One Year Ago...

I was a baby in The Bay.

I still am a baby, not knowing where to drive in The City but at least I have EWM to help me find my way.

I took an extended Father's Day weekend vacation back home.

It gave me time to clear my mind.

After doing errands around the "hood" and seeing my Mom do her physical/aqua therapy I don't feel so guilty about being up here.

It's something that I needed and wanted to do.

This path was made for me to follow.

In this year of being "independent" I've grown into a more mature person.

I finally know what I want to achieve for myself.

Having the courage, hope and will to pursue those dreams and wants is what is most difficult but with great support, maturity, determination and dedication, it can be done.

Somehow during this past year of my own growth I believed that others would grow also but I failed to see that, then again, there is more that meets the eye.

I always wonder how my path ended up here.

Why am I not like the other girls I went to school with...

Married or In a Relationship.

Somehow figured out what they want "to do" for the rest of their life and are in that career right now.

Still living in SD.

Still attached to high school friends.

Then again, I was always different from all the other girls.

Although in high school I belonged to a group of girl friends, I always had a group of guy friends.

When you get older, those guys find girlfriends and I progress to a different group of guys.

I'm not mad at being different. 

My story will always be unique and that I am happy about.

I have the greatest group of friends in The Bay and in SD.

I love my best friend, who will always be like a brother to me.

I love EWM, who will always have my heart as being my favorite people and are the best people in The Bay.

I love the few girls in my life, who will always bring me enough female estrogen.

I love the new challenge I will be taking on in my life, which is the pursuit of getting into law school.

I aint mad at being different.

The boyfriend will come, in due time.

The career will come after Law School.

The group of girl friends probably won't come, since I don't really like girls... 

but my life is just lovely now and will continue to be.

Remember Who You Are

Seems like we're on a musical streak.
Saw The Lion King this past Saturday and although I didn't sob my eyes out like I did during Wicked and the movie UP, I did shed a tear or two.
Every time I see the opening of The Lion King I choke up.
I watch it on youtube every so often whenever I need a good cry.
During the musical there was so much to take in that I didn't have time to cry.
There were animals coming down the aisle and birds flying on the balcony.

Most books, stories, movies, musicals send a message out.
The message I always get from The Lion King is the "remember who you are" line that Mufasa says to Simba.
Reminds me of my Dad and the small talks he used to give me about advise, living and even loving.
So I guess The Lion King comes at a good time in my life.
My Dad used to always tell me to try my best and pursue my dreams even if they are difficult to obtain.
Through it all, I will remember who I am, where I came from and who I am achieving my goals for.

Channel 933 Geena The Latina's Blog

Was listening to Aj's playhouse this morning on iheartradio and heard this blog that made me feel better than how I was feeling when I woke up.

Good Morning everyone. I found something online that I thought would be a good Friday blog. It's called:

A Lesson in Life

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks you heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen.

Hold your head up because you have every right to.

Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

 

Have a great weekend everyone.
