A picture of P made it's way to the Huffington Post as a "Best Dressed Kid", just as the kids fashion era was beginning. Then a couple of pics went viral on Pinterest -- and here we are. We are OG's. I've been doing this social media thing for a long time. Before "influencer" was a word, before VSCO cam existed or accts had aesthetics. Back when @scoutthecity didn't have a blog, back when @niathelight was only 15 years old, back when @taylenbiggs was a baby, back when @foreverandforava used to buy from our clothing resale shop, back when Zara had free shipping always.
I am still finding my place -- our place, in this space. I made my account private for a year + a half, so I never amassed 100k+ followers + don't get the HUGE opportunities that some of my counterparts do, but I'm proud of our journey. Sometimes I cry + ask God if this is the path for me [hustling is exhausting], and sometimes I'm just grateful + count it all joy.
Just wanted to say thank ya'll for the support, for lifting me up like ya'll do, for loving our family so hard. I know many [read: most] of you never comment, but I appreciate you hanging around -- for whatever reason. Thank you. โจ #theprinceandthep](http://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/eb15c5f4603967c7b6a5306ed404b455/5DE9FB0F/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c0.135.1080.1080a/s640x640/66010299_209578266633925_8952369795153740753_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com "๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ.

| You guyyyyyys...My Black is...
![| The other day I stumbled across someone on Instagram I was friends with in early adolescence. We were friends for many years +ย I was soย excited that I'd found her, so I sent her a friend request +ย impatiently waited -- wondering whether or not she was married, if she had [more]ย kids, what she'd been doing the last 20+ years, etc.
All of my curiosity was quickly met with seemingly forgottenย reminders of who she used to be. As a teenager + young woman,ย she had aย psychologically disturbing + malicious mindset, and I recalled the times I felt the bitter sting of her actions. Suddenly, my excitement faded +ย I had to ask myself if this was a friendship that I wanted to invest in rekindling.
People change, right? Circumstances change. And life, time, andย God grows us. But a change that has occured inย me over the years, is how I choose to honor myself + set boundaries for those around me.ย I can't goย into a guardedย friendship where I'll constantly wait +ย wonder ifย she's going to revert back to all I've ever known of her. It's not fair to the woman she is today + what she's been through to get where she is. So 2 hours after my initial excitement, Iย unrequested her. I knowย thatย God opens windows of opportunity that often peek into our past, and peak our curiosity,ย however --ย some doors are better left shut. It's okay to #chooseyourself. โค PC: Baddie P // #theprinceandthepmommy](http://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/630fc368944678715e781d17fe11dcbb/5DCE25AF/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c0.85.677.677a/s640x640/65425740_2252433321459439_1971902088990234223_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com "| The other day I stumbled across someone on Instagram I was friends with in early adolescence.

![| Ya'll, year 10 has been a exploration of fierce independence + my mama heart is struggling to keep up. ๐ฉ MJ asked me recently if he could walk to our neighborhood park [2 streets away] with a couple of his friends. My heart started racing + I told him that I would go with them, but that they could walk ahead of me. Then I asked him, "Do you know why I want to come with you?" He said, "Because you don't trust me?" "No, that's not why. Mommy doesn't trust all the people in the world, and my job as a mom is to keep you safe." Then I half joked about putting him in martial arts. ๐คบ I'm not ready for the solo adventures yet but last week I started letting him boil water in the tea pot on our gas stove + ya girl was sweatin'. ๐
