Time




They say absence makes the heart grow fonder , but time always allows for people to grow apart. Sometimes there is good reason to distance one's self from someone else. Whether it be a break, opportunity, disagreement, and sometimes it's just life. Moving on with your life sometimes means leaving others behind. People who do not contribute anything positive to your life or situation are people not necessary. Seasonal individuals are often in your life just for a short period of time...to serve some purpose and then they are gone. Often times this leaves a person feeling as if their time was wasted, but trust that it was not. This person might've showed you something within yourself that you didn't know. They might've given you some sort of life lesson about who and who not to deal with or how to handle certain things.

Time is something of importance to me. Being the impatient person that I am, I like to be ON time and I also don't like to feel that my time has been wasted. Those two things are a HUGE thing for me. I know that some things take time. You shouldn't RUSH into situations, relationships, agreements, etc. This I know....but I know that I value my time. Don't like to miss opportunities because someone else has agreed to use a certain "block" of time and because of this I turn down other offers for this time. A little consideration of others and communication is all it takes to make the difference between MAD/UPSET and understanding.

Time is precious and it should be treated as such. We don't know when our time will be up...so we have to make the most of the time we DO have!

My Warning Label



People always ASSUME they know you or what you are about, however, if they aren't in your TRUE immediate circle then they are really making assumptions or going off of only what they do know or what someone else has told them. Well, if you want to know me in a nutshell..then know that I am HONEST. I look out for my FRIENDS. If I consider you a FRIEND and not an associate or someone to just hang out with to get out of the house (yep some people fall right into that category)...then know that I have your back. Nobody (not even ANOTHER "FRIEND")will have a pass to talk negatively about you in my presence. With that being said, my opinions and thoughts and actions are just that....MINE! I am not the president, GOD, a dictator, the Queen, etc. so I would hope that I do not have followers except on Twitter and those who "follow" this blog. I get accused of passing my opinions on others ALL the time. Crazy thing is, most of the time it's people who are older than me. Really? I didn't know I was that powerful that I can make someone do a total 180 about their feelings towards something or someone. And likewise, who my friends like, where they go, what they do, who they do.....that is on THEM. That does not mean that is how I roll or what I think. I am my own person. I live my own life and make my own decisions. If you don't like it...you don't have to deal with it. People I choose to have in my circle are MY choice. Trust and believe that I think out EVERYTHING that I do. I don't do anything just because it's the "in" thing to do....or because that's what one of my friends thinks/does...or because someone told me I should. Every decision I make is MY own and I take responsibility for each and every one of those decisions. I have a reason for doing the things I do. I look out for those who look out for me....shit on me...and get shitted on. I am not a "Tit for Tat" kind of person...instead I let the natural flow of things occur. I totally believe in Karma so I don't even have to retaliate. So if/when I chose to not ride with, be cool with, associate with, and/or discuss my life with certain individuals anymore....it's not because I just woke up and wanted to be a b***h that day. It's because I have reason to. It's 2011, and I'm done having negative/phony/immature/trifling people around me. If you aren't adding value to my life then you are being subtracted from it. Enough said. I have enough genuine people in my life that the loss of a FEW bad apples won't stop the harvest.

I'm not the most emotional person. I don't wear my feelings on my sleeve and because of this I probably come off harsh to those who do. I don't smile alot, unless I'm acting completely crazy around friends and fam which is what I enjoy doing. I like being around people who like to ENJOY themselves. Can't stand being around uptight, death of the party kind of individuals. The insecure need to keep it moving!

My life is changing ALOT these days...and definitely for the better. I've come to realize plenty of things within myself that I needed to change in order to achieve things I want to achieve. I've also come to realize that some things I thought I needed/wanted in my life, weren't really the business. All that glitters isn't gold and I believe some of these "wishful thoughts" were definitely gold plated. I'm ready for whatever life has in store for me. I've been through plenty of storms and rain, I feel that my rainbow is on its way!
