My mother always says to me 'no one owes you living, if you want something you have to go get it yourself'. Whether that be a man, a job or a good bunch of friends, it is up to you to make it work'.
So as i lie in bed recovering from my birthday celebrations of the night before I am pondering, as one does, that at 31 have I made things that i want to happen really happen?
During my birthday celebrations this year, i surrounded myself with those who truely care for me. Granted that the numbers of those invited to attend have lessened over the years- at my 26th birthday i had a gathering of over 20 people-, I am confident that as my early 30's tick tock on that those I have chosen as friends are truely those who will have a positive influence in my life.
They are: my giggling partner from JLR whose big heart knows no bounds, Miss kiki from atlanta who supports my quest to find a good man and who i can dissect my love life with for hours at 4am, my inspirational friend who is all the way in australia whose words of 'keep people who build you close to you' has made me open my eyes, my sweet friend and mother to be whose positive thinking drives me on, the lovely Miss Ahnna you made me open my eyes to possibilities and last but not least my dear sister, who is like a truth board and is not afraid to tell me as it is.
Four months into 2010 I am making my own way through life with as fewer regrets as possible, friends and family that i love and a hope that one day my Reggie Bush look-a-like will come along and sweep me off my feet-sigh- if a girl cant wish this on her birthday then when can she.
