A lot has happened within the last few months.
I am now currently and OFFICIALLY living with just my two sisters.

In all honesty there is no real difference. We've always been living alone, so instead I don't have to speak to my mother. The day she just took my sisters, we got into it.. like really bad, so bad. But this time, I didn't allow her to put her hands on me, so I fought back. I felt so bad about it to because I never thought it'd get to that point. Me having to put my hands on my mother in self defense was never supposed to happen.

I simply cut my mother out of my life. That was just negativity I didn't need at all. Again, there wasn't a difference because I didn't speak to her anyway.

I never typically needed her. All the times I needed her, she simply pushed her job above me. My sisters never needed her either, sad to say I was their mother figure. Once I was old enough, she pushed her motherly duties on to me. I'm just happy I am able to balance it all.

I do speak and see my father on a daily basis though. It was extremely hard convincing him to not only allow me to move out but also with my little sisters.

He truly eventually understood though, after explaining it a million times. He supports us still, like I don't have to worry about any bills. I just buy food, our menstrual necessities and our wants.

Also in the middle of that, I broke up with Beyoncé. But it wasn't anything about what she did or I did but it was because I felt as if I was just too much. I had just entered her life and I brought all this drama into it and I felt really bad.

Within our first couple of months together she saw me get beat by my mother and I stayed with her for a while? Embarrassing wasn't the word to truly explain it.

She wasn't mad at me either. She respected it. She understood it, like she seems to always do. She gave me my time.

She didn't act like I didn't exist either. She still spoke to me, checked up on me on a daily. She acted as the friend I truly needed at that time. Her parents and sister were still very supportive of my sisters and I. Solange and Ming got very close.

But that was then, we eventually ended up getting back together. I haven't realized how much of an impact Beyoncé and her family made an on me or my sisters.. Those are the kind of people I need in my life. Girlfriend or not, those aren't the type of people you let slip through your fingers.

Kelly and Robyn? I don't even know where to begin truly. Maybe I'll start with how none of us are friends anymore. Well, besides Robyn and I, we're still close, maybe even closer than before.
