Good For Me
I am so grateful to have a family like the one I have… it is always good times with them and I really can’t imagine my life without them… We drove down to San Bernardino from LA and we were talking the whole way down. My sister told me a story about a blind man on the sidewalk that had a sign that said, “help me, i’m blind.” People that were passing by would give him money but not alot. Then a lady went up to him and changed what his little sign said. People started giving the man a lot more money. When he asked the lady what she had written she said, “the same thing you had written but I re-phrased it.” The sign now read, “Its a beautiful day but I can’t see it, I’m blind.” This instantly got me teary eyed. Two things- 1. I try to constantly remind myself of the good times I have in life. Although theres alot of things going on out of my control, things could be a lot worse right now. I try to appreciate everything around me because I don’t know if tomorrow is coming. 2. the power in words. You can say the same thing a lot of ways but if you use the words in a certain way, they make a lasting impact on people.
The pictures are from today, my parents, aunts, uncles, sisters, cousins, and brother were all happy. Its been a while since I’ve felt this sense of real happiness in my family. My immediate family, we have some good times and most of the time are happy but I feel like it hasnt been like that with my extended family. So needless to say, it felt good to have just a plain old good time with them, free of drama, free of gossip, just good times. I can’t wait til im older and have my kids and expose them to this… I also enjoy going to San Bernardino to get away from the city. I don’t really notice it while Im in LA but sometimes I just need to get away from the artificiality that I can so easily get caught up in. Thankful for today, thankful for the future, this is all good for me.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that we played freeze tag… best day ever!

I’ve never been one to go crazy and celebrate the new year as a big party-er… This year I ended up going to Riverside and hanging out with a small but close group of my girls… As I looked around at the women sitting besides me I realized one thing… My situation might not be ideal at the moment but I am in this situation for a reason, what that reason is, I don’t really know, but I do know that I am doing a lot of soul searching and figuring out what I really want to do with my life… Music has always been a passion of mine and I am trying to figure out what I can do with my degree in Sociology to be able to work in the music industry… Then at the same time, I want to have a stable career in terms of a 9-5 paycheck… I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I’ve been, the decisions that we make now, have lasting impacts for the future and I’m okay with that… I’ve learned that I need to be patient and that something good is waiting for me at the end of the tunnel… After all this is said and done, the outcome will be Good for Me…
Now Playing - Love this song!!!
