i wrote a letter today

It's not letting go and forgetting the past that helps us move forward. It's being able to look back at the past, reflect and not get upset that enables us to move forward in life. i'm trying to look back and smile not cry. i think i'm doing better.

"We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude."--Charles R. Swindoll

i love when i know things

yahoo posted a list of life lessons from movies based on high school.
the best part about this list is i have seen all the movies and love the quotes they pulled.
the quotes are:
The Breakfast Club (1985)-"We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all."
Heathers (1989)-
"If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being. You'd be a game-show host."
10 Things I Hate About You (1999)-
"Just because you're beautiful doesn't mean you can treat people like they don't matter."
Mean Girls (2004)-
"Calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter... All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you."
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)- "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

i may not be in high school anymore but all this still applies.

my rules.

Yesterday a family friend said to me-
"Honey wear your heels EVERYday."
i smiled and said-
"Why look a mess when you don't have to?"

i don't wear my heels everyday but its rare to catch me in a pair of sneakers.
(chucks don't count since you can't run in them)

i have more personal rules i will share them periodically

There has been a lot going on.
it's the last full week of school and i have just been going through a lot.
i am doing well though.
i'm almost done my freshman year at DePaul University!
i am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason and karma's a bitch.
i'm trying to be more positive and let life happen. You meet some really beautiful people along the way.


Recently i was feeling especially optimistic i made a list of things i like.




I like..
  • Lists
  • Kisses
  • Friends
  • Foreign films
  • When class is over
  • Nail polish (i finally found a blue similar to the one in Beyonce's video)
  • Rings
  • Peach ice tea
  • naps
  • Freshly pressed hair
  • Nice boys
  • Crossword puzzles (especially finished ones)
  • Moisturized legs
  • Clean sheets
  • Texting
  • Finishing homework early (rarely happens)
  • Shoes
  • Taking my shoes off
  • The sun and the Beach

my valentine


you make shameful decisions but its ok...so do i.

"Val i need help"-- "Ok, I'm not the lord so results may vary"

OOOO BABY.....

i fell...

True fcukin story!



conclusions we have come to:
  • lace front weaves are only acceptable for Beyonce everyone else looks busted
  • people act crazy when its warm
  • the redline is not safe for young women early in the morning
  • "were you drunk when you did that?" is sadly never the reason for our behavior—we are just crazy
  • when all else fails burst into song
  • i'm biased towards amazons

whats goin on

i am in Chicago and despite my recent attitude i really do love Chicago and DePaul. i'm determined to be okay. I may not be ok right now but i will be. My Daddy taught me that.

i'm gonna try and take some more pictures and get back in the gym and dance. pictures and dance always add stability to my fluctuating emotional levels.

my eyes are green

I'm so confused
You tried to trick me yeah
Ooh, ooh, oh
Never knew that love could hurt like this
Never thought I would but I got dissed
Makes me feel so sad and hurt inside
Feel embarrased so I want to hide
Silly me I thought your love was true
Change my name to Silly E. Badu
Before I heal, it's gonna be a while
I know it's gonna be a while, chile

i heart e. badu
