I slept in this morning. Then, I woke up and immediately took a photo on photobooth. Makeup-less and without the signature bags under my eyes... I sighed a breath of relief. Finals are almost over, as is my second year of law school. I am approximately 1 year away from placing "ESQ." after my name. Aint that a blip??? Lol.
I've really enjoyed reading your emails. They've made me feel... uhhh... well... Honestly? They've just made me feel. You never know what someone is going through. Your kind words at times when I've been discouraged have meant so so so so much. I appreciate you, my readers,
my loves...Anyway, so much has transpired since the last time I wrote something worthwhile. The Knicks made it to the playoffs, then got knocked out in the first round (SMH!). My President gave into the racist white elitists by releasing his birth certificate, proving his citizenship. However, in THE most gully scene since the movie
American Gangster, he followed that up by killing the most wanted man in the universe. The world has just been wildin out..!!!
The most pressing questions on all of your minds, however, seem to concern my love life. "Who is this "
Brooklyn Bridge" character?" "Have you finally been tamed, Miss Shake Something?" Haha...and the one that tickles me the most, "Can we get a picture of this individual, please?"
ON THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE:
Let me think. What can I say about the Brooklyn Bridge? I've visited the Brooklyn Bridge several times since I wrote that blog. I took in a few lunches. I watched a few orangey-purple sunsets. I even did a charity walk across it for multiple sclerosis. I look at the second to last paragraph of my post about the Brooklyn Bridge and I'm proud of me. I knew that he -- I mean, the bridge -- was a point of intersection in my life. It's located directly between where I was born and raised and where I wanted so badly to be.
The thing about having a relationship with a bridge, though, is that it's stagnant. No matter where I'm going in my life and no matter how much I want to take it along with me, it isn't going anywhere. I'm a mover and shaker. I was stuck on a bridge when I really needed to be in a cab or on a boat!!! (*crackin up*) Though I enjoyed every minute of my rendezvous on the Brooklyn Bridge, I need to be able to travel uptown for a basketball game at Riverbank Park or go midtown to take in a Broadway show. The Brooklyn Bridge is still one of my favorite places. My relationship with it has simply been transformed. I realized that the bridge is only a TEENY TINY part of the "maaaagic" that is
New York City.
ON NEW YORK CITY:
Why have I spent so much time, so many blogs and so many conversations trying to pinpoint a part of this city that I love the MOST? Why do I have to pick just one thing, or just one place? I've visited many cities around the world in my little life, but I'm pleased to say that New York City has my heart... entirely, fiercely and unconditionally. New York City nurtures me and compels me to grow. He is everything I dreamed when I was a little, little girl and I am grateful to God that He saw fit to let me experience the wonder of this city. So, from the Boogie down Bronx all the way to the tippity tip of Queens, this summer my blog will be a reflection of me finally finding my FOREVER love. :-)
Hang on tight,
loves. It's about to be a wild ride!
Hello, sweet summer.
(lol. i took another, more awake pic before leaving the house...)
