SALT Episode 6: Rules Don't Apply

Opening Scene: The Turning Point


Mya sat on her bed, staring at her reflection in the mirror. The room was filled with soft morning light, casting a gentle glow that contrasted with the turmoil inside her. She took a deep breath, feeling a sense of clarity and determination.


Mya (Voice-over): “Sometimes, it takes hitting rock bottom to see things clearly. I’ve been pushed, pulled, and ghosted one too many times. Today, everything changes.”


Ignoring Jay


Her phone buzzed on the nightstand. She glanced at the screen and saw a text from an unknown number.


Unknown Number’s Text: “Hey, it’s Jay. Can we talk?”


Without a second thought, Mya swiped the notification away and put her phone down, a look of determination on her face.


Mya (Voice-over): “I’m done with being played. No more games, Jay.”


Planning with Faith


Later, in the living room, Maya sat with her close friend, Faith, discussing her plan over coffee.


Faith: “So, what’s the plan now?”


Mya: “I’m ghosting him. Let him feel what it’s like to be ignored and treated like an afterthought.”


Faith: “He deserves it. But just be ready for him to twist things around. You know narcissists never see their own faults.”


Mya: “Sis at this point it doesn't even matter anymore; I’m ready. It’s time for me to move on and focus on myself.”


Jay’s Reaction


Meanwhile, at Jay’s apartment, he sat on his couch, staring at his phone. He sent multiple texts to Mya, each one more desperate than the last.


Jay’s Texts:

1. “Mya, why aren’t you responding?”

2. “I really need to talk to you.”

3. “Come on, don’t be like this.”


Jay (Voice-over): “She thinks she can just ignore me? She’ll come around. She always does.”


Confrontation Attempt


Mya had always been into fitness and Jay knew the park where she always ran so it was no coincidence when he showed up unexpectedly, the next day, his frustration evident.


Jay: “Mya, why have you been ignoring me?”


Mya: “Jay, I’m done. I’m done with the games, the ghosting, all of it.”


Jay: “Games? You think I’m playing games? What about that time you didn’t show up for our date? Or when you ignored my calls?”


Mya: (Firmly) “Yeah, yeah, those were mistakes, Jay. But this… this is different. I’m choosing to move on. You should too.”


Jay: (Defensively) “You’re just running away from your own problems. Don’t put this all on me.”


Mya: (Sighs) “Believe whatever you want. I’m done explaining myself to you.” and went back to her run.

She couldn't lie, she was glad Jay couldn't see the koolaid smile plastered across her face...


Jay’s Petty Response


Jay, determined to make Mya eat her words, posted pictures on social media with another woman, trying to make her jealous. However, he wasn't ready for the clapback Mya had in store for him.


Mya saw the pictures and felt a surge of emotions mixed with anger, humor, inspiration and determination.


Mya (inner thoughts): “Really, Jay? You think this is gonna bother me?” Maya decided to channel her frustration and emotions into a powerful diss track. She sat down to write, determined to end this chapter with a bang. Knowing that this would be her final conversation with Jay, she knew she wanted to hit him where it would hurt, so she decided to hone in on his insecurities.


What they say, when they go low, we go for the jugular!!! as she began to type.


Diss Track:


Hey, listen up, ‘cause I got something to say,

You thought I was weak, but nah, not today.

I told you before, you can’t handle me now,

Matching energy, standing tall, take a bow.


You loved when I didn’t know my worth,

When my voice was small, my dreams dispersed.

You thrived when I let you dominate,

Using me, confusing love with hate.


Posting pics with her, thinking she’s a ten?

Boy, she’s barely a one,

I'm the real deal, the total package, and then some.

You’re playing games, trying to contend,

But I’m out of your league, this is the end.


Got my confidence back, strong, and how!

Body tight, mind sharp, spirit free,

Pussy wet, I’m all that I wanna be.


And now, oh now, the tables have turned,

Lessons learned, bridges burned.

You ain’t the only man in the world, not by far,

I’m a shining, unbreakable, bright star.


Niggas lining up, but I’m choosing me,

Cause I’m worth more than you could ever see.

So keep your blocks and your petty games,

I’m moving on to bigger, better frames.


You were a lesson, yeah, a stepping stone,

Helped me see my strength, how much I’ve grown.

So nigga, fuck you, and your weak ass drama,

I’m done being quiet, welcome the new saga.


You were my Goliath, but now I stand tall,

Slayed you down, that was my greatest call.

So block me, delete me, do whatever you please,

Cause I’m living my life, full of peace and ease.


Closure


Returning home, Mya felt empowered. She set up her camera to record a video update.


Mya (to camera): “Hi everyone, it’s Mya. Today, I took a big step for myself. I chose to walk away from someone who didn’t value me. Remember, you deserve respect and honesty in your relationships. Don’t let anyone play games with your heart.”


Ending Scene: New Beginnings


Later, Mya sat at her desk, writing a new blog post, her face reflecting a sense of peace and determination.


Mya (Voice-over): “This is just the beginning. I’ve got so much more to share, and this time, it’s all about me.”


Closing Monologue


To anyone out there dealing with their own Jay, remember this – you hold the power. Stand up for yourself, know your worth, and never settle for less. The rules don’t apply when it comes to your happiness.

This is Mya, signing off.”


So this is it, the end of SALT. Mya is me, Mya might be you, or maybe you know a Mya, and I'm sure we all know a Jay. The incredible thing about women like Mya is their resilience and strength. They often find themselves with men like Jay because they are insecure and are searching for something, but when they realize their worth, they become unstoppable. If you or someone you know can relate to this story, please share it with them. Remember, you have the power to reclaim your strength, to choose yourself, and to live a life full of peace and ease. Stand tall, shine bright, and never settle for less than you deserve. You've got this!
