Have you ever been surrounded by

[Phatty]

People who didn't like who you are?

Let's say you have several friends, and each of them wanted to change something about you...

The way you dress

The things you don't like

The way you talk

The way you spend your time.

Everyone has an opinion of how you should dress, talk, speak, when, where and how.

How would that make you feel?

Would you feel like you should disappear, or actually change?

That would be the simpler way to go...what if it's not an option... Well it is, but you think that their warped way of thinking is that they think they are helping.

You get me?

If mi cuss an gwaan dem juss tell mi seh mi fi change

Oh I'm happy with who I am. From my baggy jeans to the tight ones from short dresses to my throwback, from my cornrows to my long braids. I love me. From me cussing out everybody from the grandma to the grandchild. I love that about me.

I refuse to take disrespect whether it be from my Mama or yours that's me. Don't like it? The door you used to get in can be used to walk out. That's how you met me, why try and change me?

Re: Have you ever been surrounded by

Changing miself would require too much energy on my part - easier to change mi fren dem

unless I agree with what they are saying (which would be very unlikely)

I know couple years ago I had started putting on some weight and when I went home my niece (who is my best friend in the world we are only 2 years apart) said to me

&quot;Look here - let me tell you since it seem like nuhbaddy uppa farrin nuh waan tell yuh - you need to lose 10-15 pounds and work pon yuh belly - yuh too shawt fe put on dat weight - it ah go mek u look tumpa tumpa&quot;

I was like den

but mi know say she nah go steer mi wrong and I knew I had allowed myself to get lazy - so mi wuk off de extra weight wen mi reach back home...

So i guess I am saying ti depends on the source and how much validity I think there is in what they are saying - if ah did sumaddy else tell mi, I would probly kiss my teet an tell dem fe KMA.
