- Hey y'all, it's me, Rickey Thompson,
and I'm on set with Nylon
and I am here to fix your life.
(jazzy music playing)
Go buy some new batteries, okay?
Also, that applies to people, too.
Go out and have fun.
Don't worry about a relationship right now.
You know, we're all leaving out of quarantine right now,
do what you gotta do.
Get what you need to get.
Go out for it.
Look for it. Hunt for it.
You know what I mean?
You'll be fine.
(jazzy music continues)
So if you're having a problem
taking care of your real life plants,
I think you know the answer.
Get some fake plants.
It's real easy.
No watering, no sunlight, no nothing.
It's just there to look cute.
(jazzy music continues)
So I have, yes, struggled with imposter syndrome
when I was really getting into my adult life,
but I just really kept telling myself that
I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna be me,
and I'm gonna be just fine.
And it worked, 'cause I'm here.
(ding)
(jazzy music continues)
Ooh, child, let me tell you something.
I have been through this a lot, okay?
And being ghosted is not fun,
but you cannot care about the ghost
because if they ghost you,
they lost something important,
and baby, you're everything.
So let that go.
(jazzy drums)
What do I tell you on that one?
Oof.
'Cause I do the same thing.
Okay.
If you are scrolling through TikTok
and you feel like you're wasting your day away,
just put your phone down.
I know it may be difficult,
but just turn it off, go outside,
hang out with your friends,
do something other than scroll on TikTok.
Simple as that.
(jazz drums continue)
I went through this before I was, you know,
a boo'd up man.
If your crush is single and you are single,
I think you should honestly just go for it.
The worst thing they can do is leave you on "Seen"
or just say "Not interested,"
and if that's the case, that's their loss.
Move on and go find somebody else.
No shame, girl, have your ho phase.
Hey. (laughs)
