The Official If I Were A Boy Blog

I'm going through growing pains
Maybe some of yall know what I'm talking about
It literally hurts to become this woman
This adult. This confident

And like a 16 year boy who grows 5 inches in one year
I have stretchmarks across my mind

Yes.
They will one day fade
But right now they are dark
and clearly visible

And I dont care who sees
These scar and stripes are my badge of honor
I'm not a victim or a survivor
I have embraced my life.........

I didn't come from a family that really believed in secular education.  It was all about educating yourself for the church.  You either got married or you became a missionary.  And well neither were my calling.  I got married but that shyt,well, it was a m.i.s.t.a.k.e.  We'll act like it never happened. 

So for the last few years, I've been going to school while working fulltime.  And this year I'm a fulltime  student working from home.  It's pretty awesome.

        James, well at least we will call him that, is model gorgeous. I'm talking about fine. So when I was able to catch his attention I was doing cartwheels inside.  But then he began to talk.  And everything out of his mouth was about her. Her being his FIANCE.  I'm thinking...BACK UP...you have a fiance?  He's like yes we've been together 5 years.  At that point I started to hear crickets but I wanted to hear what he had to say.

       He went into a long discourse about how he isn't sure if he wants to get married but they have been together along time.  Then he began to moan over the fact that he's been at the club two hours and she hasn't even called to check on him.  James figured that if she really loved him that she would care where he was at night but obviously she didn't.  Wow! Like seriously. You want a stalker? The conversation continued on for longer than I should have allowed. But I was curious about what other lame ass stuff he could possibly say. And he didn't disappoint.

I wish this was a one time deal, but me and my girlfriends get hit on by more men in relationships then those who are single.  It's like the minute they get locked down we suddenly become their type.  I usually get excuses like:

So I got this email today from my GRANDMOTHER.  I admit sometimes I hit delete when I see her emails because they are always bad forwarded jokes.  (Sorry Gramma!)  But this did make me chuckle and I thought appropriate for the If I Were A Boy.com site.

FIVE TIPS FOR WOMEN:

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.

2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
