My First Time Driving (Legitimately)

SO GUESS WHAT...YESTERDAY THE INSURANCE PAPERS FINALLY CAME IN THE MAIL...so today I drove to crossfit at church by myself...I know the general whereabouts, but still had google maps on my iphone and surprisingly it spoke out the directions, sickkk!!! Bluetoothed my phone to the car so I played music and had the directions out...but I think people were cheesing at me cuz I was in the middle lane (the fast lane) and going the speed limit lol so I switched to the slow lane and I also stopped for all stop signs, so people probably were like who is this noob lol but other than that it felt so nice to drive by myself, windows and just blasting music...could def get used to this.

I Hate Pretty Boys...

Okay well maybe I don't hate them...def aren't jealous of them. But my whole life, I've been surrounded by them...if you know me, I've always been the quiet kid...that kid who's in the group, but you don't really notice. I dunno...just from my numerous encounters and experiences with pretty boys...they're usually very cocky, self absorbed and they just think they're better than you you know. You ever meet those dudes who are just really all about their looks and you can tell they look down on your or think they're better than you cuz they get a lot of girls or something...those are the kinds of dudes who'll take pictures of their abs LOL...or find any excuse to take their shirt off...like relax...but yeah...just something random that came to my mind.

How I Started Blogging...

Most of y'all don't know this...some of y'all do...or maybe a lot of y'all do. Anyways like 4 years ago...around 2009...my 2 friends from high school started a blog of their own. Me and this one friend never really saw eye to eye in the beginning of grade 9, we had our issues, we never really liked each other, but we were in the same social circle and had many mutual close friends. So around grade 11, we put our differences aside and became friends...he was a rapper, writer, poet...whatever you wanna call it...and he is actually also the person who inspired me to start writing...just the passion he had and the effort and heart he put into his words really moved me..and I told him that. So yeah...he started a blog, a place to share his thoughts and just other interesting things...and it got me interesting in the idea of starting a blog and doing the same. Sadly enough, him and his buddy stopped blogging a few months after...and I believe I went on a hiatus as well...I can't remember what got me back into it...but all I know is I slowly began writing more posts of my own and yeah, here we are today lol...so thank him...or I wouldn't have started writing and more importantly blogging...

That Time I Lost My Memory...

LOL kidding...but forreal tho, this morning I woke up from the craziest dream. Most of y'all know I play softball, so I had a dream I was rounding a base and someone threw the ball trying to get me out but the ball hit the back of my head and I fell unconscious, woke up in the hospital and couldn't remember anything besides my family. That's when I woke up in real life...imagine if that actually happened tho...lol...like I woke up and I couldn't remember anything or anyone...all of my friends...I would have to rebuild all those friendships and start from ground zero all over again with everyone and everything...what were my interests and stuff again...would I still play basketbll, just a bunch of interesting things that got me thinking. But obv the big one is friendships...would I still be friends or close friends with the same people...damn that's crazy, would I still be the same person...

Dear God

I'm feeling overwhelmed...a lot of things are slowly piling onto my plate and a lot of things are really eating at me...I'm praying for strength and peace right now God. My heart isn't right with you...I'm doing my best not to please man, but at the same time I know that I need fellowship with others in order to grow as a christian. God, help me...it's tough...I know it's supposed to be, but sometimes...giving in seems really tempting...God I pray you really rid these thoughts from my head. I trust You...in any and every circumstance...that You will guide me through and teach me along the way. I pray that Your will be done onto me...that through it all, I'll always give You the glory. When I stray away, I hope you guide me back on track...give my heart peace...really fill up my spirits, I've been feeling so exhausted as of late...I trust You God.
