Celebrating a life--for all it's worth.

France! I'm getting kind of excited...

My 21st birthday is coming in a couple of weeks and it's not just an event that celebrates my awesomeness (joke.), but a time of introspection to see how I've become the "woman" I am today. As much as I bitch about not being able to celebrate my 21st with my friends at home, i really would like to just have a date with myself on the 23rd and go to a cafe in paris and read books and take photos and celebrate my independence.

Sometimes I ask myself how I've been able to maintain a fairly balanced andrather optimistic attitude on life. Some of it stems from selfishness, others from selflessness. But whatever the reason, it's learning to take care of myself. That in this crazy fucking world, if something goes bad or good, you're the one accountable for letting yourself feel that way. So on August 23rd, some major changes, or shall i say "improvements" will take place.

*Physical--take care of my body.
*Mentally--don't depend on others for self-worth--depend on yourself.
***Spiritually--get back in touch with the man upstairs and thank him every single day for saving a wretched soul like me. more importantly, pray for the people i hold dear to my heart.

This is it....after a couple months or so, the real world is going to test my limits based on 21 years of life experience. I can't wait to see what the future has in store.

Signing off,
Me.
