And in the year of the BBL, you’d think a little extra weight would be a good thing. That’s not the case for me. I hear men talk about how they like their woman thick, but I must be a little too much on the chunky side because men bypass me like people do on the toll lanes to dodge heavy traffic—hence my lonely ring finger. Ringing a new year is that much harder when you don’t have anyone to share it with. At thirty-four years old, I’m starting to lose hope.

Who am I kidding? Hope was out the window back in January and the January before that. Dare I say the January before that? Men just don’t check for me. I’m not their type. One guy even told me I was a woman who’d make a good friend, but not a girlfriend. Who am I? I’m Brielle Taylor – just the type of girl people expect to be single.

I honestly don’t care what they think. I think I’m a catch. Nova and my sister Dahlia claim there’s nothing wrong with me, but that’s what your best friend and sister are supposed to say, right? Still, I believe them because I believe in myself. I just don’t believe in society’s standards on who I should be or what size is suitable enough for
