X 2

In thinking about the president getting impeached twice. I started to think about bad decisions I myself have made twice. Two dates in one night, dated the same man twice, had two s.... never mind. 

Never having repeated a bad action has it worked out better the second time. 

That one guy I dated twice, I thought that time had matured us both and he found all new ways to disappoint me. When he first dated he was married (Yeah yeah, judge ya momma). He was going through a divorce. He was easily distracted, by his family. Didn’t matter the level of importance of the call, he would run to check on them, from a lock out, to a lost remote, he would run. 🏃🏾Once the middle of a rather intimate session because his wife didn’t want to call her boyfriend but him to help her with a key she broke in a lock. I assumed the lack of a wife would make me more of priority, and I was wrong. After his divorce, his brother and mother soon filed that role  and I was left alone more than I deemed necessary. When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them. 

Those two dates, well the first one was trash. He looked great, like Drake but it was over wellbefore it started. It was Valentine’s Day and he was late. I don’t do late, late will get you left but on Valentine’s Day it’s just plain rude. Why did I schedule a first date on that day, I guess I was lonely. The guy I wanted to spend it with was out of the country. Then Drake was super broke. He had shown  up with $10 to his name and said if I was a real woman,  I would cover the date. The sate had no plan, I met broke Drake in front of a restaurant he could afford and he ended up walking around why he told me that women didn’t support his rap dreams and he was going to be big someday. We spot a Nandos and make our way inside. He orders fries, only thing is his budget as he had to afford a bus ticket home 🤦🏾‍♀️. I ordered myself some sangria and  I proceeded to the bathroom to hatch an escape plan. An older lady had seen me enter and heard me call my girls for the emergency escape call and then a new date to pick up soon after I left. She laughed the whole way back to her table, where she told her husband and he laughed an gave me thumbs up while my “date” continued talking. My phone rings I proceed with the fake emergency that him for the fry, and walk him to a bus stop. I blocked him before I hit the corner. The next date was better, we went for dessert and I can into something friends. Great way to salvage a hard evening...

The third one... well a hot shower can snap back a lot of things. Lol

I say all this to say:  Sometimes you don’t learn your lesson and have to repeat the situation twice. And sometimes you’re just trying to escape reality and end up much worse then you started. Don’t date men until their divorces are final and even then there is baggage. Don’t storm the Capitol with you racist buddies. Don’t date aspiring rappers with $10 to their name even if they look like Drake. Don’t commit treason against your country. Don’t repeat stupid mistakes. Believe people the first time... and as a bonus have some good girlfriends to get you out of the trouble you got yourself into it.

Last but not least, have a backup plan... 

Krysty out...

Don't let the bougie fool you, I said I was from Woodlawn : 36 questions about me

I haven't felt like myself in a long time and for the first time in years, I feel renewed and awake and happy. I thought I would take advantage of the lift out of the fog of depression and reintroduce myself. 1.Where did I grow up? Chicago, Woodlawn to be exact. My Instagram handle is Kurlykrysbchi... I will always be part of the Chi. 2. What's the most Midwest thing about me? Hmmm. The fact that I can pronounce Illinois correctly? I add an S on the end of proper store names: Jewels, Walgreens? My love of Portillos? The way I turn up my nose at everyone else's downtown? I say pop instead of soda? I say gym shoes, instead of sneakers? You choose. 3. Where do I currently live? Rural Arizona... send prayers! I'm afraid of everything and the thorns have destroyed 3 pairs of Adidas gym shoes. 4. Best friend? I have a few and they will always be my friends. I have in innate ability to always make an amazing friend. If only I had that same discernment when it came to dating.  ...

DC

 Wow and just like that 1 year has passed. I moved to DC at the top of 2022 and I hit the ground running. I went out on so many dates to learn the neighborhoods, I found an apartment I loved, I spent time curating furniture so I could make my space my own, I traveled more than I have my entire life. I was enjoying being in this new space and I talked to new people every day. Even managed to make a few new friends and in that I thought I found the one. He was a lot younger but he was different. Smart, sweet, he listened, Ridiculously handsome, kind, he handled me with kid gloves and I loved that. He was patient with me and did all the small things. I always had flowers, my favorite candy, someone who was always willing to go for a walk when I had a frustrating day. He made all the other dates I had been on seem frivolous. Our first date we went to dive bar. We had PBRs and chatted about life. We had so much in common it felt like I had met him before. We stayed up all night chatting...

And Just Like that...

 It's Time to Leave Arizona Where does the time go?  I told myself I would be writing more frequently about all things, life, love, and my pursuit of happiness. " It is always with the best intentions that the worst work is done." Oscar Wilde I've been packing, moving is such work... and just like that my time here has come to an end.  I've also been working non-stop and when I have free moments the thought of doing more work exhausts me so I have been still... little to no social media, posting or extra jobs. In that quiet, I have gotten some clarity about what I want out of life. I was talking to a few friends about knowing you are on the right path... In my life, I have never fit in. People used to think it was on purpose. Like  I wanted to be perceived as different or I wanted to be a break from the norm but the truth is, I have never figured out how to do what was expected of me, no matter how hard I tried. How do you follow the right path when you don’t know...
