"Only just a friend the love story begins
Now here's a happy ending to believe in..."

CHANGE. HOPE. PROGRESS. INSPIRATION.

It's still overwhelming knowing that we're living in such a time of incredible HOPE & CHANGE. How lucky we are to experience history in the making! When President Obama speaks, I swear, he puts chills down my spine. He makes me feel inspired, hopeful, and proud to be an American. Although we won this battle, we still have a lot more to endure. Barack still has to prove himself and live up to all his promises. But that is why I voted for him. I have faith that he is the man who can put our country in the right direction and unite us all in peace and prosperity. 

The feeling I felt watching his victory speech is the THE feeling that I've been craving -- hope, inspiration, passion, compassion, ---that good feeling in my soul! His words had me in tears.

However, my soul is still hungry. Good music, inspiring conversations, spoken word, poetry, good literature, beautiful sights, helping others, giving, learning, God, family-- a sense of purpose.....THAT is what I'm hungry for! I'm going on a church retreat in two weeks..I've never been on a retreat before, let alone ever been really religious, so I'm hoping to gain and give a lot from this experience. 

Oh, Life. You never let me stop learning and wanting more, do ya! And that is why I love you so! I don't ever wanna settle in complacency or stop learning and absorbing all that I can.

Peace, Love & Happiness

Jah Bless. <3

Not even 24hrs after the last blog and I already feel different. Haha.

I went to church today and after communion I knelt down and I started crying! It's been so long since I've been in touch with God.

Don't really want to put it all out there, but I wanna change my pace in my lifestyle. I feel like since I've been in LA, I've just been numb-- having materialistic pleasures. Studying to get good grades. Going to work to make money. Going out to get the most of the moment. Don't get me wrong -- I'm happy but...I dont only wanna feel good on the outside...I wanna feel good IN MY SOUL. I miss having that tingly good feeling of inspiration, passion, compassion...something deeper than external enjoyment. 

If you get me on this..props to ya.

Life, uplift me. 

I feel like I'm exactly where I need to be in life. 

Everything is going smooth in all aspects.

Family-

unquestionably always good. Baby Jalen is walking now! My mom sent me a video when I was in class, and I started to tear up. Ha! Jojoe is getting too old. And I don't like that, but whatever. Lol.

Friends-

So lucky to be surrounded by the ones that I am. Nothing but Love all around. I've got the downest folks ever. We have been having so much fun lately. Laughs, sober silliness, intoxicated fun, teammate love in flag football, endless roommate fun...I love it. 

School-

Well, I guess this aspect could be improved. Ha! It has been tough but I'm really buckling down after this Halloween weekend. 

Boys-

" I'm not a playa, but I crush a lot..." =)

Work & Internship

 same ol'. No update. Ha. 

I'm at peace in my heart and in my head. It feels really goood to be content with who I am and where I am. =)
