Humming to the song that was playing in my Beats, i worked delicately on the set of lashes i was doing for today

Usually i would work in complete silence but today i had to had some type of music playing in my ears to distract me from the fact that today was my grandmothers death anniversary

This day is just a day of reminding myself that i have came a long way with just her guidance and help with forming my life

Which i am forever grateful for

After 3 hours i was finished with my work, so i cleaned my clients face and took a video of my work

I finished up with her and cleaned my lash room for the next day which was for sure going to be busy

I finished up with her and cleaned my lash room for the next day which was for sure going to be busy

Today has been a very rough week so far and it has caused me to be very distant with my dad and close friend Alaya

They both have been checking up on me but i haven't really been in the mood to chat with anyone. Just being alone so much has gotten to me more than usual

On top of that i have really bad mental health problems nobody really knows about so with everything going on i just feel as though it's best to be alone and make my money

Going into my room, i grabbed my things i needed for a shower so i could relax the rest of the day and sleep

After my shower i got cozy in my comfortable ass bed that i missed so much all day, and just as i was about to start my movie my phone began to rang making me groan in agony

Incoming call from LayLay

"I wish i could paint our loveeee" Alaya sang loudly through my phone

"Girl" i said laughing at her antics

"Not even gonna sing back knowing that's our song, lame" She said moving around in her car

"i wish i could paint our loveee, these moments and vibrant huesss" I said back with the same energy

"Ahh period, what you been up to today?" She asked

I shrugged looking up at my tv with my movie waiting to be played, "Nun much, making money"

"Period, love a hard working woman. I wish you all the success" She said smiling

"Thanks boo, i appreciate it. Where you at right now?" I asked curiously cause she barely leave her house, just like me

"Girl just left my plug house, bout to smoke shi you know me" she said waving a little bag of weed in the camera

"Girl ain't the plug supposed to come to you?" I asked laughing cause i'm pretty sure that's how it works

"Yeaaa, we was just chatting to be real after i bought off him. He real cool and fine as hell. I don't know" She said shrugging and sticking her tongue out

"Girl i know the hell not-" I said being cut off by us laughing at each other

"Relax ho, this ain't that" She said

"Girl i'm relaxed, ain even say nun. Look at you" I said rolling my eyes

Alaya is a very beautiful female and she could have any man she want by just the snap of a finger, she be having a lot going on with these men to be real

"Ouu, Mommy calling me. Imma hit you up later tonight before bed chile" She said grabbing her phone and going on pause

I said ok and our phone conversation was cut short, making way for me to push play on my movie that has been waiting on me

A day later

Back at it again, i've been up since 9am doing lashes and enjoying time with my clients and getting to know my new ones

Today has been a overall good day which was surprising only because of how i was feeling yesterday

"Girly these are really cute on you, they fit your eye shape" I told my new client , Sasha

"Thanks girl, im definitely gonna stick with this because this actually fits. Last girl i went to did a horrible job i was so mad" She said shaking her head

"Girl that's crazy" I said keeping it short because i'm never the type to down-talk another up and coming woman

"But you ate, thank you so much" she said smiling looking in the mirror

I thanked her as well and got finished up with her and got ready for my next client

And the cycle of that repeated until it got to 11 at night, usually i never stay up that late working but i took on extra clients for today knowing the money was always good

After i showered and ate my dinner for tonight i was able to get some prayer in and journaling for the sake of my sanity

All of which caused for me to enter a deep and peaceful slumber
