Being Mary Jane : I am Mary Jane

A few Mondays ago i had a movie night with my girls.
Well , it inevitably turned into a "Tianna , you're bitter " type situation.
We had saw commercials for the new BET series Being Mary Jane...
My friend said Tia said " We are ALL Mary Jane".
I kind of gave her the side eye BUT
After watching what there is of the series...
I have realized that...
I am Mary Jane....
I am Mary Jane in the aspect that...
I neglect myself.
Always striving to make sure everyone's ok.
Always striving to perfect my career .
So consumed that i put my emotional health on the back burner.

I think many of my readers will agree that it is easy to put your emotional health second to everyone else's.
You cry with your friends.
Get angry with them.
And at the end of the day you're left to gather your feelings.
But you stop tell your self that , there are other things you should be focused on.

For me whenever i started to actually feel some sort of emotional response to my stressful situations....
Id throw myself into my school work...
or my job..

the funny thing is i started my blog to deter me from dealing with my feelings...
I guess the point is ...
we are all Mary Jane in some way..
whether you are a
1.black journalist
2.loving daughter who avoids her mother
3.great bestfriend
4.lost unlucky lover
5.workaholic
6.lost soul
In the words of my dear friend/photographer Tia Ming "we are ALL Mary Jane"
