OMG!!! I haven't been on here in so long. I've got to do better! To say the least--life has definitely been busy, but I will not make excuses for not writing because "excuses are tools for the incompetent, crutches for the weak. They build monuments of nothingness and those who use them seldom, if ever, amount to anything". In short, I've just been lazy!
So, my birthday is coming up (May 4 to be exact), and I've started to reflect over the last year of my life. The reason being is because after May 4, I will be closer to 30 than I am 20. Here are a few reflections:
#1- It's the scary truth...I'm starting to become my mother. I remember always saying when I was younger that I would NEVER become my mother; however, over the last few years, I've started to see that our mannerisms are quite the same. Here's an example: My mother is a passenger driver. What that means is if someone else is in the driver's seat (9 times out of 10, it's my dad), she will direct them and constantly yell out certain things like "Slow down", "Do you see that car?", and "Watch Out". Well, I definitely find myself doing it too when I'm riding with my man friend. I know he hates it, but I simply cannot help myself. His driving really does scare the living daylights out of me.
#2- True friendship is irreplaceable. Even though I do not tell them as much as I should, I absolutely love and cherish my friends. Especially Taura and Netra. I love them because they have been patient with me and they have always loved me for being me. They have been there through all my faults, selfishness, and everything else and I will always be there for them. The nights we have cried, laughed, got into mischief...nothing can replace that. We all are different paths of life, but I can still call them and vent about anything that's going on in my life. Chastity is another good friend of mine. She's really been like a sister to me and I love her for that. True friendship is a must these days. If you don't have it, then you're missing out on true blessings.
#3 A really good man IS hard to find. Thank God I have the BEST. Yes, he gets on my nerves sometimes, but through all of our ups and downs, he has consistently been a rock for me. He makes me want better for my life. Thank you God for my blessing.
#4 I can't really listen to this garbage referred to as hip-hop without getting a headache. Am I really getting that old or is the music industry really sinking to an all-time low?? Yeah, I said it. I'm embarrassed by that mess. What happened to the real music??!? I simply hate these ring tone jams. There's really a song called "Yah, Trick Yah"?!?!? You've got to be kidding me.
Stay tuned...More reflections to come. I'm about to go cyber shopping...
