Lies, Sex, And Pills: The untold Story of Brè Howard

The Stars within

Making friends is not always the easiest thing for me to do. Meeting new people is easy, but trying to make people happy is a whole other situation. When you meet people that you know are good for you and are supposed to be in your life they tend to sneak up in the right way and/or wrong way. How I met these next few ladies are funny, but also sad because the things that brake you don't always make you stronger.

The OLG at the boat:
The sarcastic motherly one
Tanya is a character in her own right. She is funny, serious, kind, and just a jack of all trades really. Tanya or Big T as I call her has a motherly side to her that you can't ignore. I can admit she can be very much at times but it's all out love. Meeting at the boat was the surface of our courtship. She caught my attention because I started on a weekend and Toni trained me. One of Tanya's favorite lines were "what we tipping y'all out for then?" It used to crack me up. I think my favorite moment I had with Tanya was when we were talking about my safety as a person, and how she wished that sometimes I didn't do so much or make a scene all the time. I can say though being around her, and her spirit is always a fun spirit to be around. Now one thing she does do is tell you the truth, and don't give damn how she says or how you feel because she doesn't hold her tongue. Which is why I respect Tanya and hate her at the same time, but always have much love for her. So Tanya if you reading this "Take the battery out lol. I love you chick and thanks for everything."

The soft one but funny one
Latricia and I met around the time when her belly was swollen, and she had micro braids in her hair. Tricia is the funny one to me. She is not as sarcastic as Tanya, but when she wants to read you she can, but anyway she is really cool though. Tricia is also like a motherly figure to me because I can talk to Tricia, and get advice from her without judgment. I remember Tricia came up to me and said "why every time I see you it look like you lost your best friend or something. Brittany one thing you have to stop doing is letting these people get to you." Tricia has taught me some good life lessons, and I always can bring her a good laugh every now and again with my crazy ass. So yes out of these three Tricia is the one who is mellow but keeps everybody on their toes, and laughing too.

The Lifetime Mother
Now, the one who has been the longest with the entire group even before me was Linda. Ms. Lin as everyone calls her is a sweet gentle soul, but will tell you like it is no chaser real quick. Now Ms. Lin and I made a connection over the months of her getting to know me. I grew close to Ms. Lin, and her personality because she had my back, and always kept me grounded. She never made fun of me, nor did she judge me. It's crazy because she was always the one who defended me when it came to certain scenarios. I have experienced some really good moments with her. Some I am not going share but there is a moment that was very valuable to me and it was when she spoke to me about my behavior, and work ethic. She explained to me " Brittany sometimes you have to learn how to control yourself. You don't have to say something every time someone says something to you. Hell don't respond because they not going to help you in the long run." It was more to the conversation, but I will just say that she is a woman that helps me more than she thinks, and I am still growing, and I'm happy I met all these women because to be honest they are showing me that there is a better way to handle things, and I'm not handling them the way I should be. So I thank these ladies because these ladies are helping me understand that life will always give you lemons, but how your lemonade is made is up to you.
