they come and go......
I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.

Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.
Reality
Recently I’ve found myself bogged down in the real world. All my head space has been taken up by thoughts on money, my education, my job, what my choices are for the future, my relationship, my friendships and all the petty drama that surrounds day-to-day life. It’s all worry, worry, worry, and few of the things I worry about are things I can actually control right now. I don’t know if I’ll make it through my degree and graduate, but If I’ll give all my best I know I can, I don’t know if I can be a good teacher to my future student, or what kind of job I’ll have, and I don’t know if my relationship with my boyfriend will last in the long-term; these are simply wait and see things that I can’t figure out now. I make myself so unhappy thinking and worrying about all these things. My brain seems to take this as a signal to suddenly start shouting every problem I have, expecting a solution where there are none.
I used to be such a dreamer. My favorite pastime was daydreaming. I was constantly told I was too much inside my head; but I liked it there, I was happy. Is it that the older you get, the less you live in your own world and are forced to live in the real one, the less happy you are?I just realize today that i am a REAL DREAMER, that this is what makes me happy, that’s how long its been since I’ve let myself relax and just imagine whatever makes me happy; to see my life positively. Because most of the time I am steeped in the reality, which seems to only be stress and struggle, and quite mundane.
But now I remember it doesn’t have to be like that, I can sit back, close my eyes, and create the life I want to have, experience things out of my reach right now. Even just the thought of going to my own made up life for just a little while has lifted my spirit. Sometimes I guess all you can do is tell yourself that the worries you have can’t be helped right now, and retire to a good daydream, filled with hope and happiness.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
It’s the last day of 2011 & I can’t believe the year went by so quickly. Looking back on this year, I can say this year was filled with massive progress for me. As the year approaches to an end, it is the time of the year where once again, we are inevitably drawn to reflect on the events of previous year.
Like every year, some unfortunate incident happened, I made wrong decisions, I cried, I hurt, argue with my parents, lost my temper, quarrel with my close friends and did so many things that I am not proud of. But, there’s no reason for me to dwell on the negative part of my 2011. I just want to leave them behind and carry the learning’s they taught me as I enter 2012. More than anything, I am grateful for good health and the miracle that is life. There are so many thoughts running around my head. So many things waiting in the New Year. Will I be ready for them? Am a stronger, whole, and anticipating what is yet to come? It is a great comfort to know I am loved. That God has been so generous with his arms wide open so I can burrow in them in laughter and in tears. Every triumph, no matter how big or small and even when so many questions are still begging for answers, I know there is a reason for everything.
As I enter 2012, I know it will be full of challenges and trials, I guess my work will be more demanding and stressful along with school schedule that made my life miserable this year but I am ready to accept and face them all. Who knows what 2012 hold in store for me? For all I know I have HIM in me. I just always need to be strong and will say: “I’M READY!”
