Life Changes

Never realized how much life could change within a 6 month period. I didn't realize how much growing I could do living on my own in a different city. Never would've have thought the people I depended upon wouldn't be there. Never would have thought certain friends and family would be there. I feel like my life is clearing itself out; maybe getting ready for something new and exciting. Today, I accept those changes.

Every day and every moment is new...I'm still excited about what Chicago has to offer me.

Tired

There is too much violence. Too many homeless people. Too many drugs. Too many kids without healthcare. Too many rape victims. Too many kids not getting enough love. Teenagers having babies. Youth with potential who have no money to attend college. Not enough positive mentors. Why doesn't the paparazzi focus on this aspect of life? Show us the truth photographers. Show us what is happening on the southside of Chicago everyday. Show us what is happening on the streets of Los Angeles. More people have to come together to help. It's all too much.

In that same breath, human beings are so resilient. African-Americans are still surviving. Latinos are still helping to build a country that was taken from them. We're still breaking barriers. We will continue to break barriers. We have to.
