happy birthday to an old friend...no pun intended!
Just a special friend that I go wayyyyyyy back with. Been almost 10 years?
I swear we used to get into so much trouble together, lol. I remember chem class and being kicked out for playing cards, then having lunch detention and getting kicked out of there too...for playing cards ...such a rebel lol. Then there was the last semester of high school where our schedules matched...up to night school...fun times.
Time can really fly...but don't worry, I won't forget you ;)

I am who I am...
Yes, biblical times are on my mind..well just a biblical quote.
Chances are good that you've heard of the ten commandments? Even if your religion doesn't follow them, you've heard of them. There've been a few movies over the past decades about the commandments. I know I've seen the movies but can't remember them...what I can remember is the part where 'God' says "I am that I am" in response to Moses asking God's name.
That's always stayed with me, that line.
Over time as I grew up, I realized I am who I am.
In 24 years, I've seen a lot in my life. These experiences have made me who I am and even though there've been some tragedies, I'd like to believe this was all supposed to be.
I've learned never to hold back, always live life to the fullest.
If you have something to say, why keep it inside? Where will that get you?
We have one life, this one...so why not make the most of it?
I've come to realise that time waits for no one. Your perfect life today can be turned upside down tomorrow so why should you not capitalize on every moment you have now?
If tomorrow never comes, have you done enough today to let those close to you know how much they mean? Maybe they don't care to know but the real question is do you care that they know?
I am who I am, and I don't waste time. Yes, it may take me a while to trust but once I do and a connection is formed, trust me you'll know :)
I used to be so afraid of that but now, I could care less...life's too short.
People say never have regrets, but you know what..there will be things you do that you really can't change but wish you could. Maybe it's not a regret but it is something you look back on ruefully. As it is, every minute that goes by is one less minute you have to live.
I believe you have two choices in life:
1) be a player in the game of life or
2) watch from the sidelines as life passes you by.
The choice is ours to make...and everyone will choose what suits them, the key is never to change your choice to fit someone elses.
REALLY...you've gotta be you because if you were me, you wouldnt be you! Lol...

back to basics
It seems like I've got a few too many posts about how I've returned to my blog but realllyyyyy now..this time I have come back after almost a 2 year hiatus.
That's a long time...but doesn't matter, I'm back :) Over time I tried to start another blog but this is where it's at, gotta stick with it.
2 years...wow, I would say time flew by but really, there were moments where time seemed to crawl along.
I started a new job back in december'06. I'm not a stickler for working, but this job was awesome. I met soo many people that really became part of my life. People say things happen for a reason and if you're religious you can take it a step further and say that God has a plan for us all and everything that happens in life is supposed to happen for reasons only He knows.
I've come to accept that and the more I think about it, I know it's true for me.
As I was saying, I met some amazing people...I even made a best friend. It was like I found another version of myself. Her morals and values were just like mine and I could be myself with her. Over the past year, she became such a good friend, she knew me well. Whenever I was undecided about anything, I could always just tell her about the situation and she'd know what to do. I always thought to myself that I would do anything I could for this friend because she is so important to me.
Now, time's passed and change has come. My friend has moved away to follow her dreams, and I am here trying to build my dream. We're not in contact but I hope that one day we'll fix that.
REALLY...if the spice girls could re-unite, there's definitely hope for me and my friend...or my friend and I.
See, it was like she's Posh and I'm Ginger...or maybe she's Ginger and I'm Posh..point is, we're both stubborn and when we're crossed by someone, that's it.
I guess I did something wrong or overstepped my bounds and our friendship was put aside. And I AM sorry for whatever it was that happened.
It's rough, because now I feel as though I have lost this friend forever..
We all know, when you lose something you tend to look until you can't anymore or you find it.
Well, I know my friend and she knows me...so I know that one day we'll be okay. We've been through so much together and it's like anything reminds me of her which is good, I would never want to forget her and I hope she does not forget about me.
Everything takes time..and sometimes things happen in life so that we can be stronger and learn to survive.
Oh...and it's weird how things work...when one person goes out of your life, another walks in...
Well, God...if I have to lose this best friend to gain an old friend...NO...umm I mean no thank you.
Please, no... :)
So, now i'm back and although time's not the best right now, I have hope... and you know, hope rhymes with cope soo we'll see how that goes.
