Solidarity & Support needed for a 39 year old, AA woman. Woman has children and a significant amount of student loan debt. Not financially responsible not at all. Sometimes you may have to handle everything when she has gotten in trouble for this or that… Makes plenty of mistakes, and even overweight by one hundred or more pounds. Her shape is still in tact however. She has an artsy brain and not the housewife type. She keeps clutter in just about every space she encompasses but she knows where everything is. She can cook but does not cook as much as she should. She is a homebody and a little lazy. She prefers to lie down and watch television or listen to music. She likes to eat but she’s not very adventurous with cuisine. She is from a family of down to Earth people. She didn’t grow up with a silver spoon so her expectations are not that extreme. She will live with you in a shoebox if you treat her right. She has a big mouth. She talks to everyone about everything. She is a natural leader, an activist and her mouth gets her in trouble alot. She wants to save the world and have her voice heard. She is ambitious and not at all submissive. She likes to laugh, and have conversations about music. She listens to music that might be considered weird for a black girl. 80’s new wave. Duran, Duran, Thomas Dolby, Depeche Mode… she is also a Hip Hop head. You will catch her spitting Tribe from time to time. She’s a round the way girl. Very blunt, wears bamboo earrings, chews gum. She wears her hair natural and her face natural. Not a prissy chick. At all. She makes lots and lots of mistakes. She just doesn’t like to wallow in them. She prefers to talk about how to rebound from her mistakes. None are done maliciously. She will hustle hard to make good. She may be down for a little time but guarantee it will not last long. Very loyal. Very, very loyal Loyal to a FAULT. She’s been hurt and she is on guard. Protecting her heart. Her loyalty may not be the same. She has an icebox where her heart used to be. Build trust with her. Don’t break trust. She will forgive but never forget. Woman deals with mental illness. Depression, some anxiety and anger issues. She sees a therapist and will get help but don’t piss her off. She is likely to say anything. Her mouth spits poison. Don’t dish it if you can’t take it. She will be unapologetic about it especially if you have previously broken her trust. Again, she will forgive but certainly will never forget. She’s clingy. Likes to cuddle. Loves affection. Loves cats and coffee. Loves to kiss. If you’re too busy to communicate with her don’t bother. Seriously. She is smart, resourceful, and talented. She loves to make beautiful music and fill the room with music. She has a passion for helping others. She falls to sleep when watching movies. She loves sleep. She has a dark sense of humor. She finds humor in things that make others upset. She is an extroverted, introvert. Her perspective will always be different. She’s not status quo. She’s complex. Can you handle that? If not, don’t apply.
