Tomorrow May Never Come...
...for you, Umi...life is not promised.
In a good place today. Got some reading done, went to the mall, got me a "little" (but not really little) black dress for the formal coming up in a couple weeks. Yesterday, the boys and we made a wager on who would be the best dressed for the formal. The boys = Obi and Edmond. We = Emmanuelle and I. A whole lot of trash talking ensued.... they know we are going to win, though.
I ain't no perfect man...I'm tryna do the best that I can, with what it is I have.
The boys cooked for us yesterday afternoon. A result of another wager. They did a good job. Good music, good food, hilarious conversations... and then Nigerian music videos on youtube. lol That's why I say I love my folks.
I put my heart and soul into this song... I hope you feel me
I realized today that I can understand pidgin English better than Twi. I'm gonna need to get on the first plane to Ghana... Sometimes, I wonder if I have something similar to the "biracial child syndrome." But, I don't. But, I do. I've never felt rejected from a particular group of people, and yet... I'm not fully anything. Does it really matter?
My Umi says shine your light on the world.. Shine your light for the world to see.
Back to feeling good...Today, the undergraduates had the African Culture Show. It was cool... good food and music..yet again. One group of dancers asked for vounteers to help do a Senegalese style of dancing. Yours truly was the first person to raise her hand. Went up in front of the audience, with a couple other people, and danced. Somehow, my inhibitions fell by the wayside, because before, there would be no way in the world that I would get up and dance in front of people (unless it was a recital).
It was fun. Had the opportunity to laugh at myself. Had the opportunity for folks to laugh at me. I think I'm finally turning into a full blown Leo. Talk about a late bloomer. But, hey... it's all done for the love of life, self, and others. How cliche was that? lol
Despite the things I've endured in the past, I feel blessed. And I pray for the wisdom to continue to make good decisions...at least 70% of the time.
