And it really messed with me. Initially we all thought it was a “hit and run (which was pretty bad) but it turns out the driver of the vehicle that hit the woman happened to be lady with her child in the back seat. She was so traumatized by hitting this lady that she had to pull over. We were all hysterical… Like I said, it’s still messing with me as we speak. I know she’s gonna be ok but this reinforced some valuable lessons my parents have taught me over the years. We must all be careful. Pay attention when you’re driving, and don’t be distracted when you’re crossing busy intersections. Your life is a gift, treat it as so. I don’t know this lady one bit but her being hurt, hurts me. I’m connected to her humanity. People are important. You are important. Love you guys. No really, I do.
pretend my life is this perfect thing to live but that would be far from the truth. Actually the truth is my life is full of ups and downs that I use as motivation to push me and as inspiration to share my deepest thoughts, even hurts, through personalized written lingo. Truth is I could pretend my personal/romantic relationships are simple and fulfilling but they aren’t, at least not all the time, but hey I’m a writer so I guess that fuels more material ;-) I’ve struggled personally, romantically, professionally, and even financially. I constantly ask “Who am I and what do I want?” How does this 20-something work towards happiness (and whatever that means) without sacrificing professional aspirations? (You know they say we can’t have it all, which I think is a total lie.) Well, I’m still trying to figure it out. Why? I can’t even tell you, when I know I should simply just live it out. All I know is that my music is driven by my love for writing and creative expression. I only sing to musically express what I write. I know that much about myself. My blog is extension of my creative and technological expression. These things I know, these things are genuine. I think you can see it for what it is. My music career, is not perfect… I strive everyday in the “regular” world as in the music business world. My relationships are complex and a constant thing I work at. My personality is- onion. These things I know, these things I will never have to pretend about. I hope you see it for what it is.

May Day
So I celebrated with one of my favorite girls for her birthday at Up (restaurant) this past weekend and it was wonderful. (Stylist) Adrienne marked another year of womanhood by having a lavish dinner with close friends. We shared stories, reminisced, laughed and loved. I’m so blessed to know strong young women that are devoted to their purpose and contributing to the world in their own special way. Happy birthday again Adrienne, we love love love you darling!
