Perils of Love #29:

I walked over an hour, through the snow, to get to work, worked, then shoveled out my car AND a new parking spot. Who wants a ride or die chick? That guy flirting with as I am FINISHED does (booooo).

Perils of Love #47:

In a room of unavailable women. I’m the one not being asked out by a man. It could be a skill. If I knew what I was doing. SMH.

Perils of Love #43

My skin, lips, butt, breast, vagina, hair, language, dance, food, fashion; all ridiculed until somebody else decides. It's cool. I stand naked, with no pride, still nobody listens.

ENTP? Look here see. I can’t date a guy who abbreviates everything. You’ll always be waiting for me to look that ish up. I’ll always secretly think you don’t know how to spell.

Perils of Love #40

Old man: “I didn’t know black was beautiful until you came back!” Pause. Where is this land to which I’ve traveled? Did black women go out of style while I was gone? Is it CPT there or here? I don’t think I’ve arrived yet.

Modes of communication that you can still use when your cell phone is out of service: Landline, voicemail, email, Facebook, Face-to-face. You can also use Tinder... if you want to talk to someone else.
