Blogaversary
I can't believe it. I've been writing on this blog for a year now.
I actually sat here and read through all the stuff that I have been through or thats been on my mind since I started this thing.
I started this thing as a place to get all the things that were jumbled up in my mind out. I was in a city that I wasn't in love with... in the midst of getting closure after leaving a person that I was in love with... and trying to find myself in general when I began this thing. The blog was like free therapy for me.
At times I sat in my apartment/house/hotel (wherever I was blogging) and was cracking up at myself and other times I'd be doing the straight up ugly cry (The ugly cry which Oprah identifies as the kind that makes your lips tremble and your face contract and your eyes get all puffy lol) and other times I'd be happy about stuff or just be nostalgic and have me a good cry (not to be confused with the ugly cry, the good one is when the tears slip from your eyes in streams. It's a pretty cry, a graceful cry lol.)
I must say that I have had some interesting experiences through out the year.
I forgot all about...
*the guy I saw poplocking and harlem shaking in the wheelchair (I have this on tape gotta find it)
*my wine club meetings when I had Bartenura Moscato D'asti and fell in love with that drink to the point where it's always in my house
*the guy who told me he wanted to talk to me but there was a technicality... he was married
*Ripping my ex boyfriend a new asshole in a post and having the satisfaction of knowing he read it lmao
*Me ranting about people getting pregnant and then a few months later about them being bad parents lol
*Me deleting a post because I hurt a persons feelings... but I should have left that shyt up they need to man up lol
*Talking about my soulmate... I never knew I dedicated an entire entry to that fool but he's my homeboy for life lol
*doing my fashion no no's
*writing militant black woman posts that scared the mess out of my classmates in my grad program
I swear it's been a wild and crazy year. This blogging shyt is quite addictive I tell you and I have met some cool people and gotten into my friends minds just by doing this... but enough with all the talk like I'm getting an oscar. I wanted to republish my favorite post down here because I love it and it still applies

Imagine yourself a blank canvas. A clean sheet of paper. A long stretch of open road and space. This is the journey before the journey. The part where you get to have a say in the matter, before everyone else butts in and tries to have their say and create rules. Now it is up to you. Show everyone what you are made of. Prove that you are not just another face in the crowd. Don't go unnoticed. And please don't ever try to blend in. Life is what you make of it.
