#2011
Wooooow! Things have definitely changed in the past year. I just got done skimming through my page & so glad 2010 is over. Not that it was ever horrible to me because I always find blessings in even small things but just glad that a part of my life is over. The transition is always hard & harsh. 2010 was such an awakening for me, a year of transitioning for sure! Yes, I feel so much better now but don’t think it was easy for me. I struggled with it almost every day, some days not so much because of other matters I was concerned with, but most days yeah. It bothered me. And you know what else bothered me? The fact that I was the most affected. Why should I be burdened by people who are evil (believe me, they are). Why should I be burdened by people who lie & manipulate (I’m telling you, it’s true). Why should I be burdened by people who only use & abuse & steal (I ain’t lyin)…
And the truth is, it’s because my family raised me right. I was wronged & that’s the normal reaction to people who have hurt you. And for those who are delusional, don’t even share facts & stories about what really happened! Some people still ask me to this day…”ohhh so you guys don’t talk anymore????” “that’s strange, you guys were bffs” And what I should’ve said was “Have u asked her what happened???” LOL!
You’re right you’re right, the past is past and it’s 2011 for crying out loud! I guess what I’m saying is, I’m glad I did it! I’m glad I had the balls to let go and the balls to say “No, I don’t want your friendship” In the end, the truth, integrity & true love are more important than having a clique. Friendships that are based on money, sexual weirdness (like sticking your tongue out kind of pics pretending you’re into each other type of crap..ha!), popularity and every bullshit you can think of that constitutes this sham as friendship- is not real. Life is all about the quality of people you bring in it. In other words, the crappier your friends are, the crappier your life will be! Plain & simple!
So 2011 is the year of no regrets! The year of chasing dreams with people that matter most! Cherish the people who deserve your time…I know I will!

Shelf Life
As I was going through my pantry today looking for things to throw away, I noticed something that reminded me a lot of relationships. Shelf Life. Shelf life according to Wikipedia, is the length of time that food, drink, medicine and other perishable items are given before they are considered unsuitable for sale or consumption. Relationships are the same way. How long does it take for a relationship to go sour? What does it take for it to go bad? Food has different factors and elements that help decompose it. In relationships, there are also several in mind: disloyalty, dishonesty, selfishness, mistrust, self-centeredness, phoniness.(Don’t you wish you can find a friend with a “best before” sign on his/her forehead?) The list goes on and on and different situations can be applied. In mine, however, I’ve asked myself plenty of times “Am I Crazy?” (Is this a sequel to my previous blog?) Is it really ME as I’ve been told? If that was true, then how come I’m able to keep friends with “preservatives”, meaning long-lasting without a shelf life? How come I have friends who have been my friends since childhood, highschool, college, work, etc? So is it really me? Just because you are affected by my words and my writing, does not constitute me as a bad friend/person. My blogs don’t total my actual being and what I’ve done with you and for you as a friend. You, however, who have been affected, are affected, and/or will be affected by my blogs should ask yourself this: “Have I done something wrong?” The answer is YES, my friend. And in total honesty, it’s ok for me to write about how I feel. It’s either your face or this blog…pick one. So I guess it’s safe for you to assume that I’m not gonna stop writing how I feel. Whether it stings or not; Whether you agree or not; Whether you believe or not. These blogs are mine. These blogs are for me and my sanity. YOU chose to read it. And so my friends, good luck with finding REAL people who you can call friends. REAL people you can trust and REAL people who DON’T have a shelf life.
Lord God Almighty
I wonder what makes people unappreciative of the things around them & the people that truly care about them? It’s to the point they are just absolutely rude like their momma taught them wrong instead of right! But no, I know for a fact their momma taught them right coz the brother came out right. Hmmmm I really wonder. Lord God please help me through days like these when my patience is tested and I have had enough. I give and I give coz Im that way but enough is enough! Three strikes and you’re out! In this case, not just 3 but 300!
sister sister
it’s been way too long and today it finally happened. i promised myself that i would document it when i finally find her but right now words escape me. it’s such an amazing feeling to finally talk to someone that has always been a part of me. i only found out about her at the age of 21. my mom and i had a rift and she finally told me the truth about who i was (where i came from, etc). that was the only time she ever mentioned that i am adopted and that my “twin sister was adopted by another family.” ….wait what??? twin sister??? i suddenly felt like van damme in double impact! are you kidding me? i would always joke around as a kid saying i would love to have a twin sister because of all the tricks i would play with her as my sidekick. but never did i imagine in a million years that i really did have a twin sister! i had no information about her whatsoever. all i had was hope that we could meet someday.
today it happened! my aunt from a province where we all grew up somehow had her information…number, email, workplace. it turns out, she’s been looking for me for years. i’m meeting her tomorrow. 9:00am. tomorrow i start a friendship, sisterhood, & lifelong bond i’ve always wanted. closure? no. it’s just the beginning…<3
