tales from tatum

Today was one of the weirder ones. So for starters, I was just doing my thang in Yoga class. After I dressed out into my workout clothes, I used the bathroom in the girls locker room. And then sure enough, I get freaking locked in there for a solid ten minutes. I guess the lock in the stall got jammed or something, so I was just stuck in there. And heaven forbid I wasn't going to crawl underneath because who knows what kind of diseases those nasty floors carry. So I stood up on the toilet and peered over all the stalls and no one was there. I was shouting things like "HELLO??" and "PLEASE HELP!" Oh and I forgot to mention that most of the lights were off. But finally some girls came and put me out of my misery by ramming the door open. And then for the rest of the hour my Yoga teacher gave me brief summary of each of her ex-boyfriends. Don't even ask why. Because I don't know.

After school I dropped my little brother at his friends' house and then on the way back I stopped at the side of the road to buy the cutest little heart shaped lollipops from some kids. Then I went to Joe's Farm Grill all by myself. And not even to get something. Just to sit there because I do what I want.

To top off my eventful day, I was backing out of my driveway to buy MORE heart shaped lollipops when I didn't even realize that I ran over my mom's sacred rose bush. I'm actually really embarrassed. But luckily she didn't cut me up into little bits and pieces and make sushi out of me. Instead she just laughed and picked up one of the broken-off flowers and said, "Hey Tatum since no one else is giving you a rose for Valentine's Day, I've got you covered!"

Here's the location of the crime scene. I'm guilty as charged.

"Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people, the ones who really belong in your life, will come to you and stay." -Will Smith

I once opened up a Dove chocolate and on the inside of the rapper it had the words 'You are exactly where you are supposed to be' printed on it. It may seem vague, but it's a daily reminder that we are on the right path, and if people don't choose to come on our journey with us eventually it'll work out for the better.

Also it's their loss. Peace out sucka. Good riddance.

Adios.
