SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA SWITCH! (SYGS)I would like to start this blog post out by saying…WERK BEY!!

Moving on…..

I came up with SYGS one day when I was at work and feeling like the ugliest person in the world! My hair was not done, I had on leggings, a t-shirt and the same pair of boots I was wearing all winter long. This was like day 9 with this same type of outfit. I was bloated, on top of being depressed that for the first time I had weighed over 150 pounds. I was stressed out about school tuition being paid in time and my advisor who wasn’t helping me much as far as my classes go was stressing me out as well. It was just a few months that I walked around without doing my hair, I didn’t put on any makeup or even matching socks!

wait…I never put on matching socks o_O….

any who, I was just really feeling down about myself.

So this one particular day at work my mom asked me what was wrong with me and why have I been looking so down. I stared at her for a second trying to come up with a reason that would get her off my back, but I just burst into tears. I felt sofreaking ugly! There was so much going on and I was letting what was going on in the inside of me reflect on the outside, and that should never be the case. So after I gave my mom this dramatic schpill about how stressed out I was, you know what she did?

SHE LAUGHED AT ME! I mean she just sat there and laughed and could not believe the reason I was crying was because I felt ugly. So after trying to keep producing tears to convince my mom that I was serious, I gave up and started cracking up with her. We sat there laughing at me for a good 5 minutes! smh. After we both stopped laughing my mom said, “GET YOURSELF TOGETHER GIRL, YOU ARE MY CHILD AND YOU ARE NOT ABOUT TO WALK AROUND LIKE THAT!” She came over to me, gave me a hug and fixed my hair, she then told me to put on some lipgloss or something.

In that moment, I knew that I had to pull it together. No matter what my mom is going through she ALWAYS looks good. Not a day goes by when she doesn’t have on her heels, her hair done and a little makeup. Not saying that is what I have to do but it isn’t good to let your outside reflect what is going on in the inside. You have to walk through each day like you got this so that everything else will line up in your life! Once you take control everything else will have no choice but to get in order. No matter how bad it is KNOW that it will get better.

So, I got myself together and felt I had to make a PSA!

I got on snapchat and recorded myself switching. I didn’t care how I was feeling and i didn’t care who saw me! I then posted that video to IG and made the hashtag #SometimesYouGottaSwitch! SYGS when everything seems to be going wrong. Though it may not make your problems go way but it is a symbol for you being in control of your own life that your living! It’s taking a stand that you can do what you want to do, no matter who or what sees you!

Whether your walking to the shower, your car, into work, to the gas station pump you go ahead a switch those hips today! Take control of you life!
