New Year, New Ashes

"When your head is in a certain place
Nobody around to make you safe
Stand strong and you will grow
Oh
Wait till you see my smile"

-Alicia Keys, Wait 'Til You See My Smile

So although I'm a few days late, I would love to wish everyone a happy new year!! New Year's was very special to me this year. I spent it with my best friends and it was amazing just laughing and talking with them again. I haven't done that in quite some time with school and everything. Not to mention the $3 Smirnoffs hit the spot :).

With a new year came a new sense of mind and soul. For the past few days, I've been in quite high spirits if I do say so myself, and I really do feel as if I can make it through this year. I wake up every morning/afternoon and don't mind being up, whether I'm in the house or going to the store. Maybe the new year is a placebo, and if it is then it's working.

I still have quite a few friends that I need to catch up with. I'm not leaving until I've seen most to all of the important people that have graced my life in one form or another. And hopefully this dude stops making 2 Girls 1 Cup references...or I'mma give him something to refer to...Other than that, my relationship is steadily heading back on track the more I learn how to handle one's busy schedule and climb to success.

As I have referred to countless times, a phoenix always dies in the fire and rises in the ashes. 2009 has been my fire; it's time for the ashes of 2010 to bring me some prosperity and accomplishment. Wait 'til they see my smile...
