Hi there! Welcome to the first edition of Ask Blondie. This is where you ask me your unfiltered questions and I give you my unfiltered answers! Because girl… we all have the same problems.

How this is going to work is I will answer three questions a week, as this is going to be a weekly column. This, and another article. I promise I will get to all of your questions though!

And I have to say, my first couple are quite intresting, and I think fit a narrative pretty well. And boy… do I have some opinions. So girls, buckle in!

As always, I hopes this helps.

Question 1; “I think a girl I know (not a friend, aquantince due to my fiancé), hates me. For no reason might I add. I have been nothing but nice to this girl. She is fake, ignores me, is constantly inching closer to my finance, and goes as far as to stalk my social media. What do I do? I talked to my finance, but he is oblivious. She is invading my personal space, my mind, and it is driving me nuts!” -Anonymous

Answer 1; Oh girl… do I have a story for you. Would you believe me if I told you I was going through the same thing? This has been something I have been struggling with for a good six months! And ontop of everything going on in my life, it’s really not needed. I—like yourself—have had to have multiple conversations with my boyfriend about someone, and thankfully he is extreamly attentive. Although it is unfortunate that your fiance is oblivious. Secretly though—most men are. They never see it like we do, and they never will. The first thing you should do is—although scary—you must sit your fianace down and have a conversation. A serious one. As you said, this is taking up your personal space and mind! Stalking and inching closer to your finance is serious. And if this man is going to be your husband, he better be making some accommodations or at least lending a listening ear. And if not, maybe that’s a sign. Now, from the sounds of it, it doesn’t seem like this girl is a relative obviously. So what you need to do immiedtly is BLOCK. Block this girl on all social medias, the stalking is creepy and defenitly not normal. Am I crazy to say that I think this stems from jealously? I don’t want to worry you, I want you to stay alert. This girl may possibly want your man. Remember, your intuition is always right. Stay as for away from her as possible. And stop being so nice! Be short, not mean. Stand your ground. The scariest thing is a woman who wants to be you. Stay far away from her. Let her be jealous.

Question 2; “An older co-worker of mine is harassing me! She drives me nuts everyday. I don’t know if it’s because I’m the youngest at my job, the fact that she thinks she can boss me around because she’s older, or maybe she just hates me? What do you think?” -Anonymous

Answer 2; Girl, I feel your pain. Working where I do with a bunch of older women who think they’re in charge just because they are slightly senior, I felt this in my gut. Let me tell you one thing; The only person at your job that has the right to tell you what to do is your boss. Just because someone is two decades older doesn’t mean they can tell you what to do. I say it all the time, if they get paid the same amount as me with no higher title, we’re equals. No matter the age. Unfortunately this is at every job though. Especially working with a bunch of women! And it is something we are going to have to deal with. So, here’s what you are going to do. Although hard, you are going to ignore this person. As much as you can. Kill them with kindness but also be curt and ignore them. Only talk to them when you have to. This will confuse them. Remember, rarely are our co-workers our friends. Let’s not take it too seriously! Once again, I am seeing a common theme of jealousy. Maybe they are jealous. Let them be! As I said, be polite and be cordial. No reason to have to listen to them though if the order is not coming from your boss. Maybe this persons life is so out of control that they feel the need to give orders at work. If that is the case, I feel sorry for them.

Question 3; “I love your blog! I also love writing. How did you gain the courage to start your blog?”- Anonymous

Answer 3; “Oh my God, thank you so much! You don’t know how much that means to me.

Thank you for reading and asking a question! Twenty-Something has been a long time coming. I’ve always wanted to stated a blog, and I am in fact in school for journalism. I also took some fashion media classes and am a published rom-com author. So obviously a love for writing is needed. I suggest Wix ,which is super easy to work with and is what I work with. I do not suggest starting a blog if you won’t keep up with it though. It is absolutely too expensive not to. I wouldn’t say it took courage, it just took a love for writing and a want for a outlet for all my fellow twenty-something’s! It’s actually quite easy, you just have to keep up with it! For more info, I actually created a video on my TikTok and Instagram!
