Things I Thought I Would Never Do

Today my co-workers had me giggling. They were having a discussion about things they would never do. I didn't get in the discussion because quite frankly I don't really know what I would never do. Well, except eat bugs. I would never do that {at least not purposely}.

I started thinking about things I thought I would never do and I figured I would share them on the blog.

1. I never thought I would join a sorority.

{This was my exact thoughts. Why would anyone buy their friends? How lame could you possibly be? Sorority girls are so slutty and conceited. All they they do is drink and mess around with fraternity boys. These are all thoughts that cross your mind when you THINK you know but you really have no idea. I joined regardless of my resistance and found my best friends in the entire world. Boy, am I thankful that I was wrong}

2. I never thought I would marry a white guy.

{Growing up, I always imagined this tall, dark skin man for my husband. With abs as hard as steel and swagger you couldn't resist. Imagine Morris Chestnut and if you have no idea who he is, I'll show you.


This is what I imagined my future husband to look like. But boy, am I happy that I was wrong. Morris Chestnut has got nothing on Sean!

3. I never thought I would attempt to go natural.

{Nappy hair is what we called it. Sometimes we called it kinky. Now that I am older I am surprised that any child would know the word kinky. That word should not be used to describe hair.

Nappy hair was hard, nappy hair was dry, nappy hair was ugly, nappy hair was hard to manage, nappy hair meant lots of tears.

Now I call it a beautiful journey to embrace that nappy hair. A beautiful journey that not many are brave enough to travel. A lot of people consider their hair to be their beauty and if all your life your natural hair was considered the opposite, who would want to embrace that? But I am so glad that I am embracing it. It is a lot of trial and error but it is exciting to see that I am finally learning what my hair wants and realizing that my hair is absolutely gorgeous in all its nappy glory.

4. I never thought I would own a cell phone.

{My mom begged me to get one when I entered college. I didn't want one. I hated the fact that anywhere I could be, everyone could get in contact with me.

My second year in college my mom made me because I had a bad habit of not returning calls and well, sometimes my mom thought that maybe I was lying naked in a ditch. She would pay the phone bill so I agreed and boy am I glad she forced me. I can't imagine not having a cell phone. How in the world can you live? The best part is texting. I can let you know I am alive without ever having to talk to you. Perfect!}

5. I never thought I wouldn't be living in NYC.

{I am a NYC gal. That is why I am street smart and have a bit of an attitude. I speak a certain way and I walk like a New Yorker. You don't know what a New Yorker walks like? Just imagine someone walking really, really fast but somehow managing to look rather chic and cool.

I love the subway and I love the shopping. When people who aren't from NYC finally step outside they say it stinks but I welcome the pollution. This is home, I love that dirty smell. Oh and that hobo on the train doesn't scare me, he told me he wants money to buy some beers. How can you be afraid of that? And you never mug a true New Yorker because you know that mace is their bff.

But here I am. Not in NYC. Married a boy who is definitely not from NYC. I am sad that my children won't be street smart but you best believe they will learn to lock the freaking doors, even if it kills me! I'm still working on that damn hubs of mine but he will be trained before the young ones arrive!

There are a million and one things I thought I would never do. I never thought it would please me to cook for my husband after a long day at work. I never thought I would not shop for new clothes in a year to save for my wedding. I never thought I would blog and share my life with people I didn't know but here I am.

Loving every moment of doing things I never thought I would do.
