049. Happy 2008.

As 2007 came to a close I realized many many things. I truly believe that I have grown the most in 2007 in comparison to any other years. I know that is not saying much considering that one does not change dramatically until a bit older; however, 2007 was a rocky, bumpy, exciting road that I danced upon. I'm thankful I saw it happen. Yes..saw. 2007 is at a close and I have 2008 at my fingertips. I love new years. I love a brand new start and brand new ideas. Each year people grow. Growing can be closer, apart, taller, skinnier, larger...you get the idea. Growth is an unavoidable subject in life. It comes and goes without one even knowing it is occuring at times. Life moves fast. I keep up in a positive way. Dance with me in 2008. To wrap it up...heres many important things I learned in 2007:

1. Transfering schools a few times does not mean I'm indecisive; I'm exploring my options.

2. Writing is a passion. Speaking comes in at a close second.

3. I enjoy cheeto hot fries...more than you do.

4. Having two phones does not make you cooler than everyone else. It makes you more inconvenienced...aaand a tiiiny bit cooler..maybe.

5. I am a music genius. A real live jukebox if you will.

6. I have found my best friends. Finally I have found some of the most genuine people on the planet who enjoy me for me.

7. I have also found that life throws me curveballs more than most people. Good thing I know how to hit.

8. I am through with dating for a long time. I need to get my life together before I add an attatchment to the list.

9. We live in a society that is hard to keep an actual word. I hold no respect for those who have broken their word with me. I do hurt, despite my lack of outside emotions.

10. I have the best family in the world. I am finally realizing how truly lucky I am to have been blessed with amazing parents, sisters, and extended relatives.

11. Living in the present is so much better than the past or future. Buddhism anyone?

12. I make a lot of mistakes. I like that I make a lot of mistakes. It shows I'm human, I have faults, and that I can grow with each and every fault I hold.

13. I've gotten my car towed many times in 2007. I'm not sure why. Those tow truck guys sure do like to halla at a girl though.

14. I've fallen in love with soul, jazz, and old school funk. When hip hop was hip hop and nothing more than powerful words and beats that grabbed you by the ears and made you listen.

15. Theres a fine line between being a mouthpiece and meaning what you say. I have yet to find the line.

16. I was able to spend new years eve with the greatest people on the planet. My people. People who have been there..and will continue to stay there. There was no other way I would have liked to bring in 2008.
