My First Time in the City of Brotherly Love

My First Time in the City of Brotherly Love

By iamcharlieg March 4, 2019March 14, 2019

Today is Valentine’s Day! And before you go off to celebrate with your significant other orrrrr have an encouraging one night stand, when you do, do “it”, make sure “it’s” strapped up.

Some facts for my people: • About 45% of African Americans make up the population of those who are HIV infected
• About 55% of all REPORTED cases of gonorrhea occur among BLACK Americans
• The rate of chlamydia amongst black women was 5x the rate amongst white women
• 6.8x higher is the rate amongst black men in comparison to white men when it came to chlamydia
• Theres a 40% increase in congenital syphilis cases between 2017-2018 meaning more women in America are not only contracting syphilis, but are now passing it to their babies 😳😳😳 And for those of you who just aren’t ready yet, fun fact: • Back in 2015, a lot of babies were conceived during the week of Valentine’s Day, which is up a full 6% compared to any other average week that year!

Don’t stop doing it, have a great time! But make sure when you do it, you’re doing it SAFE.
Respect your partner this V-Day with @playboy condoms you can find at your local @walmart!

When I first met Domo, it was freshman year of high school in year 2005. We had home room together in the library. She was sooooo pretty to me. She was like a shiny Barbie doll and I wanted her to be my friend. But based on her facial expressions and highly arched eyebrows, I thought she was a total popular ass, potentially stuck up bitch. I was wrong. But bc of that, we never really spoke much unless she was buying hot Cheetos from me (bc I was the candy selling queen in 05 😂) and I was easily intimidated back then.

Fast forward to around 2015, we randomly started coming around each other whenever she came back in town to shoot with Dre. We organically drifted towards one another and from there our friendship grew.

I never knew what she saw in me and still sees bc in another dimension, we probably wouldn’t be friends. We have absolutely nothing in common. But bc we’re both such genuine, honest, caring individuals always looking for a good time and sincerely wishing the best for one another, we’ve always had each other’s backs. What can I say? At the end of the day, real will always recognize real and that’s ultimately the glue that keeps us together and naturally relays respect for one another.

I love you to infinity and beyond, bitch. Happy birthday @domiskloset! To 29, fine like wine ✨ — 744 23

Me exhausted at the amount of ppl I blocked that somehow find a way around that block and still proceed to contact me.

PAUSE: if I’ve distanced myself from you for some period of time, stay away. I’m happy now. And just because I’m not volatile or vehement in passing when I come across you in public does not mean we are friends. I’m just maturing. Back tf back and go that-a-way.👉🏾 Coexisting in public spaces together does not make us friends, it makes us adults and I intend to stay that way peacefully and do not anticipate re-inviting any ruckus or disturbance to my sanity all 2020.

That energy ✨
