Don't Talk Back

"..YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR FUTURE AS CLEAR AS YOU CAN SEE YOUR PAST. VISION IT AND IT WILL HAPPEN."

LOVE.

When I can smile at something that used to make the very core of my soul ache. I have grown. Love is the ordinance I live by for now and ever as I've witnessed a lack there of. It's 4:06AM and I'm sitting in my room surrounded by books, unpainted walls, unfinished drawings, pictures of me and my dad in Antigua, sketches, clothes, Philosophy articles.. It's all in the early stages. Everything seems so unknown.

Everyday I am reminded of love, and true joy. I am so blessed. My life isn't perfect but I'm sooo blessed. I've been singing more and more. I'm in the process from switching my major from art to dance?.. I don't know where I want to go after Santa Monica but the East Coast keeps calling me back.. We'll see. Family's shifting. I've been a vegetarian for one year last month [& thinking about giving up milk.. that stuff's no good.] I'm going to be an auntie. I'm writing again. Biking again. Running again.. just appreciating every step that I take. I don't know where I'm headed. Just know I'm already gone.

SO YOU APPROACHED ME, MY LOVE AND DIDN'T REMAIN INTIMIDATED
GLAD YOU DID CAUSE ONCE YOU CAME YOU GOT MUCH MORE THAN ANTICIPATED

I love, I love, I love..

"You're 18, live it up."
Los

I'm 18. This is a major milestone. I'm considered an adult...weird. I'm about to graduate from high school with a Theatre Major sticker on my diploma. "I got a certain lust for life/ and as it stands" I get it! I get why things happen. All the drama and stuff that went down within the gates of Hami don't even matter when I think of all the beautifully amazing things that have happened there. I grew soo much. Going in acting coming out having an appreciation and some understanding of a grip of different creative outlets. NIGGA I SANG ON OPRAH AND FOR OBAMA! Four years ago I was in Virginia dreaming about where I am now. There isn't a day that I'm not grateful for everything I've been through and everything I have right now. BFFL kept me in her away all day & TD came over and dropped off my favorite coldstone ice cream :)

Okay so Friday was prom. My boo Joey was a bomb escort & he drove the Gto like a pro..mm. I had my Champagne Party with one of my really good friends, Brittany & her gigantic date. We went to prom but stopped at CVS for those 5 hour energy things.. it was a riot walking in, in full prom attire. Prom was cute outside on Main St. at Sony Studios. Congrats to Matt and Sasha Fierce to winning Prom King and Queen! It was doope seeing everybody dressed up, I think that was the best part of it all..everybody was so happy and gorgeous looking!

I wanted to post a really good picture of me in my dress but I have to get them from one of the people that took pictures at the CP. Of course now my all white silk chiffon dress is ridiculously dirty after the fact though.. lol
