10 Things I'm Not Here For

I can't.

10 Things I'm Not Here For
Me

As a human being, I like to keep an optimistic view in life. However, as a human being, I also sometimes hate everything.

In honor of those moments when I'd rather throw a temper tantrum than be a socially acceptable adult, here's a list 10 things I'm not here for.

1. Humidity.

I can't tell you how un-here I am for humidity. As a black, natural-haired being, humidity is simply disrepectful to my fresh twist-out and my layed edges. How dare you, humidity? I'm not here for you.

2. Ashy ankles.

No matter how many passes of the coco butter stick, you revert back to your 10-minutes-out-of-the-shower look. It's summer time and I want to wear sandals. How am I supposed to be fleeky if you keep betraying me like this? I'm not here for you.

3. Chlorine pools.

4. Literal early birds.

Have you ever been snuggly in your bed and had your dreams disrupted by these sky-demons? What's so important that you have to communicate at 4am? Is my bedroom window the hotspot for the latest aerial gossip? I'm really not here for that.

5. Reckless drivers

If you're a reckless driver and you're reading this, I hope you take the highest offense. You have no respect for my life or my fender and so I have no respect for your time. If you want to tailgate, I'll slow down. If you want to cut me off...well...there's not much I can do about that but you better believe I'm gonna wish upon you the flattest of tires as you zip by me because I'm not here for you.

6. Taking off my makeup at night.

I hate this. Why is life unfair? I wanna sleep beautiful. I want to wake up beautiful. I want to constantly be a queen. Why must I have to transform back into my gremlin state right before the most beautiful time of day: bedtime? I'm not here for that.

7. Bad kids.

If you're going to invite me over to your home and you happen to harbor two to five missing links, I'm not here for you or them. If your children come with a leash or a warning...we can't be friends.

8. Open coughers/ sneezers.

Let me explain: if you cough, sneeze, yawn etc. without covering your mouth I'm EXTRA not here for you. And there's a special level or not-here-ness for those of you who like to open-cough in enclosed areas (i.e the car or my personal space bubble).

9. That edgy guy.

I'm not here for you if you're that edgy guy in the comments. I'm sorry but you're not edgy or alternative you're bored with Internet access and enough brain power to understand what it means to play the devil's advocate. I cannot condone your shenanigans and will actively work to abolish your kind from the World Wide Web. May the fates be ever in your favor.

10. Chance the Rapper's ignorance of my existence.

I CAN NOT BE MORE UN-HERE FOR THE FACT STATED ABOVE. Honestly, Chance, what are you waiting for? We're clearly ships passing in the night, forbidden lovers, and every other tragic love scenario. Just educate yourself about my existence and come love me. I even managed to work you into this article, I'm serious about us. Call me.


I hope this list encourages you to express your anger and frustration in a positive way. Comment below some thing you are really not here for. ✌🏾️

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
