Before I begin, I have to apologize for my recent cranky articles. I’ll admit, I definitely haven’t been the ‘blowing sunshine up your ass’ girl lately. The other day, after I published this I had to give myself the talk…

And then there was this cranky article too

The talk looked something like this…

“Iva, what’s going on? What the hell is wrong with you girl?” and it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I’ve been a people pleaser my entire fucking life and for once I’m not and I’m now spewing venom to make up for the last 50 years of saying “yes sir no sir how high sir”.
