Newark

I love Newark so much. I don't go to Newark often, but when I do go I always enjoy myself. Yesterday I went to Newark to get my hair braided. I've been going to Newark to get my hair braided at the same shop for years now because they wash my hair soo good. Now that I apply the chebe powder to my hair, it is harder to get my hair clean. But at that shop, they scrub and massage my hair so good. I felt like I was in heaven yesterday. When I first moved out of my mom's house, I was renting a 2 bedroom house on my own in East Point. I'd always have company over my house. When I moved to NJ, I lived out of a suitcase for a year as I chased my dream of becoming a model. During COVID, I settled down in an apartment in Jersey. When I moved, it was during the worst of COVID. So, naturally, I didn't have any company and it's been that way for awhile. All of my friends are back home. I do have friends in Jersey/New York, but I just don't have company that often. With that context, imagine how I felt being surrounded by women and children from Africa while we watched Maurice Sam TV. I sat in between their legs and listened to them laugh and speak in French while the little babies ran around. I was so happy. I wanted to live more.
