INSECURE The Season Four Finale and My Thoughts About and For Y’all in No Particular Order
I hope y’all see the importance of mental health and wellness, ‘cause everybody on this show needs a damn therapist. And for the last time: You cannot expect your spouse or significant other to bring you out of your depression. That is an unfair expectation. #PrayersforTiffany #PrayersforDerek
Did y’all really check that bus scene though? White dude told Kelli that his inner personality was a big, loud, black woman (another topic for another day). Kelli put him in his place and dude’s inner-Karen found a way to insert himself in an altercation that was between Kelli, the crew, and the bus driver. Also, did y’all check out the other Karen? Sis got off the bus and inserted herself, too. #BLM
I think the final straw for Andrew came when Molly didn’t get him the kind of food he wanted in the last episode. Y’all gon stop playing with people’s food! #washyourhands
My friend, Michael, said that Lawrence never actually talked to Condola like he told Issa he did. Yep, he lied, y’all. #purefuckboy
I’m surprised at the number of progressive-thinking folk, especially women, who keep suggesting that Condola trapped Lawrence. Seriously? In 2020, y’all still ascribe to the archaicy that men own little-to-no responsibility in the baby-making process and that it’s all on the woman? Whew...the toxicity. The shame. The projection.
I keep telling y’all: Fuckboys are fertile. #Lawrence
Why are some of us afraid of relationships? Because some of y’all make relationships look so HARD. Andrew was right, relationships are supposed to be easier than that. If you have to work at any relationship as hard as Andrew felt like he was working at his, y’all need to leave. #itaintworthit
Ok...so there’s A LOT of hate for Condola, almost as much as the hate y’all have for Molly. So, what’s y’all’s REAL issue? Y’all extend God-like grace to Lawrence and Issa, ignoring their folly and foolishness, but y’all are absolutely ruthless when it comes to these flawed and *clears throat* SUCCESSFUL, black women.
Bottom line: Lawrence, like Molly, has a check list. A family is one of the many things on his list. He ain’t leaving that baby. Issa knows that. Y’all know that too. #afamilythatprays
Ain’t nothing funny about postpartum depression, BUT Tiffany went bar hopping, grabbed some food, and got a whole hotel room at The Sheraton. Y’all...that’s funny!
Whether it was due to a falling out or the organic separation of paths, I have friends that I don’t talk to as much anymore. However, those people KNOW me! We grew up together, saw and experienced A LOT together. Nothing ever completely breaks those bonds. Nothing. (I love y’all.)
Y’all! Every black family has a clairvoyant aunt that interprets dreams and visions. They usually struggle with timing, too. Always late. Always inappropriate.
Compromise and sacrifice are kin, they are not the same thing, y’all. Andrew sacrificed and Molly compromised, and Molly is unable to see that.
Until recently, both Molly and Issa have been able to dodge environments that challenged them to change components of themselves. That’s how some of y’all live your lives—skipping processes and avoiding confrontation.
Y’all notice how Issa keeps emphasizing “friend” when she talks to Nathan? That ain’t for Nathan, that’s for Issa. This tension between those two will definitely blossom into more “messiness.” Watch!
Well, y’all, seems like Issa was right about Molly, and Molly was right about Issa: messiness and a failed relationship, respectively. #friendsknow
Questions every woman wants to hear from y’all when she tells you that she’s pregnant:
“Are you sure it’s mine?”
“Are you gonna keep it?”
“Aren’t you on birth control?”
“You sure?”
“How many tests you took?” (Followed by: “You used the expensive kind or the cheap kind?”)
To Derek and other men/women like him: It’s not y’all’s fault. But remember, TIME and BABIES only mobilize whatever issues are there by bringing them to the surface.
My classmate, Justin, wanted me to remind y’all that Insecure stole this pregnancy plot twist from The Game. Be blessed.
