth teller. I owe the world the best me and I cant be that being a fukking liar.

February 14th... Single peoples D-Day

 Its that time of year again, time for taken folks to brag and single folks to nag. I stopped getting all fukked up about not having someone to share that day with. Then I thought about it. I don't even like trendy shit. I'm not really a fan of the color red and I haven't owned a teddy bear in years. So what could a man do for me on Valentines Day that he couldn't do for me on any other day?

Holidays are stupid, (unless its my birthday) they are conducive to making money and that's it. I'd much prefer a Goodwill gift card over a box of chocolates let me tell ya! I don't like to see women all down about it and men dangle their "Valentines availability" on Facebook and shit. I understand the tradition of it and everyone wanting to feel loved and get roses and stuff, but think about the other days of the year. Showing your love and affection requires no dictation and no date. Being sweet and buying little trinkets and things are cool but look at the bigger picture. What's Valentines Day with no real authentic love anyways? When you find yourself getting down about it just think of all the people who are faking that shit. Putting on for the world that they are happy but in all actuality wish they could spend that "real" special someone.

So lets all prepare ourselves for the pics , memes , posts and subposts...lol The sidepiece holiday (Feb. 13 or 15) shit... the "He went to Jared" and all other things associated with the day. Its just a day and doesn't define your relationship worthiness, so chill. You will find someone's nerves to get on one day, you'll find someone to accept you and all of your quirks and kinks and it will be worth it, and you wont need one 24 hour day to define it.

I'm Always Naked

          You know, to be truly naked is to be truly happy. I can't think of a time where I was cloaked in sadness that I really felt free. I'm a hairstylist and I come in contact with lots of folks and I haven't met one that hasn't met the real me. My friends, my coworkers and strangers alike have always thanked me for being myself. I get asked daily by strangers for guidance, not because I'm the Dali fucking Lama but because they see me. I expose myself to the world because I view myself as a gift, ( I THINK YOU SHOULD TOO)  I am not perfect nor would I want to be. I see people live their lives in fear, fear of what people think of them and how they are viewed. I don't have to because me, see, I'm always naked.

 My opinion will always be heard, my presence will always be felt and needless to say I will always be seen. I realized a long time ago that being someone you're not is the perfect way to self-destruction.  But fuck all that. I'm not here for a long time I'm here for a good time! Word to George Strait! I used to be scared as hell to be me. To be fuckin' weird and look different, love different, take sexy and suggestive photos and not be frowned upon. Its such a shame that people grow up being taught such a grotesque view of anatomy and beauty. Its such a shame that people grow up being taught to lie and scheme and shit. (THERE'S THAT CLOAK)  To not be naked.

About the sexy and suggestive pictures though, let me touch on that because people have it all wrong sometimes. Look, my body has caused real life car accidents and altercations. It is unusual to see, I've learned to deal with that but I also like to photograph it. It's just like when someone paints a weird looking alien screaming on a bridge or sculpts the first man, Its beautiful to look at. You can't believe that every woman that takes these kinds of photographs are vile. Chill.

I'm always naked because there is no other way to live, no other way to die. I will be talked about for years to come, I just know it. People love people like me. Raw, full of life passionate, eccentric, open and selfless. I'm always naked...look at me...love me or leave me the fuck alone!

XOXO
