Janay Pov
My bad y'all I forgot to introduce myself. Soooo
rude of me. 🙄 Well if you must know my name is Ariyana Janay Johnson but I go by Janay. I was born and raised in the streets of Houston, Texas where all you see is hood niggas sipping lean, hanging out at gas stations and showing off slabs. You know the candy paint slabs with the elbows and suicide doors. Where some of the women bum their way into Carrington's every weekend. Where every crackhead at the corner store is treated more like family than an enemy. Where everyone treat Timmy Chan like a 5 star restaurant. Not too mention, the late great DJ Screw, who invented chop and screw that makes EVERYTHING go slow. And if you don't know about Bissonnet St 👀, then you not a true Houstonian lol. But anyways, I'm brown skin standing at 5'5 and I guess you can say I'm pretty thick. My friends call me thickems, because I mean look at them. I have brown hair that's at shoulder length but I don't really like my natural hair because every time I wear it, it frizz the fuck up. So wig me, please ! I know I'm just rambling right now, but stay with me. I wasn't always like this. If anything I was very shy and quiet. So quiet that people thought something was wrong with me. When in reality, I was so sheltered as a child that I didn't know what it was like to have friends. And the friends I did have turned into foes. So fuck em 🖕🏾
"Ms. Johnson?"
"Ms. Johnson?"
"Ms. Johnson?"
"MS. JOHNSON!!!"
Oh shit, here I go drowned in my thoughts again, that I wasn't even listening to this damn lady call my name...
I'm so sorry Mrs. Smith, my mind is somewhere else. "I could clearly see", she said. I'm thinking in my mind while I'm rolling my eyes.."BITCH!!" Now me and my therapist Mrs. Smith, I guess you can say we have more of a love and hate relationship. I say make that a STRONG hate. I have been coming to this session 5 times already and honestly nothing has been accomplished . But honestly, that was because of me. She actually a pretty cool lady for her age, I just be giving her ass a hard time.
"So Ms. Johnson, what brings you in today?"
"Well Mrs. Smith, I really want to put the past behind me, so I can heal." "Well Ms. Johnson you told me this the last few times and each time you would curse me out so what makes this time different???" "Honestly Mrs. Smith, after I put my kids to sleep (yesss MY KIDS).. my thoughts usually keep me up at night. So bad until the point where I feel very irritated and tired throughout the day. Normally I'll get things done but lately it's been becoming too much." She asked.."So what is the cause of your recent thoughts??" As I hung my head down low, I said .."past childhood trauma from dealing with my mother". I actually hate talking about her because it's a very sensitive topic. So she said.."mmmm now we getting somewhere... may I ask, what is your relationship like with your mother?" I said.. "Mrs. Smith our relationship is too much to explain". She said "ohhh don't worry I got plenty of time", while looking at her Apple Watch.
Ohhh shit, HERE WE GO .....
***Do y'all think Janay is going to actually open up this time in her therapy session? What do you think the outcome will be? How do y'all feel about the therapist?***
