We all like a lil' Role Play...

So...let me tell tell you I am a firm believer that everyone has a role to play in life and when people step out of their role that is where the confusion begins. For example everyone wasn't meant to the "cool" guy or else how would cool be cool? Everyone couldn't handle popularity it would be too much attention for some. Some are meant to fulfill the whack role, and that's fine just wear your whackness proudly. This brings me to a story of someone stepping out of their role. Yesterday as I am leaving class I get a phone call from what my mother would call an "old flame" we happen to have three classes together due to the fact that we are the same major. Which for other people may be awkward but for I feel like, "Hey I've been there, done that...and I'm fly so you wish you could do it again." oh well call me cocky! Anyway as I answer the phone "old flame" asked me if me disappearing after class is going to be my new thing? What?! I'm sorry I didn't realize I had to check in before leaving the room and going on about my business. So I agree to meet the "old flame" in the student center for a quick bite to eat before another class, however I have a few things to do so I may be a few minutes. Now if I told you that I would be a second...would you have called me four more times within the hour asking where I was and what I was doing?! MY GAWD MAN REST YOURSELF! When we finally meet my first comment is,

L. Camille: "Stop clockin' me, MY MAN doesn't even do that."
Old Flame: "That's the problem, if he did then maybe you wouldn't have all that attitude."
LC: "What in the hell?! Are you serious? Negro I have one damn daddy and one boyfriend, and YOU are neither of those things so YOU'RE ROLE STEPPING."

Can you believe that bulls*it!? Telling me that if my boyfriend was checking my whereabouts, questioning me, and rushing me that I would be a different person. That's that bullsh*t if I ever heard it before. Ladies and Gentlemen this is why he is an OLD FLAME, because clearly he has a misconstrued idea of who L.C Rob is and what L.C Rob does. I can't have a man thinking he can check me, now don't get me wrong, I do like a man who can pull my reigns from time to time because I am a lot of woman...but someone plays that role so I'm good.

People play your role. We've all been given one, whether it's the "cool" guy, the "bad" chick, the "lame" accept your place in society and wear it proudly...and please for the love of James Brown don't play another role...unless it's for a little "naughty" fun!
