( I chose these pics to show the many different sides of me, even though it seems as if I kept the same creepy smirk. I really have to change my hair often because that is how I express myself. But as of December I am not my hair, I did the big chop! I cut my hair off at 3 a.m. in the morning, my stress was high and I hated the way my natural was growing in at the time.)
Of course I've said multiple times on the blog who I am. But allow me to further introduce myself. I figure, why would you want to read a blog and you really don't know the person behind it. So here is an exclusive interview I had with myself. ( That was supposed to be funny or a cue for you to laugh, please don't think I'm crazy.)
So here is the inside on Beyonce(jk)/Raven Pigee(pronounced Pee-jay, yet it has been slaughtered for years as Pig-E.)
1) What do I do for a living? I am currently a broke college student. So I guess I work my parents nerves. Matter fact I work my own nerves too. (Side bar. I'm not a bum. I have jobs here and now but I do my best in school when I have no distractions.)
2)Who do I love? Other than God and my family, I'd have to say me. I love my friends they know they cool or whatever. But currently I have been embracing tf out of myself and being very kind to myself. Because if I know how to love me, then I won't be seeking validation from others. Any other love or affection will just be secondary.
3)Where am I from? I was born in Arkansas(omg what a weirdo.) I moved around a bit because of my dad's job. I say I am from Laplace, La. If someone asks where you are from, I equate that to wherever you have lived the longest. And I have lived in Laplace since I was in second grade. It took me a while to get adjusted to the south, because I lived in Shreveport before that and the cultures are EXTREMELY different. Plus I was dramatic and didn't want to give anything a chance.
4)What makes me smile? I know this sounds corny, but making others smile makes me smile. I really am a people person rather I want to accept it or not, so just making others smile is good for me. FOOD. Oh yea food really gets my teeth showing.
5)What has been the stupidest thing you have done thus far? Well honestly, 2016 was the year dedicated to my stupidity. I got in a wreck, had an extreme amount of tickets, exhausted a very long situationship(that could be a book), etc. So that list would be EXTREMELY too long. But an everlasting stupid thing I have done, and sometimes still do, is doubt myself. I ask too many people for their input and let their uncertainty get in my head. I have learned, and still am learning that my life is ultimately a sum of MY choices.
6) The most important thing you have done so far? Continually moving forward. I've faced a huge amount of obstacles many people aren't aware of. Health, school, etc. For the most part, I deal with my struggles with grace. I really am the queen of comeback.
7) What is your passion? My passion is helping others, specifically kids. I think the problem that the generation behind us is facing is a lack of understanding. We faced this too, but we were not as soft as they are (no offense,) So in the future I want to be the person who bridges the gap of lack of understanding. I want to help children understand they don't have to be impulsive and make these crazy decisions in the heat of the moment. My passion is also art, specifically but not limited theater. I was in talented theater all of my life, and probably is the cause of my theatrical persona (my friends think I'm the most dramatic person they know.) I really like all of the fine arts though. And music. Music is really my life. I'm extremely passionate about 80's-90's R&B music that steadily reminds me of simpler times.
8) What career are you pursuing? I am currently enrolled as a senior (YES LAWD) majoring in Psychology, with a minor in mass communications. Hate to say it but I kind am unsure of what I will do with this. I do know I will probably get my masters in clinical psych, public administration, or even higher education. IDK. I want to teach, be a psychologist, create films, be an astronaut( JK.) There is just a lot of things I want to tackle but I feel limited but like ya boy Drake said , "God's Plan."
9) What is the best thing that could happen to you right now? Well I'm currently typing this and it is 3:38 a.m. So the best thing that could happen to me is us having some syrup for the waffles we just bought, cause I am hungry. How we got waffles but no syrup dude????
10)Who are my favorite artist? Okay so I consider I have multiple artists I really like so I'll do them by categories:
Hip Hop: Wale, J.Cole , Tupac, Drake, Nas, and some old Jay-Z bops. Honorable mention: Fab & Bun B
R&B : Beyonce, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Sade, Jhene Aiko, Partynextdoor (I love him omg), Stevie Wonder, Chris Brown, Brent Faiyaz, Daniel Caesar, New Edition, Dvsn, Jagged Edge, Usher. Honorable mention: Aaliyah and HER
Bounce ( uh yea I said it) : Treety, VicKeeLo, Reedy, Fly boy Keeno, Magnolia Shorty (Rip). Honorable mention: Sissy Nobby, he got all the old bops I used to dance to at Shannon's (Laplace party reference.)
11) What is my favorite food? I love all seafood for the most part. I love pasta and bread. I eat too much bread, I'm going to turn into Squidward from the episode when he ate all them crabby patties.
12) What are my favorite movies? I love the Best Man, The Wood, Enough, Shutter Island, Straight Outta Compton, and the Rugrats Movie ( don't judge me pls.) And of course it's Wakanda Forever!
13) What is your favorite word or phrase? "I'm screaming." I say it with a straight face too. Even when things aren't funny I say this, I need to stop... yikes!
14) What annoys me the most? I really don't like people who complain a lot or think they are the only people who deal with life. Flashy people also annoy me. Sorry.
15) Dream vacation? I really MUST go to Dubai before I die. That place is beautiful.
