I didn’t wanna be known as a selfish blogger who doesn’t tell her readers about herself. So I just wanted to share a few things about myself that you might find interesting. You may not necessarily agree with some of the things that I say but I’m sure that you’ll respect me more if I’m honest versus lying my ass off. So here it goes:
I’m from Cleveland but I’ve lived in Atlanta for about twelve years (minus the year that I spent in Pittsburgh). When I moved to Atlanta, I was about twenty-two years old with nothing but $238 to my name. Life has been one helluva rollercoaster ride since I’ve been in Georgia but I’m still here. The best part about Atlanta is this area called Little Five Points. That’s my hang-out spot. It’s the culture district and if you was to ever take a trip down there, you will understand what I mean. You may see someone down there with purple hair and tattoos all over their body and nobody will think that it’s weird.
On some days, I go on about my day without spending time with God…and I don’t know why. But one thing is for sure: I don’t like that I’m not spending more time with Him and I’m trying to make it a habit to spend time with Him EVERYDAY. I don’t wanna allow the issues of life to take my mind off of Him but sometimes they do. However, I do love God with all of my heart and I definitely recognize that He is the reason why I breathe.
I’m a firm believer that there’s much more to life than just paying bills. I’m definitely not saying for anyone to be irresponsible. In fact, I work very hard to pay mine and I try my best to stay on top of things. But I’m also a firm believer that you must LIVE. So many people are dying a slow death and they don’t even know it because all they do is spend their time paying bills. They forget to live their lives. So my motto is: Be responsible but be happy.
So far, I’m dealing with the gruesome task of losing at least 70 pounds but it’s hard because my guilty pleasure is Jamaican food. I LOVE their oxtail stew, beef patties, curry goat, jerk chicken, and fried dumplings. (I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.) But since I recently lost at least 20 pounds in a month, I’ve been motivated to stay on course. Diabetes and high blood pressure runs rapid in my family an I’m not trying to catch either one of those life interruptions.
I don’t have any kids but I hope that God will bless me with a child someday. I’ve always wanted a little girl with eyes like mine. But sometimes, I’m afraid that it’s not gonna happen because there are soooo many diseases out here in the world and I most certainly don’t wanna catch a thing. Although I want a child someday, I’m not looking for the actual relationship part with anyone. I don’t have time for that foolishness. I rather have the child instead because I know that my child will love me forever. Men come and go.
I have ten siblings and I love them all very much. Considering the fact that the majority of them live in Pittsburgh, I kinda get sad because I’m so far away from them. We don’t always get along but we’re still family. I have a huge family on my mom and my dad’s side and I enjoy every moment that I get to spend with them. But of course, there’s always those few relatives that choose to be distant and not socialize with the family that much for whatever reason. But I love them anyway.
My dad is my buddy. We didn’t always have the best relationship as I was growing up but life is too short to hold grudges. We’ve talked, let the past be the past, and have developed a great father/daughter relationship. I love spending time with him because he always have something intriguing to say. He’s funny at times and I always have great conversations with him. He absolutely love to talk about politics whereas I don’t really have an interest in that subject. But I still sit there and listen, simply because I love spending time with him.
I love my mom very much and I enjoy the times that we spend together. However, I’ve quickly realized that we get along a lot better when we’re not always around each other. She was a single parent to both me and my brother, Elliott, when I was growing up. We’re both strong-headed people and so we seem to bump heads quite often. Our relationship is a strange one…and that’s all there is to it.
I absolutely love to get involved with feeding the homeless because when I was growing up, there were times when me and my family were damn near at that point. We’ve went hungry a lot of times and even had to stay in an abandoned building. So I understand what they go thru. I try to feed them and give them toiletries every chance I get.
I have yet to visit such places like California, New York, Italy, London, and my birth place of San Antonio. But I look forward to seeing all of these places and many more.
My dream/goal is to be the best-selling author that this world has even seen…or at least one of them. It’s not a far-fetched thing either because I am very diligent in everything that I do. I have a bachelor’s degree in Communications and have yet to work in that field because honestly, the jobs that are in that field wants someone with at least 5 years experience. But I’ve been communicating all of my life….isn’t that enough? But I guess that it doesn’t matter anyway considering the fact that I what I really want to do is WRITE and drink wine.
