"Bloggin', Workin', Waitin' " http://brikhousedelights.blogspot.com/

Hopping back into the blog world! I have so many topics I want to just explode on, but at the same time, I'm trying to deal with the imbalances of life. Some of us have the biggest dreams, right? Things we've been wanting to do or want to do. We (some of us) work hard-dedication, motivation, persistence-and it's still not our turn. I believe some of us expect it to just happen because we feel we've worked hard enough for it. We decide when we deserve something and it totally doesn't happen like that. Like, seriously. We're aimlessly searching and inquiring "Why me?" and "When is it my turn?" A few things I'm still learning: time was not created to vow to always be our friend (therefore it does not, in fact, have to be on our side), we do not decide our turn for success and breakthrough in all cases (we do have control over our decisions), and we all have a purpose we are free to accept...or not. My writings, my poems, and my passion for and need to assist juveniles undergoing troubles in the justice system and victims of domestic violence and assault- of which I attended college for- are all waiting to be unleashed and exposed to the world. They're screaming for opportunity and acknowledgement. I'm eager, but it's not my turn. And because it's not my turn, I'm forced to wait...and while I'm waiting, I have to work on improving all of those things, so when it is my turn, it'll be super-fantastic-al (yeah, that's made up). When I thought it was just me in the waiting line, I learned that it wasn't.

There are other people waiting and perfecting their dreams and goals as well. Another thing I do know: all of our turns exist. It's so tough remembering this sometimes especially when it's someone else's turn, but that doesn't mean we're supposed to stop working. I've grown impatient, cried tears of frustration, fell down and got back up, and been given the same test when I didn't pass it previously because I'd been doing something wrong, but discontinuing my mission is not going to happen. And that shouldn't happen for any of us. And if we can, we should help someone when they feel like discontinuing their mission... not only for the sake of their purpose, but because we've gotten so self-absorbed with ourselves as of late, numb due to tragedies, and taught to hate or hate on one another. There is so much potential among all of us... and tests, patience, hard work, and time are just some of the components of reaching and even surpassing our potential. Tests and waiting will get you. I mean, it can knock you to your knees-especially when you want what you've been working for like crazy-but we don't have to stay there.

I'm not even where I want to be yet, but my work and some of my accomplishments and awards I've received don't go completely unnoticed and that's enough to continue pursuing what I'm reaching for. So, to my people everywhere: my future clothing designer sister in Florida, my artists, my band friends in Florida, my future personal trainer in Alabama, my hard-workers in Georgia, my school sisters in Kentucky, my folks in Philly, North Carolina and South Carolina, my singer moving to New York, my overlooked (not for long) INDIANA HOOSIERS in my hometown that possess crazy talent, and everywhere else, I love that you're working for something and someone notices it. "If you're here, you're not finished."
