ask.nikeface@gmail QUESTION of tha DAY:

So, i really didn't think anyone was really going to send any emails once i ACTUALLY gave them an opportunity to be featured on tha blog BUT... i was MISTAKEN. i like being wrong every once in a while. i LIKE thinking tha worst... &expecting tha typically and being pleasantly surprised! anywho... so this is my VERY first EMAIL RESPONSE:

Ask Nikeface: "hey gurl. i like ur blog. i don't read it everyday but when i do run across ur link on ur myspace or twitter page i make sure i read what u updated. my question is what is ur advice for a young single mother."

Nikeface Confesses: well, i want to say congrats, to you [if you're tha young single mother] or to whomev you're refering to. having a baby is one tha most beautiful and amazing blessings God could have ever given to tha human race. and you should be thankful that he chose you. but it's HARD. it is SOOO HARD. like, not even financial [but mostly.] ---but the emotions you go through. my son is 6mths old and i think i'm finally getting postpartum! it's really ridiculous. my mood swings are horrendous, but most of tha time i'm by myself so, no one has to feel my wrath anymore. lol. but seriously, my best advice to have a plan and stick to it. of course, you're going to have work around shit and revise, devise and finalize LOTS of times. but always, do what's best for YOU and tha BABY. accept ALL tha help you can. food stamps, daycare vouchers, WIC, job training classes, job placement services, housing assistance...WHATEVER you can qualify for... get it, because contrary to popular belief people ACTUALLY need those benefits and YOU, as a YOUNG, SINGLE, mother should be taking advantage of these tools offered by your state. even if no one else believes you can, I DO! because i'm def not an expert on being a single mom, BUT ...i am one nonetheless and am actually kinda flattered you sent this question. ---soo, ahhh, yeah... just stayed FOCUSED and POSITIVE. love God, love your seed and love YOURSELF.

yours truly.
nkfce.
