It starts *TODAY*

So, I previously stated that I had to do something new everyday until I turn 25. Well, today I am going to post one of my random pieces I wrote.....*here goes nothing* 

Girlfriends?

The one thing a girl needs

Those who speak otherwise well, what’s your story?

yeah, you don’t like other females because they’re messy

they’re jealous, they’re “not like the guys”

::D4::

But I’ve always questioned these “motivations”

I mean are these reasons as to why you don’t get along with other females or

are they simply reasons as to why females don’t get along with you?

Think about it…

Males and Females are created in such a way that it is a hard

and quite complex thing to fully understand each other.

So how is it that YOU are misunderstood by everyone who is meant to understand you

and understood by those who truly have no idea?

yeah, Answer me that!

Well, I know better.

I know that girlfriends are a valuable thing and that all girls ought to have at least one.

Not saying you should have a small army, because that is taking a step in the wrong direction, but one,  that’s doable.

none? That’s a sign….for others.

*SBWC*

Maybe you don’t need that girl to double with you to the bathroom, or maybe you don’t need someone to accompany you to prim and prep for a big night out, but what happens in that moment when you just unexpectedly had your monthly visit from the famous “red Rita” and you need a helping hand?

I can imagine your “homeboys” aren’t going to want to be around for that.

Or what about when you just end a relationship and need to celebrate/bash the guy who just broke your heart? Ok ok, yeah you’ll probably hit me with that “I’m good, I’m a strong woman, I don’t need to go through those things after a relationship”

Right.

That’s what we all say, until our girls show up and it’s a whole different story. But when your girls never arrive [because you have none] you’ll still be singing that same fabricated story. I get it.

Something New ♥

So, this is the deal.  I will be a quarter of a century this year and it is only right that I count it DOWN! The big 2-5. This is one of those big steps. The time that you stop marking the under 25 box  and become a proud marker of the 25-30 box. Now, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this change in my life. Its like that point where you relinquish more of your inner child and exchange it for grow-up responsibilities. yeah. eww. Not too happy about that. I find myself contemplating whether or not you have to now act more refined and not do the things you once did. If that’s the case, I  just wont fit in with the other boring 25 year olds because  I refuse to give up any inch of that. I have always vowed to remain lively, fun, and youthful no matter how much my age continues to display a decline in that. From now until December 20, 2011 I am attempting to do “something new” everyday. Im not speaking in terms of the movie, although I wouldn’t mind that. I mean something I have never done or something that forces me to step outside of my box. That under 25 box. Its only right that I start now because it is only a matter of time until I truly step out of that box forever. So glasses up, and cheers *ting* to stepping out of the box!

Life is too short in this small world.....

The other day, while I was at work on the 15th floor of my office building, I looked out of the window and saw the world in a different light. From the 15th floor the cars on the street and the pedestrians on the sidewalks seemed ant-like. It was at that moment that I realized how insignificant one can seem to the whole world in the big scheme of things. It made me realize that some problems that I experience are nothing in comparison to problems going on in the world. While people are starving, homeless, and in poverty....I find myself upset over petty things, things that don't really matter. It put things in perspective for me....I mean does it really matter that I don't have the money to spend on recreational things or "have money to blow?" Not really! I have realized that you have to appreciate the small things and be thankful for everything in life and not take anything for granted.

We only have a short time in this small world. life is to short for petty problems and nonsense. There is no time to hold grudges, be upset, negative, or unforgiving. If you think about it a lifetime is about 70-80 years [typically.....well, now a days maybe older]. That is not much time when you factor out the 20 years or so it takes to find yourself and really start living life and have the capacity to realize life lessons such as these. It's an unfortunate thing to waste time with hard feelings. Instead we should spend our time enjoying our relationships, making memories and cherishing the them.

As the time continues....

Congratulations to ME! Yes, I said it. Congratulations to myself. First year of law school is done and I am still breathing. If someone would have told me about this moment a year ago, I wouldn’t have been able to envision what it would be like. This year was crazy, fun, and most of all a learning experience [literally and figuratively speaking]. I thank GOD that I made it through and without his grace I couldn’t have done it. They say the three years of law school are going to fly by and now I see that there may be a little truth to that statement. During the year it felt like I could just count the milliseconds go by because they were ticking so slow; but, now that I have accomplished that first year it seems like it was a flash[but don’t get it twisted, it wasn’t]. I missed LIFE over the last 9 months and I can’t wait to catch up and see what has been going on out here while I was in the library. Next working this summer, I have a lot of shows, movies, friends, stories, and me time to catch up on. I’m SUPER excited.

On another note, I am so happy for my little bit [storm] for graduating! She is a fearless woman and I am so excited to see her take over the world! I am also happy for my heart, he is also graduating [today, as we speak]. He is a handsome, brilliant, and talented man and I know that he will do great things! I am really excited for where these two lovely people are going in their lives and I am blessed to be a part of it.

As for other things …..I am constantly praying for positivity and good health!

SO....Im new to this....

I was recently introduced to this whole blogging thing by a good friend of mine. The thought of publicly sharing information makes me a little apprehensive, but I thought I would give it a try. So here we go!

Currently I am finding a new me out in Texas. I have been here for about 10 months now and my what an experience it has been. I mean talk about about a 180 degree change in regards to a life changing event. Last year at this time I was just graduating from the best university out there...UCF...always a Knight! Now, I am about to finish my first year in law school and my goodness where has the time gone? I mean really, they say time flies but where was I when time was ever here? I feel like this year has went by more than fast and in some ways I am very thankful that it did. It has been a tough year, but I have learned through this year and experience that there is nothing that I can't handle. It is currently final exam week and I am taking a quick break to blog....its kind of a good release after having my head buried in a book all day!

This is the first of many blogs and I am excited to see how this whole blog thing goes...sidenote: are you suppose to blog everyday or what are the rules...or are there rules...a little confused! I guess you could say I am trying to practice "proper blog etiquette" if there is such a thing.
