Damn You Ariel

Damn You Ariel

I’m my own Prince Charming

It all began with the Little Mermaid the Disney version. Girl wants more and a man can give it to her. He was deceived by the sea witch aka the one with a fewer imperfection than you. With the help of her friends they help him realize the bigger butt is a fake. Something like that, Right? The point is I was taught by that story that love has obstacles but good always prevails, or so I thought. It would be much later in my life that I came to know the original Hans Christian Andersen version of the story. Sis was treated like a dog, he marries the next bitch, she must choose to kill him or turn into sea foam. While both good stories, reality is a bit more between the lines or parts of both tales.

Now I was raised on the little mermaid and at the age where I would watch it over and over until I knew every word, every song, and every movement of that movie. So loving with difficulty was my reality along with other underlined issues made for a confused adult. It was normal to get into a relationship where I had to prove myself over and over and the “Sea Witch” would always win. Then I started dealing with those issues and started loving myself. So on this month to get me through the humbug of coupled love. Embracing self-love, my love of music and the process of growing out of childish things.

Growing up is hard but no mistakes just lessons.

My Anti V-Day Playlist:

1. Just like a Pill By Pink

Boy! Do I remember the days when toxic love would make me physically ill or mentally and emotionally drained. I felt like I was slowly turning into sea foam.

2. Love On the Brain By Rihanna

A reminder of the blurred lines between love and lust. We have all been D*** Or P*$$Y whipped .

3. Te Bote – Remix song By Nio Garcia

Baby! When I realized how good it felt to end it with someone who was unhealthy for me. I felt so liberated and realized I was hurting myself more and missing out on different or better relationships.

4. Let me love you by Mario

I love this song because maybe it was about replacing the one with another. Yes it can be another person but I love interpreting music in my own way. I sing this to myself because I deserve good things and can’t nobody love you better than you. Treat Yourself don’t cheat yourself Boo!

5. It’s my Life by Bon Jovi

Embracing your unique and true you it is the best feeling ever. Live your best life. Be the truest and freest form of you.

6. Girls need Love by Summer Walker

Don’t deprive yourself of Love because you were hurt and don’t just fall head offer heals pooh. Times have changed. Live in the moment enjoy the company you are in and if it’s for you it’s for you.

7. Shake it off Taylor Swift

Yes Taylor Swift! Let's be real haters are going to hate but Shake it off. Like the family member that reminds you that you are single and on a procreating timeline or the friend who is in love every week and wants to drain you with how great he or she is.

8. Bootylicious By-Destiny’s Child

First of all it is up beat and a feel good song. Ain’t nothing wrong with feeling yourself. You are the ish!

9. How Deep Is Your Love by Calvin Harris and Disciples

Move your body measure how deep is your love of self. Release that positive energy with affirmation and a body roll. Yass saw you jiggle jiggle baby!

10. One Love by Bob Marley

Love holds many definitions as a verb it means like very much or find pleasure in. A romantic attachment isn’t the only meaning. Doesn’t mean you can’t have it, but it should not be your end all be all. We were created to share it. Spread the love! Help a stranger, dinner with family and friend or just love on yourself. Love is Love
