This entry is dedicated to the people in my life that were there for me when I was losing it, breaking down and going through it. I have the tendency to get trapped in my own mind and forget that every single being on this planet is going through their own struggle. Why you were there for me I don't know especially with me being so self indulgent, drowning in my own misery.
Nancy Accomando comes to mind first. I met her when I was 16 and although we had CRAZY fun experimenting with beers and cloves and roaming around the neighborhood late at night-this lady was there for me when I would go months without talking to her because I was depressed. Needless to say Nancy is now clear across the country and we now remain facebook friends. I love you NanYann.
Nicole Betancourt is another friend (who is actually the GodMother of my only child). She is the most balanced fair human being I know and I just want to apologize for the scare I gave you in 2004. Thank you for saving my life...literally and for continuing to be there for us.
To Phyllis and Theresa Edwards. My sisters. You've given me enough comic relief and moral support for a few more life times. We are sisters. Arguments, disagreements and all.
Angelica. I love you. You are the ride or die chick for real. I know for sure you will ALWAYS be my friend and ALWAYS keep it real.
Chandra-you remember things about me that I don't even remember. Your heart is like no other and you deserve nothing but the best in this life. Always a source of positivity and inspiration. Thank you for not judging me. That's important. I'm so happy we are still in eachother's lives.
Aimee-you taught me more than you will ever know. I remember in 4th Grade when I was forever gettin' mad at you and one day you just straight flipped it and was like-"screw that-stay mad-I don't care"-and I was like "what the h*ll is going on??? Naturally I started asking you to be my friend again! LOL! That was the first time I experienced the "ya don't miss a good thing 'til it's gone" thing. I love you. Thank you for that lesson...and for staying real and being such a cheerleader for my art. The poetry, the photography. I know we'll be friends always.
And to you Kishonda-girl you are family. We've known eachother since before we started school and it is a blessing to still have you in my life. You inspire me more than you'll ever know.
Lisa Teti!!!! Congratulations on your beautiful baby. I can explain how happy I am to have you back in my life. Please know that I am here for you like you have been here for me. You've been through so much in this past year. You are so beautiful and I know--FOR A FACT that no matter how many years go by-we can begin where we left off.
To everyone in my past-present-and future friends and family. Forgive Me for not being a good friend all the time. I am in constant transition, trying to better myself. I withdrew and withdraw as a defense mechanism and am working on that. Thank you for being my therapy. I wish you would all feel free to call me when you are going through it yourself so we can be sources of inpiration for eachother.
To all the people who did not get a personal shout out. You are not forgotten at all. I just know these ladies deserve to hear this. we've been through alot. Together and apart.
I TRULY LOVE YOU. Thank you for being my friend-even when I didn't deserve it.
