Drama Happy Inspirational

This was no ordinary morning. I had fell asleep with my TV on and slept really good. I woke up to the news being on. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The news woman was basically saying how they are banishing Taxes in every state for good due to the depression it's caused many citizens and families. My heart started beating fast. What?!! Finally some good changes! All we now have to pay was sales taxes. Every sales tax will now be a minimum of $3 which I will happily pay since we don't have to pay annual taxes anymore! I wept in joy because this is definitely what I needed. I know this news has caused such a relief for so many people all over the world. It made me so happy to know that I can continue making my money and not worrying about how I have to give it back at the end of the year.

I picked up the phone and my friend answered on the second ring. She had no clue what had just happened. I asked her if she had time to chat right quick and she said yes. Ashley was my friend of 2 years, but she was perfect and I feel like I knew her longer.

When I first told Ashley about the no taxes news, she screamed so loud. I immediately asked her where she was at as I laughed. She was outside but at a shopping center. She mentioned how people were looking at her. She found it amusing. She completely enjoyed the fact that taxes were banished and said how America has been greedy for years and that it was a matter of time. I agreed. I was still weeping because this can allow so much expansion for lots of people, especially business owners and freelancers.

After Ashley and I hung up with each other, I called my mother. She wasn't available right away so I left her a message. This was definitely going to be news to her because she would have more money for herself without worrying.

The perfect way to celebrate was to head to the mall and shop. Ashley agreed to just meet me there since she was closer. I had no problem driving. That's what I had a car for. I don't understand what people don't be wanting to drive for if they have the capability to. It's a blessing.

It was unbelievable that driving was interesting and eventful as it was because people were blasting music and screaming NO MORE TAXES!!! All I could do was smile. I even joined in with a few people until I was able to continue driving forward. People were definitely enjoying the birthing of a new world in a financially friendly sense. I wept a little more in my car thanking God and just being so grateful for this happening. We deserve to live comfortably and we deserve to enjoy life without stress.

I arrived to the mall about 20 minutes after leaving the house and locked eyes with a nice looking guy immediately upon walking into the mall. It was one of those movie scene moments. My heart did something weird and I just knew I would pass out. He did not stop looking either. It wasn't a creepy stare though, it was just neutral and he was fine. I did look kind of nice even though I wasn't "fully" dressed. I had on a fitted black dress with a silver charm necklace and a wig that I used some hair pins on. I guess I looked good enough to stare down. He just looked too good. He was a brown skin guy who resembled Chris Brown and Lil Wayne. He had Lil Wayne's facial structure and Chris Brown features. The eyes were intense and it made me shiver. I shockingly kept a poker face by not changing my facial expression. Technically I was at the mall and I had the right to be amazed by the window presentations, right? Ha.

As I walked forward, I could see his head turning towards where I was going. He called out to me just before I turned the corner. I stopped, but I shouldn't have. I looked at him with a neutral look and a slight smirk as he smiled. He introduced himself as E and said he wasn't sure if he would be able to say something to me at first which is why he came as I almost got out of sight. I told him how I was surely wondering that and we laughed in unison. He smelled so good and he was even cuter close up. Very masculine jawline and nice teeth and full lips. He had brown eyes and some waves on swim. We chatted for about 5 minutes and the vibe definitely was there. I let him know that I was meeting my bestfriend and that I would call him in the evening before 8. He agreed.

Low and behold Ashley had seen us. I just knew she would be deep in the mall somewhere. She said she basically watched me just to see where I would go, but she saw E approaching so she didn't call. I respect it. Ha. We laughed and she complimented me on getting such a good looking guy attention. I smiled because he sure was an upgrade from people I dealt with in the past. I was sure that me and E could form a cool bond.

Ashley and I shopped and people were in the mall screaming NO TAXES!! YEAH NO TAXES!! We smiled and joined as we found places to go into. I ended up buying clothes by the outfit and spent over $2k which was better than the last time when I spend almost $4k. I was just grateful that I could spend so much on myself regardless of the tax status or not. God is good.

My mother ended up calling me as me and Ashley got ice-cream. 5 people were ahead of us so I had time to chop it up with my Mom. She asked me if I heard about the taxes and I assured her I did and told her that's why I called earlier. She told me she was sleep because she woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep until 3 hours later. Wow. I agreed to go to her house so we can basically have a mini celebration including Ashley. Today was a good day.
