So that's what I do right now.
I was doing it before yeah,full time.
Was doing it before.
I also pick up work from home,jobs here and there as well, but

(02:46):

Like what I gotta do.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
And what's your personal day to day looking like
?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
It depends.
Are you single?
I am, I'm single.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Are you dating?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Hmm, I don't know, dating would be the word.
Oh yeah, I guess.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
So what if dating is not the word?
What would be the more accurateword for what you're doing?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I'm testing the waters.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Kind of just.
You know, I feel like withdating you are specifically
going on dates regularly.
You know I'm not going on datesregularly.
I'm, you know, I talk to peoplehere and there, like I'm
building bonds with people, butI'm not like dating, like going

(04:14):
on dates.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
It's not Lincoln or Giz.
Yeah, I know, okay, okay, whynot?
What's holding you back?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I just never really been one of those Like.
I feel like in this day and age, dating for a lot of them is
come link me, come to my house,and I'm not a pull up type of
bitch, I'm just not one of them.
So it's like if I was gettingmore offers to go on actual

(04:48):
dates then I would, but I alsojust have a lot going on myself.
So, I'm just taking it easy, youknow, taking it day by day.
When it comes to that, I'm not,I'm not pressed when it comes
to that.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Okay, so what are you looking for in a man?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Like if I wanted to be in a relationship ideally um,
someone who's honest, someonewho's driven, who has his own
stuff going on.
Um, and let me just clarify I'mbisexual, so it's not only men,
okay, um, but someone who hastheir own stuff going on, has

(05:33):
their head on their shoulders.
Someone who's funny, Um.
Someone who's educated, who canstimulate me mentally Um, not
going to act like I'm notshallow.
Someone who looks good?
Um, someone who I feel like I'mon the same page with, who I

(05:55):
can depend on.
Um Someone reliable.
Exactly Reliable.
Definitely someone reliable.
That's a must for me.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Okay, um, so what type of men are you typically
into?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
What type?
What do you mean by type?
Are we talking looks?
Are we talking jobs?

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Are we talking we're talking all of that.
We're talking looks.
We're talking jobs.
We're talking age preference,yeah.
Ethnicity preference Okay, allof your preferences, what?
What's the ideal man for you?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Okay, miss Pink, if you're nasty, right.
Um, I would say, well, I loveblack men, that's just.
I see myself ending up with ablack man, okay.
Um, ethnicity, I don't reallynecessarily have a preference.
Um, I can enjoy when someone isalso Caribbean and they get my

(06:57):
culture.
But also Caribbean men arecrazy, so it's not like a deal
breaker for me.
Um, I would date outside of myrace too If they got it like
that, you know.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Um, so do you see yourself fucking with a white
boy?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
I would, you could.
It just has to be a specialkind of white boy, okay.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
I could jack that.
Yeah, I could jack that, Icould jack that, what else?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Um, I was going somewhere with that and I can't
remember what else to say yeah,try to retrieve it, try to
recover it.
Yeah, looks wise.
I would prefer a black man, butit's not a must.
Um, my type.
I really love locks.

(07:51):
Love a man with locks.
Okay, um, again, someone who Icould laugh with.
Someone who's fun Um, I'm intothat.
Someone who has their own stuffgoing on.
Like I said, I'm, I'm like,really I'm not a clingy type of

(08:13):
person.
Um, so I like when the personthat I'm dating or talking to
has their own life.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
So they're not just up under me all the time.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
You like a strong sense of independence.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Definitely and someone who, um, who trusts me
as well, to like because I feellike with some guys like the
trust issues can be a bit muchLike.
I'm the type of person I needmy freedom, so you have to trust
me to be able to continueliving my life the way that I

(08:49):
was before you, just with you init.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, you know that's fine.
So if you're dealing with oneindividual man, does that stop
you from being friends withother men dealing with?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
what is dealing with me Like are we talking?
Are we dating?
Uh, are we committed?
Y'all are fucking Okay, Umwhatever comes with that.
Um, so that's givingsituationship vibes.
Um, if we're just fucking, I'mtalking to other people I'm.

(09:28):
I mean, that's probably theonly person, not probably that's
the only person I'm fucking,but like I'm talking to other
people, seeing what else?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
is out there Seeing what else is available.
If there's a better situationavailable for you, right, and if
a better situation presentsitself, is that something that
you would hop on?
Um because there's alwaysbetter.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Of course there's always better I.
It really just depends on thetype of the person.
It depends on, like, the bondthat we have.
I feel like, yeah, I'm someoneelse's better that wants to take
me out and do this, and thatthat's cool and everything.
But if I feel like I'm like wehave a bond, like for me

(10:19):
friendship is a big thing.
So if I feel like we're likefriends beyond the fucking, you
know what I mean and I can counton you.
I wouldn't be on no grimy shitwhen it comes to just like all
right, like found better next,you know.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
So it depends.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Okay, and none of that is currently where you're
at right now.
Yeah, you're just isolated.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Isolated.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Phone is dry.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, phone's not dry necessarily, but the Gucci's
dry, like it's been over a year.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
so it's been over a year since you got some dick
yeah 495 days.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
You just checked Just in case anybody wanted to know,
Just in case that wasn'timportant.
I mean, who's counting?
But yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Why has it been so long?
What is you could claimcelibacy at this point.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
It would be abstinence.
People love to use celibacy,but I'm not waiting till
marriage.
If somebody comes around andthey're making me feel some type
of way, I would break myabstinence.
Why, though, my last situationship scarred me?

Speaker 3 (11:38):
How so the lavary talk to me.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
He was just a sneaky ass scorpio.
That's all I could give you.
It was messy.
Now, do I prefer situationships?
No, will I find myself in onefrom time to time?
Yes, but with me, honesty iskey, especially if we're not

(12:14):
exclusive.
Just be honest with me.
We ain't got nothing to belying about, you know, because
I'm going to be honest with thatperson that I'm tied into and
tangled with, if you will.
So if it's coming out thatyou're lying and I'm having to

(12:36):
find certain things out incertain ways, and it's just, I
don't like the messy shit.
I hate messy shit.
I'm very introverted, I'm veryto myself.
So it's like, if I let you inmy world, there are parameters.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Okay, and he violated those parameters, sure did.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Over and over actually.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Okay, and that has led to you being abstinent.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, so before him I was in a relationship I would
say my first real adultrelationship.
We were living together.
That lasted like almost a year.
Before that guy I was abstinentfor three years, so it's kind
of a thing for me.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
So you're just not a freak.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Only for the right one.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
So you never had a threesome.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
No, but I want to.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
When you say you want to have a threesome, what type
of threesome do you want to have?
Do you want to have a threesomewith two other females, another
female and a male, or two othermales, or?
Would you like to experimentand try all of them.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I feel like girls is what is calling me.
When it comes to the threesometype thing, I would have fun
with two other girls, I think.
Would I do it with a guy and agirl?
Yeah, probably Just got to bein the right environment, the
right circumstances, the rightpeople.

(14:15):
So, yeah, I like, it's not like.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
You wouldn't try with two guys.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
I feel like that would be a bit much for me
personally.
Why?

Speaker 3 (14:28):
It would be the center of attention.
It would be all about you twoniggas that you'd have a desire
for.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
But you know one thing I'm going to say guys,
don't be down for shit like that.
Yes, they do A lot of the time,not the ones that I be around
anyway.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
They certainly do.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
They don't be down for shit like that.
When it comes to I don't knowat least I haven't met many- so
let's say, you met two guys.
And they're down for it.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
And they were both intriguing to you on separate
accounts.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
You presented the idea to them and they both were
fit.
Would that be something youcould move forward with?
Have you ever been in asituation where you was fucking
two niggas at once?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Never.
No, I'm just not one of those.
If I'm fucking you, I'm fuckingyou, just you, and that's
whether it's a guy, girl doesn'tmatter, like I just.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
So you never cheated.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
No, never.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
You hesitated.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Never.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Okay so not once.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Should I have Probably a couple of times, but
no, never.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
That's interesting.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Why.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
People typically lie to me when I ask them that
question, not saying that youare right now, but just because
of the platform we're on and Ihaven't really met someone that
was like, yeah, I've cheatedReally.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, people typically lie about that because
they want to protect theirimage, you know, and that is
interesting, though, because Ifeel like these days, like,
cheating is such a normalizedthing, so it's like have you
done it before?
Like fuck it, you've done itbefore.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
But you know, people can of course, like you said,
want to protect their image.
But yeah, I've never cheated,never.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Okay, so have you ever been cheated on?

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
And you were aware.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I kind of find out everything, so yeah, and you
stayed.
Yes.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
And you were able to stay without retaliating,
knowing that he was just outthere fucking another bitch or
she was just out there doingwhatever.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I'm sorry that's me.
No, you're good, I'm.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
.
See, when it comes to like thegetting your lick back type of
thing, that's cool and all, butI don't do it with my kuchi Like
, I just don't.
That's not the first thing I do, like if I find out you're
cheating on me.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
You suck a nigga dick .

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Not even like I mean.
Again, I told you I don't linkwith niggas like.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
So that's what I'm saying.
Like if you're getting the timeof day, when it comes to me,
it's a big deal and I'm notgonna put myself through the
stress of trying to find anothernigga.
See if he's worth even wantingto fuck, then if I fuck him and
it's not even good, then I'mgonna be like, damn well, that
was pointless.
You know what I mean.

(18:08):
So for me, like when it comesto getting my lick back, it's
okay, you stepped out, so I'mgonna talk to other people Now
how that works, becauseeventually, every time I'm gonna
leave, like once you cheat onme, you break my trust.

(18:29):
My thing is, I'm really loyal,so I'm gonna keep trying with
you.
How?

Speaker 3 (18:33):
do you be finding out you be going through niggas'?

Speaker 2 (18:37):
phones.
I found out.
So the dude that I was livingwith, we had taken some cute
pictures, whatever, some spicypictures, you know and he was
asleep and I went to set thatpicture as his lock screen and
found out he was cheating.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
So you violated his trust.
You went through his phoneunauthorized.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Technically, I wasn't looking for it, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
So how did you find it?

Speaker 2 (19:05):
How did I find it?
It was there Like I had to sendthe pictures from my phone to
his phone, and so when I wentinto the messages to get the
pictures, I was seeing certainthings that I really didn't want
to see.
So yeah, technically I was inhis business.
Definitely I invaded hisprivacy.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Whatever Do you let your niggas go to your phone.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, I ain't got nothing to hide.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Okay, I have my passcode.
I ain't got nothing to hide.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
So if you're cheating , then of course you're going to
.
Still, you could go through myphone, but you're going to see
something you don't like.
That's up to you, though.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
You know, Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
In other situations I even with this.
I should have already knownthat this guy was cheating,
because he gave me Chromydiathat was the one and only STD
I've ever had in my life and Iswore I was going to kill him.
I swore I was going to kill himbut for some reason I stayed so

(20:07):
and then on top of it I foundthe stuff in his phone and after
that it was it was wraps.
But yeah, damn, yeah, I don'tcheat back.
I can't, I can't lose the coolcheating.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
So he burned, you Sure did.
And uh, what was it likeaddressing him when you found
out you got burned.
How did you find out you gotburned?

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Um, I get checked regularly, so that's how I found
out, and it's funny because hehad said something to me that
made me think about my body, andsomething was you know What'd
he say he had said somethingafter you know we.

(20:56):
What was it that he said?
I think we had, we had justfinished having sex and he was
like oh, like one of the thingsthat I like is that I can smell
when you're turned on, and sothat was a like a light bulb
went off in my head because I'mlike my shit usually smells like
water, like there is no smell,like.

(21:17):
So so if there's a smell and Ithink that's exactly what I said
to him, like okay, I'm going togo get checked out and he
started getting a bit defensive.
So I should have realized rightthere, like oh, no, you are
doing something you're notsupposed to do.
But I didn't.
How did I go about addressinghim?
I had to call him because hedecided he didn't want to come

(21:39):
home that night for whateverreason, and I said it to him
over FaceTime and he didn'treally have much to say because
he knew he knew what he did, andhim not having anything to say
pissed me off even more, so Iblocked him.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
And that was it that was that.
But he lived with you, so hecame home Eventually.
And how did that?

Speaker 1 (22:05):
play out.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
We had to have a talk about it.
He said that he wasn't lying tome when he said that the Last
time he had sex was the monthbefore we started dating and you
know, with Chlamydia a lot ofguys don't even know they have
it, which is true Like he wasn'thaving any symptoms, nothing,

(22:29):
and he had a false negative testwhen he got tested.
So that's basically whathappened and he got it taken
care of and that was that.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, that's crazy.
There's also.
There's another in StatenIsland right now KK and I just
got some reports of him giving abitch gonorrhea.
Jesus and someone else reportedto me in 2020 that he gave them

(23:05):
Chlamydia too.
So if you're dealing with KK,if you're dealing with Kent and
Smith, I absolutely advise youto get tested and stop fucking
that nigga raw, because I havemultiple reports of him out
there burning bitches.
So, kent and Smith, and someguys.

(23:27):
You're a bad boy, kent and Smith.
Bad boy naughty.
Yeah, you're a bad boy, kentand Smith.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Some of them do that on purpose, though, like there's
a lot of guys that find outthey have something incurable
and they so mad they just wantto give it to everybody that
they can.
I be seeing that all the time.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, it's more of a selfish thing.
You know he still wants to fuckbitches and things like that.
You know he got a whole bitchat home Still out there fucking
bitches, raw at that Like that'ssickening, that's absolutely
sickening, to say the least.
Yeah, but um, so you havesickle cell.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
I do.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Talk to me about what it's like having sickle cell
and some of the symptoms thatyou face, some of the struggles,
your ups and downs, and justgive me a summary of what it's
like living with sickle cell.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay.
So sickle cell is a blooddisorder.
It primarily only affects blackpeople, hispanic people and
basically your red cells looklike donuts.
They bring your oxygenthroughout your whole body.
Mine look like bananas, so theyget stuck.

(24:49):
So the number one symptom ispain, pain, crises.
On top of that, I also dealwith things like fatigue, being
exhausted.
I've had lung issues because,again, it deals with your blood.
So there are times where I getreally sick.

(25:09):
Pneumonia is fatal for peoplewith sickle cell sometimes.
So there are times where I'mjust not getting enough oxygen
and I personally I deal withacute chest.
I have multiple times.
The last time I had it I wasactually in a coma.
I was on a ventilator on lifesupport.

(25:30):
So it's really hard.
It's hard to deal with sicklecell.
Definitely, I just have to goabout life a little bit
differently than most people.
I have more things to thinkabout, to take into account.

(25:51):
You know I'm hospitalizedpretty frequently, which is
tough because it makes it hardfor me to hold a job or be able
to make sure I'm on my P's andQ's when I was in school, things

(26:11):
like that, what else?
So I am the only of my siblingsto have sickle cell disease.
I had an aunt who also had itfrom my dad's side.
She recently just passed, atthe end of 2022.

(26:33):
And you know, I just take itday by day.
I'm just rolling with thepunches.
That's all I can really do withbeing chronically ill.
But it is an invisible diseaseso it makes it really hard to
get help from hospitals becauseyou know doctors come in and

(26:57):
look at you and be like youdon't look like you're in pain,
you are an addict, you'relooking for meds and it's like
actually, my drug of choicewould be me at home smoking a
blunt right now.
Obviously, that's not working.
So that's why I'm here.
We face a lot of racialdiscrimination in hospitals.

(27:17):
Speaking for myself and otherpeople with sickle cell, I know
a lot of people with sickle cell, so it could be tough.
Definitely it's an interestinglife.
That's all I can say.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, I'm sure it is.
I'm sure it is.
So discrimination is somethingthat you face a lot here in
Connecticut, at the hospital,definitely, and it's because
you're seeking medication.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
It's because I'm black and in pain, pretty much
like just in general as a blackperson, your pain is villainized
when you're in hospitals, youknow for sure.
So, especially if it's like alittle black girl who's coming

(28:07):
in saying you're in so much painand you take really high doses
of pain medicine and you knowyou're saying it's not working,
I guess it raises red flags.
I don't know what the issue is,but it can be tough.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, I'm sure it can .
Have you ever been hospitalizedin New York?

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Never.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Only in Connecticut.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Connecticut, Atlanta, Florida.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
And how was it in Atlanta versus Connecticut?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Atlanta was interesting because the hospital
that I went to was like atrauma center so their thing was
like they were really good withlike gunshot wounds and stuff
like that.
They did have a sickle cellclinic but it wasn't the best.
That whole experience wastraumatizing and just a lot.

(29:09):
So I went to school in Atlantaso when I got sick down there I
already had what we call likepain passport.
It was basically all the thingsthat worked for me with my
doctors up here.
All the surgeries I've beenthrough like anything they would
have needed to know was inthere.

(29:30):
So I brought that to the sicklecell clinic there and the first
thing they did was give me thewrong pain medicine.
So my first five days inpatientin Atlanta I hallucinated.
I don't remember anything.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah, it was very scary and they were, I don't
know.
Atlanta in general is just abit slower.
You know it's the South likethey're just not as quick with
things as we are up here.
Florida was interesting becauseFlorida already has a major

(30:09):
drug problem, especially opioids.
So when it came to like gettingmy pain medication that I
needed, most of the time nopharmacies had it because they
didn't like holding it therebecause of the drug problem that
they had.
So it was different everywhere.
I would say Connecticut is thebest, which is why I ended up

(30:31):
coming back home, because I feltlike I just needed to be
somewhere.
Like I said, I've been in acoma, I've been on a ventilator,
so I just needed to know thatif I was to get super sick right
now, doctors would know what todo.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
And they wouldn't be giving you the wrong drugs and
shit like that.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
You would actually have access to the medication
you need Exactly.
Yeah, no, I feel you 100%.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
I feel you for sure.
So does sickle cell tie intoyour dating?
Of course, how so?

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Well, that's one of the things, like I told you, I
need someone who's dependable,like that's why, like I, it
could be a lot to do with.
And I feel like I've datedpeople.
You know what I will say iswomen have been a lot more
empathetic and passionateExactly when it, when it comes

(31:33):
to that.
But with guys like I've datedpeople that are, oh, I can
handle it, like you don't haveto worry about it, you act like
I don't know how to treat a girland it's like, no, I'm
explaining that me having sicklecell comes with a lot.
And it's like they say, they,they got it until we're eight

(31:54):
months in and I'm sick every day, and they're like, damn, you're
still sick, you're still in thebed, like, yeah, I'm
chronically ill.
That that's kind of what comeswith it.
Like I have my days, butespecially like during this
season, the winter season, it'sreally really hard for me.
So it's it's definitely it's abig part of like trying to date

(32:20):
is trying to find someone whocan really handle it the way
that they say they can, and whocan really, who I can really
depend on, and I think that ispart of the reason why I stayed
with the dude who cheated on meBecause he, his mother, was sick
but and before she died he tookcare of her.

(32:42):
So he was very attentive to mewhen it came to my sickle cell
and every doctor's appointmenthe was bringing me, making sure
I'm taking my meds, making sureI'm drinking my water, like even
down to the little things, likewe would have a ritual, like
when we take a shower he wouldrub my whole body down to make

(33:04):
sure I'm, you know, like good.
Like he was very attentive.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
And nurturing Exactly .
Yeah, that's what's up.
Well, this sucks that it had toend that way.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah, she happens.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah, so um dating in 2024,.
What are you, what are youexpecting, what are you looking
for?
I'm not you just want to.
I'm not looking to continuethat 495 day run.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
I really don't, but it's like I'm just vibing, like
if somebody comes along who'sactually worth it, then they
come along.
If not, I'm good on my own.
Like I'm just vibing, I'm justtaking it day by day.
That's literally all I can do.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Okay, I can jack that , I can get the shit.
Dms looking like real weird.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Talk to me they could be real weird.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
Like talk to me please.
What's, what's, what's weird?

Speaker 2 (34:06):
especially on Facebook.
It's like I don't know if it'slike something that I'm posting,
certain things that I'm saying,but I think niggas have an
issue with assuming that everygirl is a 304.
Like a prostitute.
Like, I am not someone who'simpressed by money, so it's like

(34:32):
I have a lot of dudes in my DMslike, oh, like, let me pay your
bills.
Okay, here's the cash app.
Oh, but it's transactional.
Why do you think that?
Do I give 304?
Like, why did you think thatwas going to be a thing?
So there's a lot of that and alot of young dudes.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Are you into young dudes?

Speaker 2 (35:02):
No.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
You like older guys?

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yes, need an older guy.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
How much older do you like them?

Speaker 2 (35:10):
My age is already pushing it, so I would prefer
maybe like 28 and up.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Okay, okay, that's reasonable.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, so yeah.
The Instagram it's a lot ofjust young dudes just sending me
emojis.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Hard eyes and shit.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah, or just like the little eyes like hey, like
what's going on, but nothingintriguing at all and my best
friend wants me to have a man sobad.
So she signed me up for hingeand that's a whole other thing.
It's interesting to see theleast.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
I had hinge too.
Yeah, all of those, thosedating sites be you meet weird
people in there, very weird.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
And most of them just want to fuck.
That's it.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
It's not a place to find love you could potentially
People could.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
There's some genuine intentions there, but I just
think you meet so many weirdpeople that it's like it's so
watered down.
It's rare that you actuallyfind what you're genuinely
looking for.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Yeah, yeah, and I'm just a hard person to get in
touch with.
In general, like I said, I'm anintrovert, like I'm in my own
little world, like you got to bereal interesting to catch my
attention, enough for me to evenwant to talk to you, enough to

(36:52):
know you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
For sure.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Yeah, I'm just weird like that, so I don't give
niggas time a day, mostly time,that's why, I'm at 4.95 right
now.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
What kind of DM would be like, okay, I could fuck
with that, let me see what thisguy's about.
Let me actually go to hisprofile and see what's up.
What would it take to get thattype of response from you?

Speaker 2 (37:25):
I don't know.
Like I said, I don't reallylike link dudes, but it's like
if a dude wants to hit me up andbe like I want to take you here
and I want to go at this timeand I want you to and has a plan
, I might be into that.

(37:46):
Also, I'm aware of the query.
Is so like you got to spark mymind, like spark my interest,
talk about something interestingthat would make me pay
attention to you.
Something interesting,something entertaining.
I just don't do small talk verywell, that's my issue.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Yeah, you, straight to the point.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, I'm not interested in the small talk too
much.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
You still have your tongue ring.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
No, I took it.
I just recently took it out.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
How come?

Speaker 2 (38:22):
I was having, like what is what are those things
called?
Like ulcers on my tongue,because I was spiking a fever
for a while so I just took itout.
But I want to get anotherpiercing, not the same tongue
ring, but what is it called?
Like the fall guys, the onesthat go across.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Snake eyes.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, no, snake is at the tip, all guys are is like
the same exact thing as thetongue ring, but sideways.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Yeah, but I don't have it right now.
What?

Speaker 3 (38:55):
was how long did you have a tongue ring?

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Two years, maybe three.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
So you had it before the 495 streak.
For sure yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
I was in a relationship.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
So you got it for a second dick.
I think you're the first girlthat said that honestly.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, I well, you know, initially it was just like
it's cute, I like I'm a personwho likes Piercings tattoos.
I'm just in all that and I amwilling to try anything like.
I've had my nipples pierced, soit's like yeah so he wanted you
to get a tongue ring.
No, they drew on my own and.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Then you went to work .

Speaker 2 (39:56):
You could say that, I guess.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
How was it?
Did you enjoy using the tonguering?

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, I would say him specifically.
He didn't really get to reapthe benefits because I was like
at the end of our relationshipbut my situation ship.
He, yeah, definitely I.
I enjoyed it, he enjoyed itOkay.

more about your situation.
Ship.
I See, when I asked you thatyou had, like you, stuck in a
little trans, I could tell you,is you ain't shit?
Oh, so I could tell you wasthinking about Probably 495 days

(41:28):
ago.
Is that what just happened?

Speaker 2 (41:32):
So here's the thing and I don't want to say it cuz
then you know what, whatever I'mjust saying that man was truly
my best eater, like my best.
So it's like anytime he'sbrought up of course I'm gonna
be in a little trans thinkingabout it.
Wow, like Amazing, better thana girl, like crazy.

(41:56):
But you know, we Butted heads alot like we had a lot of issues
like we both had Really badtrust issues, really bad
abandonment issues.
Both of us and I knew him forso long.
I met him when we were 14 yearsold and he randomly sent me a

(42:23):
Facebook message and request andthen message me and was like,
do you remember me?
And I was like, should I?
Like I had no idea who he isand that's how we ended up
rekindling whatever.
But we definitely had like alot of issues and, like I said,
those 495 days has been hard.

(42:43):
I've been going through it.
You know like it's been toughand I definitely tried to hit
him up and get my eater back andit didn't work.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
So why didn't it work ?
Or he dubbed you, oh, so he'sreally dumb with you.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
He's sick like that, something like that sick of your
shit.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
What did you do?

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Why I left him, so he feels some type of way about
that yeah, but usually niggascome back like right, right.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
So when I go put, his foot down and he like oh no,
I'm not fucking with this bitch.
Then you had to do something.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
You know me no so I left him and you know I tried to
see where he was at like and hewas like again we were arguing,
because conversation couldnever just go smoothly with us
too and you know he was saying IWas trying to do this with you,
like I really wanted you da, da, da, da.

(43:40):
And I was like you wanted likepast tense, like so it's
different.
Now no response.
So I'm like, hmm, I Never hadhim.
Just leave me on red type shit,like that's crazy.
And then maybe a week later Isee him Post Christmas pictures

(44:02):
with his girl.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
So yeah, that's what I was about to say.
He had already moved on in arelationship.
Yeah, got something going forhimself.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Yeah, he could have just said that, though.
That would have been cool, buthe didn't want to, so he
probably wanted both.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
You know he probably wanted you on the side.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
I exactly.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
He couldn't decide so if he wanted to have a
situation, ship with you.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
You know it's not that type, Couldn't be.
I'm too much to deal with likeI'm a lot to deal with on my own
.
You can't handle to.
I Know for a fact you can't.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
But what if it's just having you on the side, like he
still got his main and you'rejust Something on the side that
y'all do, which I'll do wheny'all do it?
Would you be, would you be ableto accept that you got to keep
your mouth closed?

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Well, I'm already, I don't be doing a lot of the
talking, you get your best eaterback.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
It's, it's really.
It don't got nothing to do withthat, it's just like for you to
eat me, like that I'm gonna getattached to you.
Yeah, that's what it is Like.
So I could say like, yeah, I'mcool, like I don't care what
you're doing over there, butOnce I hit that phone and I'm
waiting for you to come throughand you can't cuz, you got this

(45:20):
going on with her.
Now it's an issue.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
To be honest, no, I feel you.
I don't think I could handlethat.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
So you've never been a side chick before.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Not knowingly, yeah, not knowingly.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Okay so, with some plans you got for 2024, but what
was some you got coming up thisyear or some you want to work
towards some goals you got.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
I would say my biggest plan is to Get myself
out of my shell and startnetworking again which this was
like a big part of that becauseI'm just so shy and in my own
world and my world is wristbandonly and I'm trying to open that
up a little bit you know yeahbecause you never know like I

(46:14):
Gotta be more open-minded whenit comes to things.
I'm just real apprehensive withstrangers like super what you
should be, you know right.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
You definitely should be apprehensive when it comes
to strangers.
And Uh, Everything thatglitters ain't cold of course.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
But being apprehensive, being being
cautious Doesn't mean don't putyourself out there at all.
Yeah, that's my issue, yeahright, I'm so cautious and so,
and you know I struggle withanxiety and I struggle with
mental health stuff too.
So it's like I'm so overly likeprotective of myself.

(46:58):
That is like I'm not doingnothing and I feel like I miss
having my social life, I missDoing certain things, trying new
things.
So that's my main goal is likePut myself out there a little
bit more, be more open, try somenew things.
Um, I want to make more moneythis year.

(47:20):
I have a lip gloss line.
It's called Miss PaintCosmetics.
I really want to expand thatthis year.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Okay, that's what's up.
You got an swear for it.
Mm-hmm, what's this Miss?

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Paint Cosmetics on Instagram and Try to, you know,
focusing on that more.
I've had to take like a bigbreak from it just because I was
dealing with so much healthstuff.
So, yeah, I feel like those aremy goals and getting more
active this year as well.
