one of those days.

remember to breathe.

make face time.

soo, I went back to my old ways... I've been meaning to blog but I never get to it just like past journals. Anywaays... so February flew by... I have been immersed in my studies and hanging out w. friends and meeting new people. Life is good and I feel like I am happy. I've been thinking alot about my future plans and what I'm going to be doing w. my life exactly. I feel like sometimes I try to avoid getting things done to avoid the responsibility of it all because I might be afraid of not being good enough. I really need to let those feelings go and just dive right in and gain the confidence I need in order for me to get where every it is my future is going to take me. I dont want to be a kiss ass or really pushy but my mom apparently like to grind that idea into us that we (my siblings and I) should really push and gain connections to get where we need to be and she's right but it seems like its always "who you know and not what you know." If this entry seems alittle awkward its cuz I dont even know what I'm trying to say haha moving alongg...

so the love life is currently... STAGNANT but its cool. I'm taking time for me and learning about myself so it works out. I;ve had a couple prospects but nothing too interesting for me to actually take the time out of my day to let them get to know me. I kinda dont want to meet anyone right now... actually not kinda... I DONT. I got on this online dating site just for fun to see who would be interested and VOILA, I guess I'm quite a catch because I received alot of messages and chat invites but I hate it. I hate online dating or online chatting to meet someone because... its sooooo impersonal ya know? Like how do you even know if the person is really who they say they are. I'm an old fashioned girl when it comes to that... like the chick from He's Just Not That Into You when she says... "people dont meet people organically anymore." And she's right... online there isnt love at first sight or those instant butterflies or that spark of interest... its a screen and letters and its soo out of touch. Its time to get off the internet and actually feel people and see who they are and what they do and what theyre about the Dentyne Ice campaign focuses on people disconnecting to really connect. I love it. I'm into discovery right now and I dont want to do it online. I mean i guess it works for some people but just not for me. anyways im out for now... i'll try to blog more often :)

soulsearching.

So, I havent blogged in awhile. I started my semester and I only have class two days a week. Its a good sched but when Im not in school Im jus fuckin around not doing anything. Im in the process of looing for a job but I refuse to settle for retail and the recession isnt too good for me to find an office job so right now im keeping my fingers crossed. I love all of my classes this smester and Im learning alot of interesting things. Besides academics, I have been ging out alot and every weekend I promise myself Im going to stay in I never do but this week will be the beginning. I decided to reoragnize my closet this weekend to stay busy and maybe ill catch a ,ovie with some friends. I think i was gong out so much to avoid the feeling of loneliness... if Im out and twisted then im having fun and focusing on the music and the strobe light because they do make evrything sexier and hide feelings and truths about people. I just want to feel like 100 percent my self again Im almost there and I have been doing alot better ut I just want to feel like I felt before HE happened. I always bring him up here which is interesting because I dont think about him that much I guess i just want to get to the point hes not a thought at ALL, not even in my blog. Since ive been alone i dont stress as much and i feel relieved and im more patient and positive. I've noticed more beauty and im just trying to figure out what I want. My goals right now are to travel and thats really what i want to do this summer. I want to explore and experience things. Life is so unpredictable and things can always change for the better. I meant to blog on the day of the inauguration but it ust slipped my mind. History was made once again on that day and i experienced it. so many experiences that are overlooked can be overwhelming and of the best kind. I thik about people that I know that are trying t figure things out and worry about things they shouldnt worry about and have peolple in their lives that shouldnt be there. I dont want to be one of those people so im re-evaluating. I hada friend that stopped talking to me out of nowhere so i removed her from my fbook friends and she actually took the time to respond to me. I was so shocked she did but I guess to her one less digital friend is a problem. I was so incredibly angry that i told her to fuck off. Im done w. her. she can stay in the world she has w. her boyfriend and when she needs someone shes going to be alone. I need to get away. I think there is soooo much more out there and it bugs me that im just in one place... there will come a time for me. I shouldnt be so upset i can go out and explore because some people have trouble living where they are because they go hungry, or are abused or oppressed as their human rights are violated. The grass will always be greener on the other side. everyone always wants a little bit more.... but life is complicated that way we're not supposed to figure evrything out but some soul-searching is always nice.


peace.

just cause.

I really love Beyonce's song Halo and the video is so soft && shows what it means to really be in love with someone. I would love to experience that but when the time is right. RIGHT NOW though I am my main focus. I went out on Friday and had an AMAZING time w.my friends and the grey goose def. had this girl feeling loose. I start school Monday and I cant wait to learn. :)



life is good.

Tippssss

I am on my way out to NYC to get crunk w. my 2 best girls.
Lounge Hoppin' ... HOLLA.
Who needs a man... NOT MEEEEE :)

Catchin' Up.

LONG BLOG.

So.... I've been going out ALOT. At first I thought it would be a good idea to go out and numb the pain from the heartbreak but then I realized its because I MISSED IT!I wasout last week like everyday... I've reconnected w. people I haven't seen in a while and it felt really nice to see them again. I hung out w. what people would call just an EX but he's a good friend and we have fun together. My friends are surprised at how well we get along. I saw him all wknd and he was totally my party buddy. This past weekend I was out thurs, fri, and sat. I didn't go out sunday cuz my daddy came home from DR :). New Year's is tomorrow and I'm excited about a fresh start, I have some big plans for '09. FRANCE! *keeping my fingers crossed* In August my girls and I are hoping to rent a summer house in DR and jus chill for a few days. For the first time in a long time I feel like I can breathe. I would get reallysad when I would see couples or people in movies or on tv hooking up but then I remember that my relationship was NOT a fairytale and I feel instantly better that I'm doing things for myself. A which is the guy I reconnected with and I had a loooong talk. He had just gotten out of an engagement and we were talking about our relationships (which is why my friends cant believe how cool it is btwn us). We both agreed that our relatinships were exhausting and that we were going to dedicate our time to being happy and discovering ourselves and basically enying life with no stress. I think its goingto be easier for me cuz I dont even speak to my X at all. I was gonna try the whole friend thing but honestly I couldnt take it. I cant be around him w.out missing him and then at a cetrain point being so furious at him. Another reason I cant be friends with him is because he doesnt know how to be a friend so why even bother. He said he would treat me like he did his douchebag friends that all fucking screwed each other over w. out hesitation, so NAH I'M GOOD N****. I think that from now on I should weed out the excess of people I dont fucking need because they are a waste of time. Im not saying that my relationship w. him was a waste of time but a friendship w. hm would be. He wasmy best friend because I was w. him but we have nothing in common so that best friend shit is out the window w. the bf/gf label. A's relationship w. his X however is a little bit more difficult because randomly shows up and she calls every 5 minutes. When I stayed over his house I thought she would have shown up out of the blue. The timing for this new independence could not have come at a better time. I'm going to stay out of a relationship for awhile but Im still looking to have fun ;). I wont be writing about this relationship nonsense everytime I blog, its just to get feelings and thoughts that have lingered out of the way. MOVING ALONG....

Random Thoughts....

I saw YES MAN w. Jim Carrey. It was soooooo good. I saw it alone because my mom and my sisters were in another movie. It was really funny and it was nice to be able to sit there and relax and enjoy the movie on my own (without HIS obnoxious unnecessary laugh). A friend of mine texted me and he thought I was crazy for watching a movie alone and he insisted I shoulda called him but NAH I dont need a man to watch a movie w.puleeezeee.

I've also gotten my grades back. Not bad I guess, 3 B's and 1 A-. There's still one more grade I'm waiting on so we'll see. As crazy as class was everyday and how much I was looking forward to the break... I kinda miss learning haha sucha nerd I know. Next semester I will have NO DISTRACTION sooo I will kick ass.

My cousin Y has a place in the city that IS MY NEW CHILL SPOT when its lowkey. He said my sister and I can come over, light L's, watch blurays on his HUUUUGE tv and jus chill whenever. The 3 of us are going through break ups and the 3 of us are handling it really well.. So I guess my hangout situation wont change that much from when I was tied down only now it'll be all fun, no stress and no cigarette/grease stench.

A friend of mine calledme crying lastnight going through the same BS i went through. I told her to hold strong. She's serious about this single thing now cuz she didnt sleep and at 6am she changed her number which is understandable, he became physical w. her. NO MAN shold EVER hit a woman and if he does HE'S NOT WORTH SHIT (dont you ever forget it). Right now I'm going to try and be as supporttive as she was towards me because she needs me and I'm here for her. She can do this because she has alot going for her and he depends on her sooo he's going to be the one suffering the consequences. I told her to use her anger to make herself better and stronger. Tonight is girl's night and a bottle of wine and brownies could be the first step at healing a broken heart, it worked for me.

NEW YEARS! is tomorrow. Noplans yet ust invites to a few parties. We'll see what kinda mood I'm in and where the hotties aregonna be at hahaha I'm jk (kinda). I just want to enjoy my New Years.. so we'll see keep u posted.

I think I'm good for now. Enjoy the last few moments of '08. xo




PS: this is for you. I reached such a level of unhappiness with you that I knew you wouldnever be able to repair because you are below me. I thought I needed you but I was soooo wrong. I will never forget the thingsu did to me, and yes I was not perfect and I hurt you too BUT you were worse and YOU are the reason we failed and were destined to fail. FIX YOURSELF, figure out what the fuck is wrong w. you. Grow up alittle and take on some responsibility and focus on something. You told me that I didnt focus, last time I checked I'm about to have a bachelor's degree. I committed to school for FIVE YEARS and I'm going to law school. Youlazy and just so you know...your mom cant pay for EVERYTHING. It was nice knowing you but it will be even better forgetting you.
