It’s that time of year ya’ll. Time to cleanse, renew and plan accordingly for the year to come. 2018 was an interesting year to say the least.
Although there were many beautiful things that happened this year — there are plenty more things that shall be left behind and not to be seen or experienced in 2019 and the years to come. Hit the flip to say goodbye.
Blac Chyna
We were all rooting for the reality star back in 2017 when she single handedly finessed her way into the Kardashian empire. But after all her drama this year with with her revenge porn lawsuit against Rob Kardashian, not to mention her dating a 17-year old — oh, and she’s the face of Whitenicious skin bleach — we gotta leave Chyna in 2018.
“No Cap”
Every now and then, there’s a new slang term that sounds so cool the first 3 times you hear it. Some say Chief Keef started the “capping” wave. Others say Future made it popular. But as with all things that are cool, folks started to abuse it. So we’re not bringing it into 2019, no cap.
Bow Wow
To be honest, Bow Wow was supposed to be left in 2017 when he said he wasn’t Black, or when he lied about being on a private jet. But we let it slide, because it’s Bow Wow! However, the rapper/actor may need to take some time next year to focus on getting his mental health right. Maybe we’ll be ready for him again in 2020.
Toxic Relationships
Whether it’s a romantic relationship, friendship, familial relationship or a situationship — if it’s taking more energy than it’s adding to your life, it’s taking up space for higher vibrating experiences to come in. Leave it behind.
“Whew Chile”
Nene Leakes is the queen of catchphrases, but whew, chile! Y’all ran that one in the whole. From Shaderoom comments to IG caption, folks have spun that phrase as many ways it could possibly be spun. It was fun while it last, but chiiilllle — let’s leave it in 2018.
Unnecessary Reboots
As a culture, we just can’t leave good enough alone. After “Full House” and “Veronica Mars” got their reboot, everybody and their mama wanted to remake a classic show. But for 2019, we should stick to creating original content, instead of living in the past.
Rainbow Hair
Y’all made fun of Tekashi 69 back in 2017 when he first became known as the “rainbow haired” rapper. Ever since then, The rainbow colored wigs were flowing in abundance. Let’s not pollute the culture with it in 2019. K?
Making Non-Talented People Famous
With the rise of social media over the years, we’ve been letting people make millions and tell our kids what to think and how to act for many, many years. But ya’ll outdid yourselves this year with Danielle Bregoli — a.k.a. the Cash Me Outside girl. She went from disrespecting her mom on TV to having a multimillion dollar record deal. Is that the roadmap to success that we want our children to see? Leave it behind.
Being Ruled By Anxiety
We all get anxious for various different reasons. But before the year is out, try to cultivate some tips that will help you to not be driven by your uneasiness. No more self sabotaging, no more hiding your power in 2019. Time to be your best self.
Fake Outrage
2018 was the year of exposing folks who’ve gotten away with heinous activities for years; I.E. Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, etc. But there are other things that people complained about that wasn’t worth all that energy. Like Marvel fans who attempted to boycott Black Panther. MYOB. In 2019, the rule should be: If You Don’t Care About It In Your Daily Life, Don’t Write A Thread About It.
