...A Lesson called Life

Originally, I began this post on Jul 2nd, 2012 at 1:04:26pm and could not finish it ...saving it to my drafts. To say the least, I’m back at this again. Since my last post, so much has taken place and I’ve grown so much. Over the course of my journey, my biggest teacher has been Life...my experiences. As cliche as it seems, I’ve learned that nothing worth having comes easy. My friendships and relationships have become teaching tools as well and I’ve been able to do a great deal of self reflection. It’s a great but weird feeling to look over the course of your life and see things as if you were an outside party. Its true what they say, hindsight truly is 20/20 and there are so many missteps that have been made along the way. I have fail, been bruised, scarred, and at times felt as if I were running with a pack of wolves out on the prowl. At others, I’ve shared my peace with what I would call “wolves masquerading as sheep” or wolves in sheep's clothing. I’ve found myself questioning my abilities, beliefs, and the things I once held dearly. I ask..How do you survive when the foundation you have built everything upon suddenly shifts or crumbles from under you? I’ve learned that in these times...hold fast to your faith, think smarter, and double back and be prepared to work harder. In closing, I just want to acknowledge that growth is a beautiful

....Applications, Financial Aid & Life.

....Since I haven't posted any kind of updates lately, I figured I would log in and shed some light on my current status. I guess its safe to say that I am just "living life right now"....and going where the wind blows me. I guess the bad thing is that the wind has not successfully blown me anywhere as of recent. This move to Raleigh was the perfect opportunity for change and to finish up school but why is that when you're on the brink of a positive breakthrough you get hit with so many obstacles? I have applied to so many jobs and I find it funny that the headlining positions I was sure I had in the bag...amounted to nothing but wasted calls and follow-ups...guess I can say Never count your chickens before they hatch, right? I don't understand how employers can say a person needs to have experience, when no one is trying to hire an individual to give them that said experience. I'm currently stuck in a state of limbo where I have an impressive resume, however I am over-qualified for many positions and under-qualified for the others....Really?? I have scrambled to get all my financial aid paper work in, only to find out that I am ineligible for financial aid, when my financial situation has not changed much if any in the past 3-4 years?? It sucks that an individual can live own their on in a city 3 hours away from their parents and still must be considered dependent, and the funny thing is that none of the parental information matters because the individual is self-sufficient. Life is cracking up to be the biggest teacher for me these days and I do feel that nothing worth having comes easy, however on the other hand can I catch a break. For now I will continue to work my way through these issues in pursuit of coming out on top as usual but can I just have something given to me without  so much of a fight for once? Until then only time will tell...I guess Heaven only knows. Right?

...New Chapter.

Lately....to say the least... I've been neglecting my place here **shrugs**. BUT...I'm back to drop some thoughts here and give them a place to stay. I have been moving a mile a minute lately....non stop trying to get everything situated for the next chapter in my life. Its funny because they say when one door closes....usually another opens, and I feel that this is the case here. I will be saying hasta to "Home"....but I'm closing this chapter in order to begin a new chapter....one that is going to get me to the place I want to be in life. With every new thing, I feel as humans we are cautious and get nervous....so the feelings I have now are normal. Its a mix of excitement, enthusiasm to work, determination, fear of the unknown, and having to start over. I'm happy for the experiences I have had here, however I will be moving on for new experiences. Growth is always positive, as with new experiences we learn more and more about ourselves and with each interaction we become more and more of the person we are destined to become. As with anything I will approach with goals and expectations of what I have to achieve. Don't be afraid to jump out of the nest and spread your wings, after all how else will you learn to fly?? IM READY!

....THE PAST.

Drizzy said it best with these lyrics "Cause you got a past and I do too...we're perfect for each other"....but can we honestly say that? Can you say that a persons past can be completely erased and that we move on and start new? I feel that to a certain degree, the past is the past, however when your past constantly threatens or causes friction in your future then there's an issue. We cannot go back and erase or redo the things that we did yesterday, but we can control some of the factors today. I hate the feeling of being victim to my past, for the most part its done and left to dry out, however the resentment I felt for specific things or situations have forever changed my views as a person. I'm not sure if I question too much or if my over caution demeanor is a hindering factor in my love life, but its something I wish I would turn the hell off. So I find myself at this good place now, great, amazing and then comes the feelings of fear. The past has made me so damn cautious and its only because I fear the repeat of a familiar bad situation. I guess this is a daily learning experience that one must go through in life. For now i'll take it day by day and place a leash around those things from the past...to live for my future, cause in the end...we all want the same thing.
