"Bitches Be Trippin"

You know what I mean!  Side eye.  Sometimes bitches be trippin’ over the most absurd things. Rarely against innocent bystanders but towards friends: road dogs, ace boon coons (for those still familiar with the expression)!  How dare she trip in my presence.  I’ve been down since 08, Golden Girls status, doesn’t that count for anything?  If my eyes and closet haven’t deceived me, I’ve been a celestial saint to this woman, yet she still trips.  Another side eye?

Girrll, believe it!  Not only is she erratically trippin’ at you but (this might sting), your behavior may have ignited her ‘trippage’ despite your biased efforts to do the contrary.

    

Over time you may tend to notice your patience wearing thin along with your relationships?  When things take that tragic turn with a bff – and they will – instead of sticking it out, our patience persuades us to opt for the side eye and chuck up the invaluable “deuces”!  At the time, ditching feels like the more viable option as opposed to laboring through a conversation with someone who's already irked our nerves to no end. That would require acknowledging our own faults and we're soo good with that! Being made aware of our discrepancies is just downright ruthless, not to mention uncomfortable.  But what if our reasoning was off?  What if friends were our mirrors, positioned in our lives to give us a friendly nudge and reminder that we, indeed, are the trippers! 

What do I mean by all this?  Well, say Mary Sue is fussing with Jane Doe about an issue that Jane Doe has continued to repeat in various situations.  What Mary Sue sees is a rather unflattering reoccurring issue with her friend, so in response, she reacts. Over the meadow and through the woods of Jane Doe’s reasoning she’s stewing over the fact that Mary Sue is constantly trippin’ – hints the title – in doing so she misinterprets the fact that the universe has positioned Mary Sue in her vicinity to make her aware of her own character traits.  Don’t take my word for it, try this at home! I’m sure you have a friend or two that have caused you to consider violence, (in the most nonviolent way)!

Anyways, afterwards we usually diss’ Mary Sue, find replacements and re-live the performance all over again!  Here’s another option, try listening to him/her.  Hear what they have to say.  “Mary Sue” isn’t there to hurt you (at least not on purpose), but to help build you up!  Some people are simply there to show you, you.  Let them.  The closer we get to realizing that and effectively communicating correction to one another the less injury we’ll have towards words and the farther away we’ll hopefully be from trippin’!  

Alritey, ya’ll know the lingo, tell a frenemy!  Meow.
