Advice: Meaning Of Turnt Up & Discussing Transactional Relationships

Photo Credit: https://bookgoodies.com/not-all-girls-play-with-dolls-by-leslie-m-jasper/ Hello Everyone! How is life on your side of the globe today? I'm happy that it is Friday and the weekend is here again! What are your weekend plans my friend? It is supposed to be 87 degrees F here in New York City tomorrow. I know I need to enjoy the outdoors tomorrow. Here's another reminder for you that my first children's book "Not All Girls Play With Dolls" is available in e-book, paperback, and hardcover on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iTunes. I found out that this book is on Book Goodies website. Check out the link and photo above to check out their website. The same reminder goes for my first adult book entitled, "Construction Tales: Volume I: A Woman's Journey To Become An Electrician". I'm delivering yet another double Quora injection for your mind. This first piece of advice for today is regarding a question around the meaning of the term "turn up/turnt". Since it is the end of the work week, I felt like the theme of alcohol and getting turnt up is appropriate. :) I appreciate those moments where I get opportunities to connect with friends and get turnt up. I can't stay up super late so my hours of getting turnt up only lasts until 12-1AM the latest. I tend to fantasize about my pajamas and my wonderful bed. I was never much of a party animal in my 20's either. My second piece of advice is changing gears wildly. This second subject matter is on people who perceive relationships as transactional. I personally think it is best to find out exactly where the person is coming from. Once you know, you know exactly how to proceed. Life is not all roses and fluff; it can be ugly and messy. Knowing is best to help you best prepare in the future. Let me know your thoughts on socializing, either boozing with friends or developing relationships, by dropping your comments in the comment section down below. Let's get straight into it and check out the question and my response down below: POSED QUESTION #1: "What is the meaning of the expression "turn up/turnt"?" -By Marcelo Philippe MY RESPONSE #1: "According to a Business Insider article, the first appearance of "turnt" appeared on “UrbanDictionary” on August 2, 2005. However, the phrase has risen to prominence by being featured in a number of hip-hop songs, beginning in 2008 with Lupe Fiasco's "Turnt Up" through 2014 when rapper Lecrae released “I’m Turnt." The expression just means that a person is enjoying themselves tremendously, either solo or with their friends, while sipping on LARGE quantities of alcohol. If you are having fun, be safe and don’t drink and drive. Good luck! #ConstructionTales #VerballyDisastrous #NotAllGirlsPlayWithDolls" -By Leslie M. Jasper https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-meaning-of-the-expression-turn-up-turnt/answer/Leslie-Jasper-3?prompt_topic_bio=1 POSED QUESTION #2: "What does it mean if someone who was very close to you tells you that they only did things for you to get something in return?" -By V Ives MY RESPONSE #2: "When someone shares an ugly truth, you damn sure better believe them. Armed with the new data, you then know how to navigate around them accordingly. You now know that they regard your relationship as transactional. Don’t try to take it personal; it’s now a business relationship. It is your choice to continue or stop the relationship. If you are receiving an equal exchange of time and/or money from the other party, then move according to when you are in need of what they have to offer. You are not going to change the mindset of a person who views people as transactions. You can only learn to navigate and treat them like a business dealing. On the other hand, it’s better to know a person’s angle versus being left in the dark about it. If you choose to stop the relationship, it is your choice on whether or not to reveal the root of your decision. At the end of the day, revealing your reason won’t cause any form of change. The only thing that could happen would be unnecessary drama. Therefore, choosing to withhold the root cause of your decision to part ways may be best. I wish you the absolute best on your life path! #VerballyDisastrous #ConstructionTales #NotAllGirlsPlayWithDolls" -By Leslie M.

This is short story #11 entitled, "Juggling Motherhood & Working With The Tools". This short story covers my life as a widowed, single mother in the era when I juggled both motherhood and my career as a journeywoman electrician. I share the various challenges I faced and lessons learned along the way. The previous short story is entitled: #10: "Early Life Lessons & Characters To Meet As An Apprentice". I decided to write about some life lessons such as guarding your personal information, managing nasty rumors, combating sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism. Overall, the construction culture has improved dramatically over the past 25-years. Developing both a thick skin and a sharp tongue are key tools needed to survive various jobsite antics. I hope you learn something from this short story. There are more to come. These short stories are now also available as Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes.
