Traveling

I feel like I have been bitten by a bug that transmits an incurable disease known to us as the traveling bug! I want to leave, leave, leave!! I want to be out of this country... for at least 2 weeks! We've been planning, but nothing has been solidified. I'm literally itching to vacate and relax, and release. Who is with me!?

This is where I want to go... this is where I need to go!

Words cannot express how I felt when I heard the news. "Michael Jackson is dead." First, I was in utter disbelief and then the shock hit. MJ is invincible, he's supposed to live forever, he's supposed to be alive and kicking when my children grow up and are capable of listening to his music and appreciating his legend.

Woah. Not only was it a shock, but it was deeply saddening because, of course, the media must do its duty and raise all controversial and useless times in his life. Can't he rest in peace? Even though we all think and believe we know how his life transpired and what he was guilty or innocent of, we have no idea what he experienced on a daily basis or throughout his life. To be in a place where he commanded crowds of millions and made men, women and children cry at the sight of him... he was monumental, and I feel it rude and distasteful to act as if it was a situation other than that.

Think of his family; his children, his brothers and sister, his parents and his friends. They've lost not only a legend, but a loved one. May he R.I.P.

I will always remember him! Annie are you ok!?!?!

Cheers to Michael Jackson and his accomplishments, there will never be another.

woah... just joined... I know I'm late but shit.

Good times!

I think we looked cute! End of things is my title! Yee...!

Boyfriend.

So, relationships are hard. They test you in all possible ways, they teach you how to love, how not to love, how to respect, how not to hurt and sometimes, still end in heartache.

For me, a boyfriend is my best friend. I can tell him anything, he can tell me anything. We love, laugh, fight, tease, get sick, become upset, cry, scream and rejoice together. He is my partner and the one I can always count on to support and love me.

Some people spend their entire lives searching for their one "true" love. Others are too afraid of becoming vulnerable and really letting someone have their heart. Every day is packed full of decisions that can determine your life, love and happiness. Make sure those decisions count and are true to you.

I love you.

done with TFA...

Sunday night was a celebration... the culmination of the last 2 years of hard work, sacrifice, blood shed (literally), and amazing achievement. My experience with Teach for America will never be forgotten... it has changed my life in so many ways, and will be a significant factor in what influences my career choices and life decisions.
