YouTube Description:
To fam and friends that know me personally. I do curse, like a sailor in this video. If you don’t like this don’t watch. I hold nothing back & you will either love my bluntness or hate it.
REQUESTED: People are still interested in this shit a year later. Seriously thanks for watching the 1st videos. I did not think people would reach out to me, ask for a follow up & all that jazz. Since I’m in several friend groups on Facebook that asked about making friends as an adult, I answered those questions & used my experiences in Alpha Phi Omega as an example. This shows me to always share your story, you never know what could happen out of it. I've gotten interview offers off this, haven't decided if I'm going to take them up on their offer one day or not.
Part 1: 0:26.53-.44.16, give or take (Original Video Here: https://youtu.be/484BxZZHdJo)
Part 2: 26:44-44:02 (Original Video Here: https://youtu.be/8UYCZNymplM)
Part 3 : 44:02- MOST PEOPLE SHOULD START HERE. This video is already long enough. Lmfao.
45:07: IS IT HARDER TO MAKE FRIENDS THE OLDER YOU GET?
46:11-53:45: Why I still think most of my beloved APO bros who posted the black box pretending to be on the team don’t give two f*****. My blunt stance. Why I will never re-join Alpha Phi Omega. (Some people say never say never, but y’all don’t know how stubborn I am. I have joined other orgs as an adult. I understand that everyone won’t be close to everyone & you can’t completely avoid cliques. I’ve felt more appreciated, welcomed and more like home elsewhere. I don’t care for awards and recognition, just really looking for an opportunity to trust a group outside my close friend circle fully and deeply again, and I haven’t felt this way in a long time. My close friends are expecting/have kids and don’t always have the time for me, so as a singleton, I gotta get my neck back out there, you know what I mean?)
Just because you got it going on doesn't mean you have to be a doormat for anyone. Nor should people make you feel bad for the success you are experiencing. Maybe you can in turn be an inspiration for them to have successes in their own life. Go forth & keep experiencing abundance. I've always gotten the impression that one too many APO folks got a lil green when things were going well for me.

Some friendships and relationships are not meant to last forever. Some only last for a season and a reason. Some people I haven't seen for years and I can pick up right where i left off.
54:11-1.09.56 marker: I talk about mean sorority girls here (Pre APO story). Feel free to skip if you don’t like Greek life. I no longer want to be a sorority girl. F**** it.
