Everything on FLEEK

-->

 

Honestly I have no idea where this word came from but people just started using it. You know when you hear something for the first time and you “act” like you know what it means until you figure it out. For a good month people would use this word and I am like “wtf, does this mean it’s dope, disgusting or something?” When I finally learned what it meant, I told myself I couldn’t use this word. I honestly think it is worse then using thot, only because thot has been used so much its stuck in my head. “On Fleek” means on point from my understanding. Like, “ Your shirt is on fleek” or “Eyebrows on fleek”. Lets give a moment of silence to the English language because we seem to create new words everyday.

Supposedly the word fleek started with some girl on vine talking about her eyebrows on fleek. Now people use this to describe every dam thing. At first it was okay but people use it on a daily basis. It has become extremely annoying, every picture is on fleek, and every meal is on fleek. Literally everything is on fleek. I believe in 5-10 years they might consider it a synonym to the word point “point, on point, fleek, on fleek.” At this rate they might as well because once celebrities start using certain words then it will blow up and everyone will use it. Then people will petition for it to be part of the dictionary. Then our kids will be asked to use the word in a sentence.

“I told the thot that my outfit was on fleek”

“The lunch lady made some taco’s that was on fleek”

“My eyebrows on fleek, just like my sister’s.”

I really think “eyebrows on fleek” is funny as shit though, I laugh everytime a someone says it. We sometimes forget that WE have the power to make something commercial or completely kill it. We are bigger then media and what ever we say they will fight so hard to be against it but will have to fold.  Our biggest weapon is social media and it allows us to express new things and share it with everybody. Rewind to 1990’s when social media was barely existent and the words that where popular during that time.

All that

All That and a bag of chips

Da Bomb

As if

Duh

Homeslice

Just to name a few, they don’t have the power of social media to keep them relevant and in use today. Be aware that the power we have as a collective is bigger then you think, and any word that is created will most likely carry on to future generations.

Ugly Since 1988

You ever start going through old yearbooks and pictures, then notice you wasn’t all that great to look at? Let me tell you how my confidence was on some disrespectfully low levels back in the day.  I hated wearing my glasses just because they where so dam big. My shirts where always tucked into my pants. I really didn’t wear anything name brand. I was definitely rocking Fubu like it was still the hottest thing on the streets (I actually don’t think it was Fubu, probably some Chinese knockoff).  No sense of style and colors, I would just get dressed. I was picked on a lot. I wasn’t good with jokes back then. I was just an ugly kid trying to make it through life.

As an ugly kid trying to make it through life I definitely had a crush on a lot of chicks. They would never give me the time of day at all.  I struggled at spitting game to a girl. “I like your shoes,” I was that weirdo. My soul would be hurt when they told me to go away. If I was a bit more light skin I think I would have released an emotional album like Drake. The thing that hit me the hardest is when I hit puberty and I broke out like crazy, acne everywhere. I really was an ugly dude trying to get by on these streets.  I think the thing that kept me together is the people I surrounded myself with. We just lived life and enjoyed every moment of it.  I feel like once I hit college everything before that didn’t matter at all. College was the place where I defined who I would be for the rest of my life and that’s what I did.

I thank the lord everyday for puberty not lasting that long because my face could not endure any more hardships. My own sense of style finally came in, confidence followed and I could only go up from there. Not saying I am the best thing to look at but I am pretty sure I am okay to take out in public. I am oblivious when females are trying to get my number or kick game to me. “It was nice talking to you, but I am going home now.” I am the most direct person you will ever meet. Don’t worry my confidence level is on Diddy right now and I am still that ugly kid from 1988 but I’ve just matured and stayed humble. I don’t search for validation from people, just from myself. When it comes to that point where you have to search then you already lost. The thing about getting older is that those people that didn’t want you back then always want you now but that’s another story.
