if you lie, make it a good one
my life right now is in a huge transition. i think i'm in the 'calm before the storm' so to speak. i leave for kentucky on tuesday morning and i'm kinda sad about it. i'm not sad about getting away from vestavia (sorry kids but i'm not) but i'm sad about leaving my people. i know that most of them are already in school across the state and the country, but some of them are still here and will be here.
today i woke up and hung out with my folks for a while. we had lunch and then i did some more packing/organizing. it's crazy how much i still have to do. after that i went to moe's to see kelvin and then i went to walmart to pick up a few things. I got to talk to CBG while i was there and that was good. she's so smart and knows exactly what to say. i love her and it's going to be weird not seeing her as often as i have lately. after that i went back to moe's and kelvin and i decided to go hang out for a while. i'm going to miss him a lot. i took the best picture of him...it's so good! and the weird thing about it is that i was just taking random ones of him while he was talking (half way to piss him off and half way b/c i need some that's been going on lately. they really helped me to feel better about the decision i've made. i think this is the more pictures of him and i like my new camera) and this one was just good. i'm thinking about posting it but i don't know. after that i came home and had dinner with my mom and bob. it was really good. we talked about the stuff first time that i've been concious of learning from my hurt. i didn't allow myself to push and push and give and give until it nearly destroyed me like i did just a few years ago. i may have lost some relationships, but in the end, "friends may come, and they may go, but through the years i will stay" (thanks john legend). i'm not bad mouthing anyone, it's their choice and they are free to make it and do as they choose and i'm going to do the same. after dinner i hung out for a while and then i went to starbucks and got a caramel frap. then i just sort of drove around and ended up at homewood park. i walked to one of my favorite spots and had some alone time. i thought about a lot of different things. it was nice to have some time to just decompress. now, i'm listening to sean paul and waiting for kelvin to call me back. i think that there's something going on with his sister and her boyfriend, penda. like, nothing bad, but maybe an engagement is sorta in the works...i don't know. some tanzanian thing i think. ha...i love that i get to learn so much about a culture that is so different from mine like this. it's so interesting. thank you god for bringing people into my life to change me like this. it's awesome and i'm so happy. as a side note, i will now be screening all comments on my journal. that's my right and i'm exercising it.
just be nice and polite and we'll all be happy
edit: i was going to make that picture of kelvin my icon picture, but it's not working out correctly so i'm lazy and giving up. i'll take one of the two of us and maybe that'll be my picture. ha, i'm a dork sorry
