I analyzed my body in my full length mirror before turning around and doing a slight twerk.
The gym love me and I love the gym.
If my shape look like this now, I can only imagine what it'll look like in two years.
Or even in my twenties, that's gonna be crazy.
I love that.
I slipped on my jeans that hugged my slender waist before putting on socks. We're going to some family event that ma's auntie is having.
It's so random.
Most of our family events be random. Everybody just be getting together just to get drunk.
I like ma's side of the family, so I'm actually excited. They're more peaceful and calm. Nobody be tryna argue or nothing, and I can actually get along with my cousins.
My cousins on momma side, I don't like them. They don't like me either, and some of the family expressed that they don't like my momma.
Apparently, she too boujee and think she better than everybody. They say I'm the same, I don't see how.
It's not true, but oh well.
If that's what make their soul happy, they can die with that false ass narrative.
I made my way to my bathroom and started taking out my curling rods. For a second, I thought about trying to fix the rest.
Nope.
It's a one hundred percent chance that I'm gonna mess my hair up. My momma told me to let her do it anyway, so I'm gonna listen.
Learning how to do my own hair would be nice.
"You can't wear that tube top like that" my momma said before I looked at the shirt through the mirror
"I know, I'm putting a jacket over it"
"Either that or change it. Your daddy gone have a field day with both of us" she said before I laughed and shook my head
"No, he gone have a field day with you because you bought it"
"You right, so to prevent us from getting cursed out put the jacket on. Don't take it off either" she said in a serious tone
"When I turn sixteen, y'all need to give me some leeway. I wanna be able to wear what I want without y'all crying. Ain't nobody going through all that"
"First, you do have freedom. Two, you're a child, so if you have on something inappropriate we're gonna say something"
"How y'all got a problem with my clothes when y'all buying them?" I asked genuinely wanting to know, "Y'all don't make sense, it's dumb"
I don't get it.
"Jaeuh just because we buy your clothes don't mean shit" she spat out, "You don't wear your clothes how we buy them"
"What?"
"You tie, cut, and roll up your shirts. Jaeuh you do all kinds of shit to your clothes. Even your pants. And you be ordering revealing clothes and hiding them"
