"Keep in mind that I'm an artist; and I'm sensitive about my shit."
I am an artist. But not in the sense that I can take a paint brush and construct a piece of visual artistry. I'm a verbal artist, and I'm quite good at it if I do say so myself. But on the real everybody, I'm just a girl from Jersey with ambitions, dreams and a way with words. I've been lucky enough to have a few titles to go along with my name and I've been blessed enough to fit into each role accordinly. Mother, Mentor, Student, Freelance Writer, Publicist, Daugher, Sister and Friend. But for reasons I'll explain in a moment; I prefer "MissFit."
Yeah, I said it: MissFit. But dont take it and run with it. You see, a MissFit is simply a woman (or man) who has flaws ans embraces them instead of trying to distract you from them. Don't get me wrong, I didn't always like the person I was. When I was younger, I thought I was ugly. I hated my dark skin complexion, I hated the fact that I was skinny and I hated that one of my front teeth was chipped. I thought being dark skinned automatically made me unattractive and I felt this way until I was in about the sixth or seventh grade. I realized that everybody is beautiful in their own way and true beauty goes way deeper than outside appearances. My dark skin complexion I've learned to embrace as well as I've gotten older and a lot wiser. My level of confidence is extremely high but it is not to the point where I'm conceited and feel the need to belittle others. So yes, I'm a MissFit and damn proud to be one. Nobody's perfect, hun.
I am a walking, talking statistic but I refuse to let you call me that. I come from one of the meanest cities in the country but I am not ashamed.(I love Newark!) I went to what some people would call a "bad" high school but it was far from bad. And I had a baby before I graduated High School. However, I've never let any of these things deter me from being successful. I actually thank Newark, New Jersey, West Side High School and Anari Aniya Tillman for making me the young woman I am today. When you come from hard circumstances, you learn not to let the small things phase or distract you. I am a statistic, but I'm exceeding your expectations.
And last but not least, the reason for "Kiss My Conscious".
Almost every six months, I decide to create a blog and about a month or so into it, I decided I've strayed away from what I really wanted to do. But not this time. This go-around, I'm more focused, determined and I've got alot to say. I can be pretty blunt about certain things, I can be funny, I can be serious but best of all, I can guarentee you that 100% of the time, I can be me! Raw, real and uncensored. You might like it, you might hate it but I just want you to remember the key word of my blog title, Kiss MY Conscious. These are my thoughts and feelings and if you don't like 'em... Tough toenails.
Love Mo
